Why Home Foundations Settle

When you start noticing your floor sloping and begin to realize there is a gap at your baseboards, there is a moment of panic. Like any other concrete section that has settled, home slabs begin to sink when the soil underneath the slab is not reinforced properly to handle the weight of the slab. Though the problem isn’t noticeable at first, over time the small warning signs become more and more pronounced. Fortunately, JACKCRETE can fix foundation slab settlement before it becomes a much larger problem.

Leveling Settled Home Concrete Foundations

By injecting spray foam in a grid pattern around the settled foundation slab, JACKCRETE is able to reinforce the soil and lift the foundation back to level. Our technicians are trained to lift interior slabs within a 1/1000” variance when needed, and usually only take between 1-3 hours to complete an interior project. To make sure we can do our work, homeowners must move large furniture out of the work area as well as roll back the carpet temporarily if needed. Once we’re done, your slab is lifted back to its original position and the odds of future settlement is minimized.

Foam Jacking for Slab Foundation Leveling

There are a few solutions for home foundation repairs. The first is helical pier foundation repair. In this process, a company drills through the foundation down to stabile bedrock, then supports the house using a series of piers. This method is necessary when houses are constructed with a crawlspace or basement. Poured concrete slab foundations, however, can be stabilized and leveled with polyurethane foam injection. The JACKCRETE solution is much more time and cost effective for foundation repair.
