Landmark Lifting
Concrete Lifting in Benjamin Utah
Benjamin, Utah is known for its beautiful views and open spaces.
When you see one of your concrete slabs sinking into the ground, there is a lot more at risk than just your curb appeal. Uneven concrete not only looks bad it’s also a trip hazard and when it’s buried under leaves and snow it becomes even more dangerous. Landmark Lifting is here to help with all of the concrete lifting in Benjamin, Utah, to keep your property safe and attractive.
Why Concrete Sinks?
Concrete shifts and settles when voids open underground. These holes are usually caused by mixing dirt of different densities during construction. When that mixture of dirt is under a concrete slab, the ground can start to settle, especially if there’s been some erosion. It’s possible for both rain and snowmelt can seep into the ground under your concrete and start eroding the loose dirt, but that’s not usually the reason for erosion. The most common reason for erosion and sinking concrete is broken underground water pipes. The consistent flow of water washes away loose dirt right out from under the concrete.
How to Repair Sunken Concrete?
There are 2 repair options for sunken concrete:
-
You can break the slab, remove the pieces, and pour a new concrete slab.
-
We can raise your concrete slab back into its original position in a matter of minutes!
Option 1 is a headache. It’s expensive, time-consuming, and difficult because the concrete has to be entirely broken up and removed before the hole can even be filled and tamped down. After that, you can frame the hole in for the new concrete to be poured and the concrete will need to cure for weeks if the weather is warm enough… longer if the weather is cold. It can quickly become a bigger hassle to get around than the sunken concrete was!
Option 2 can literally be done in 1 day with a few dime-sized holes and is ready to hold weight within 15 minutes!
The second option is what we recommend and it only takes a few hours!
DRILL
A pattern of dime-sized holes is drilled through the sunken concrete slabs.
LIFT
Insert an air-tight tube, attach a hose from our pressurized injection system and inject our eco-friendly polyurethane expanding foam.
PATCH
The tubes are removed and we patch the drill holes with cement. You're cement will be able to bare weight immediately!
