The concrete that surrounds your home has its purposes. Whether it be your driveway, sidewalk, or your foundation, concrete has an impact on the life inside and around your home. Besides its basic purposes, concrete also has a way of telling you about the structural integrity of your property. If your driveway or sidewalk begins to crack, it may mean that the soil underneath of it has begun to move and shift, leaving behind voids that the concrete will slowly begin to fall into. If your concrete foundation begins to crack or lean, it may mean foundation failure. If you notice your concrete has started to fail, through cracking, sinking, or settling, it may mean other problems are behind it. Repairing your concrete and/or repairing the foundation failure behind it will help to keep your foundation and your property’s concrete in its best shape. This will also keep your home’s foundation failure from getting worse, creating the need for more expensive foundation repair. In order to keep your concrete in its best shape, it is best to take regular notice of its condition. As a homeowner or business owner take inventory of the concrete around the property such as:
If you notice cracks, sinking or settling, or gaps in your concrete it may be time to get some concrete repair. Keeping your concrete safe and up-to-date will keep your home or business from having any future foundation problems, so now is the time for concrete repair.
That is where we come in. At United Structural Systems we offer methods of concrete repair such as mudjacking, a process that will help to stabilize and lift the concrete back into its original position. The process is relatively simple, we will drill several small holes throughout the affected area. Next we will inject a polyurethane solution through the holes that will begin to fill the void underneath the failing concrete. The solution will expand to fill every corner so that the concrete will be completely back to normal. It will be ready for immediate use. Mudjacking has a variety of benefits as well. This method of concrete repair is cost effective, time effective, clean, and it does not leave you with non-matching concrete like replacement will.
