"I met Brian Maike in August when he came to talk to me about the Aquastop Perimeter Drain System. A friend had already had 3 estimates on her basement and when Brian gave me the cost, it was a little lower and what sold me is the lifetime warranty on the home.
David and his crew came out early on a Monday (Dom & Matt) and did a fantastic job making sure the dust from removal of the cement was taken care of and cleaned up afterwards. I noticed the musty smell which was causing mold was taken care of. After 2 inspections by my city, they returned on a Friday to cement the trench. (Eric instead of Matt this time.). They did a great job again carrying all the buckets of cement and again a great clean up job.
I’ve already passed along their info because of the great job done by all 5 of them. Brian was very helpful with answering all my questions before, during and at the end of the job."
Have you ever wondered why concrete surfaces in your yard or driveway seem to shift over time? In Macomb, soil and moisture conditions are key factors in this common issue. The local mineral-rich soil can expand and contract significantly with seasonal moisture changes. During rainy periods or spring thaws, the soil absorbs water, swells, and increases pressure on concrete surfaces. Conversely, when the weather is dry, the soil contracts, and spaces form beneath the concrete. This natural cycle of expansion and contraction results in uneven surfaces or sinking slabs around your property.
This movement places stress on your property's concrete, leading to cracks or shifting over time. Driveways, walkways, and patios in Macomb are particularly vulnerable to these issues. Signs of trouble might include pooling water, uneven walking surfaces, or areas that feel like they might give underfoot. Identifying these warning signs early is crucial, as they can indicate the start of a larger problem. Concrete lifting and repair can help avoid these risks, preventing further damage and maintaining the safety and appearance of your home. By understanding how local soil conditions impact your concrete, you can better protect your investment and maintain a stable foundation for years to come.

In many cases, cracked or broken slabs can be lifted and repaired using methods such as foam lifting or mudjacking. However, if the slabs are severely damaged, replacement might be necessary. A professional assessment can determine the best solution.
Cracks in concrete can be either cosmetic or indicative of a larger issue. Hairline cracks often are cosmetic, but larger cracks may suggest underlying structural problems that should be evaluated by a professional.
Foam lifting services typically come with warranties that can vary in terms of duration and coverage. Commonly, warranties range from 1 to 5 years, but it is important to discuss warranty specifics with the service provider.
Not necessarily. Sinking concrete can often be stabilized and lifted using techniques such as foam lifting. It's important to have a professional inspection to determine whether the foundation itself is compromised or if it's just the concrete surface that needs attention.
