Concrete Lifting & Leveling in Baltimore, MD

4.7 (820)

When concrete surfaces like driveways, sidewalks, or patios become uneven, it can lead to annoying trip hazards and potential damage. In Baltimore, where soil erosion can be an issue due to the regular rainfall averaging around 41 inches annually, concrete slabs are prone to settling and shifting over time. Thankfully, concrete lifting techniques, such as PolyRenewal™ polyurethane injection, can effectively address these issues by stabilizing the base and filling voids. This method involves injecting expanding foam under the sunken slabs, which raises and levels them back to their original position, offering a long-lasting solution to settled concrete and slab leveling problems.

"I’m really happy with the work and conduct of the JES team. I hired them to install 6 pilings to stabilize a garage I had built 4 years ago. They arrived on time, and sent me a text on both mornings when they arrived. The crew was led by Santos Cruz, who was pleasant to speak with and was knowledgeable about the work being done. He answered all of my questions before and during the process. His team consisted of David Allerdings, Lucas Batista, and Joseph Wooten. All of the guys were very tolerant of my two Dogs who occasionally were sniffing and barking around the job site. Even though several of the holes were 5+ feet deep, they did a great job keeping them close to the building in an attempt to not dig up more than needed. The finished job looked very good, and except for the loss of grass, looked almost untouched. Additionally they buried a downspout pipe that had been previously laid on top of the ground which was a nice touch to finish off the job."

Common Causes of your Concrete Problems in Baltimore

Have you noticed uneven floors or slight dips in your concrete slabs? Such issues are not uncommon for homes in this area, where the interplay of soil and moisture can be quite dramatic over time. Baltimore's varied climate, with its alternating cycles of moisture and dryness, plays a significant role in the shifting of soil beneath your home. As the soil expands when wet and contracts when dry, it can lead to gradual settling or upheaval of your concrete surfaces. This can result in sections becoming uneven, a clear indication that the foundation on which your home rests might be experiencing stress.

These foundational movements are a critical factor in problems with concrete slabs. When the soil beneath a home loses its ability to support the concrete evenly, it may cause the slabs to sink or become misaligned. You might notice signs such as cracking in the walls, doors sticking, or pools of water collecting where they didn't before. Addressing these signs early on is crucial, as doing so helps prevent them from escalating into more severe structural problems. By understanding how local environmental conditions affect your home, you can take proactive steps to keep it stable and secure.

FAQs

Polyurethane foam lifting is often more cost-effective compared to traditional methods like mudjacking or complete concrete replacement. It requires less material, labor, and time, making it a more economical choice for many homeowners.

Foam lifting primarily serves to raise the concrete back to its original position but it can also add a degree of reinforcement. The foam material fills voids beneath the concrete, providing added support and stability, which can help prevent future sinking or settling.

Sinking concrete can be a sign of foundation problems or other issues such as soil erosion, poor drainage, or compaction. It's important to assess the underlying cause of the sinking to determine the appropriate repair solution.

During a concrete lifting estimate, a technician will assess the condition of your concrete, identify areas of sinking or instability, and discuss your options for repair. They will explain the lifting process, provide a project timeline, and offer a detailed cost estimate.

Poor drainage can lead to soil erosion and settlement issues beneath concrete walkways or driveways. This can cause the concrete to sink, crack, or become uneven, leading to potential safety hazards and the need for repairs. Proper drainage is essential to maintaining the longevity and stability of concrete surfaces.
