"James ******* is fantastic. He quickly identified several issues in our home using advanced equipment and visual inspection. He explained the process of the crawlspace encapsulation and showed us photos so that we understood exactly what is beneath our home. He has worked very well with the contractor from ****, Wayne, who is also excellent. The two of them have agreed on several things, and will work together to try to save our subfloor we were previously told had to be ripped out. We have very scary issues with our house (mold, sagging beams from a dishwasher leak and the foundation shifting due to this). James has drawn a diagram of the house as far as he can for now. Wayne from **** is doing the same. Our HVAC must be ripped out before James can evaluate the rest of our house, but he was able to show us where we have crawlspace and where it is slab. We highly recommend this very knowledgeable and professional technician. We trust him and are grateful he and the other contractor are able to work so well together to try to help us during one of the worst nightmares of our lives. Their calm mannerisms are helping us not panic, and we know they could have padded the bill and ripped out the sub floor. Not wanting to do this shows us even more so that we can trust James to make the best decision to help us. He got down in our crawlspace that is very short in freezing weather and took photos of everything. He is dedicated and he really cares."
Common Causes of your Concrete Problems in Wilmington
Noticing uneven floors or cracks in your walls? These are telltale signs that your home in Wilmington might be dealing with foundation issues tied to concrete settlement or sinking. The interaction between soil and moisture significantly contributes to this problem in our area. The Ohio freeze-thaw cycle, combined with periods of high groundwater, causes the soil to expand and contract. This movement is particularly common in local yards with heavy clay soil, which retains moisture. Over time, this can lead to uneven settling or shifting of concrete elements beneath your home, putting stress on your foundation.
As these soil changes occur, they can create voids beneath your home, prompting the need for concrete lifting. This process helps to realign sunken slabs, providing a level surface once again. Addressing these issues early is crucial. Without intervention, settlement can lead to more severe damage like sticking doors and pooling water in your basement or crawl space. Detecting these problems promptly can save homeowners in Wilmington from more extensive repairs in the future, preserving your property and peace of mind.

Yes, concrete lifting is generally more affordable than replacing the entire slab since it involves leveling the existing concrete rather than removing and pouring new material.
Lifted concrete can be made to match the rest of your slab or walkway. While there might be subtle differences in texture or color due to age and weathering of the original concrete, professional contractors can usually achieve a satisfactory match.
Cracks in your concrete can sometimes be just cosmetic, but they can also indicate underlying issues such as soil movement or settling. It's important to have them assessed by a professional to determine if they could lead to more serious structural problems.
A typical concrete lifting project can usually be completed in just a few hours, depending on the size and complexity of the area that needs to be lifted.
