In Advance, homeowners often encounter issues with uneven concrete surfaces, including driveways, sidewalks, and patios, largely due to the region's clay soil and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles. These conditions can result in sinking steps and cracked surfaces that not only create safety hazards but also detract from your property's overall appeal. Our innovative Concrete Lifting solutions utilize PolyRenewal™ Polyurethane Injection, which provides superior results compared to traditional methods like mudjacking, effectively restoring the integrity of your concrete.

Why your neighbors trust Tar Heel Basement Systems
We've earned 1,272 five star reviews.
"During remodel of our spacious walk-in basement, came to realize that the back wall and fireplace leaked during a hard rain. Quickly ruling out any outside solution we turned to Tar Heel for their AquaStop BasementGutterl. Paul our inspector did exceptional job of understanding our unique problems offering us options that we used to create an affordable solution. The diagram he drew was exceptional so by this time we had a lot of confidence. Our installers Mathais, Terrance and Matt really could not have done a better job. I would recommend Tar Heel Basement System to a friend. One piece of advice I can offer is to get THBS to work first, don't design your interior with water problems as a consideration."
Common Causes of your Concrete Problems in Advance
Poor Soil Compaction
The soil beneath the concrete may not have been compacted enough during construction. Over time, the loose soil shifts and settles, causing the concrete to sink or crack.
Soil Erosion
Water from rain, sprinklers, or poor drainage can wash away the soil under the slab. This creates empty spaces, making the concrete sink or become uneven.
Climate Conditions
When saturated, clay soil expands, and when dry, it contracts. These constant changes in moisture levels weaken the support beneath the concrete.
Freeze-Thaw Cycles
Water in the soil freezes and expands during winter, then thaws and contracts. This movement puts pressure on the concrete, leading to cracks or lifting over time.
Tree Roots
Roots from nearby trees or shrubs can grow underneath concrete. As they grow, they push up on the slab, causing uneven surfaces or cracks.
Heavy Loads
Parking heavy vehicles or placing large items on concrete can compact the soil underneath. Weak soil cannot often support the weight, causing the slab to sink or crack.
Poor Drainage
Excessive rainwater or water pooling near concrete slabs can lead to soil washout, weakening the soil under the concrete.
