Raise settled concrete. The Great Leap Forward in concrete raising took place in 1983 when Geo-polymer Slabjacking was first introduced. The material being injected as a liquid which quickly expands eliminated “pyramiding” of the material. Pyramiding is when material goes in the opening of the concrete slab during the Slabjacking process and supports the slab...

Over time the rebar will rust and weaken, eventually failing causing the slab to drop. As...
A typical patio with minor settling under the sliding door Jobs done! Notice how it is nice and tight against the door frame, just like new! Once concrete settling starts you can expect it to accelerate. This is because rain, snow melt, sprinklers and any other source of water will start to drain in...

A two inch drop from the garage to the driveway Problem – Driveways like the example above are common.
