7 Reasons Why You Should Fix Your Sinking Concrete
Cracking and sinking concrete around your property is common, but it is a danger that should not be ignored. In this article, we’re going to highlight the top reasons why you should fix your sinking concrete. Let’s get started!
7 Reasons Why You Should Fix Sinking Concrete
If you’ve been putting off repairing damaged concrete around your home, don’t! Here’s why:
- The problem will worsen over time and cost much more to fix.
- Your property’s resale value will decrease with every crack and sag.
- Unlevel concrete can cause cracks in weak spots around your property, inside and outside your home.
- Uneven surfaces like sidewalks and patios pose severe safety risks, causing unwanted liability.
- Cracks in slabs or bricks lead to water intrusion, causing flooding, high humidity, and mold growth.
- Pooling water that collects in driveways or patios creates patches of ice in the winter, posing another safety risk.
- Slab settlement can cause further structural damage, including sticking doors, window gaps, water intrusion, and leaning chimneys.
This is just a brief list of the hazards cracking and sinking concrete can cause. Stop them right away and prevent additional ones from endangering your family by investing in trusted concrete lifting and leveling.
Is Concrete Repair Disruptive to My Home?
Some traditional concrete repair methods, including mudjacking and repouring, can be invasive, time-consuming, and expensive. Both techniques can leave you without access to the repaired areas for days.
Mudjacking involves drilling soda can-sized holes in the affected concrete and pumping a heavy slurry mixture underneath. This can be messy, and the material can take days to fully cure. Similarly, demolishing existing concrete and repouring new cement takes time, and it could be several days before the area is dry and usable.
However, concrete lifting with polyurethane injections is fast, cost-effective, and long-lasting. The installation only requires small penny-sized drill holes, and the lightweight yet durable foam cures in 15 minutes. You can return to using your concrete the same day as the installation!
What to Do Next
In this post, we answered your question about why you should fix sinking concrete slabs. Cracking and uneven concrete affect your home’s safety and appearance, but you can trust local repair professionals to transform these problematic areas of your property.
There’s much more to know about concrete lifting and leveling, so keep checking back for more helpful information for your home!

My inspector, Carter Lassiter, was very professional and educational in helping me understand exactly what I needed to have done underneath my house to ensure my 100 yr+ historical home remained in tact. Prior to Carter coming out, I had paid another company to do what I thought was going to fix my crawl space and unfortunately after one year I started to see issues arise again. Wood rot, moisture, etc. When Sam and Josh (the production team) arrived, they were just as professional and informative of the work they would be doing in my crawlspace. I felt confident from the first inspection all the way to the production team who completed the work to correct and truly fix my crawlspace. Having a warranty from Tarheel Basement makes me feel much more comfortable this go round compared to who I used before. 10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND

We had the "A Team" (Nyles R. Jeff T. and Tyree M.) come out to do our crawl space, and they lived up to their title. Nyles walked me through all the work they were going to do, he clearly explained it and was very patient with me, and all my questions; even as I crawled around their work space, they took the time to answer all of my questions. As an artisan I can tell when someone has done good, mediocre or bad work. Even if you don't know the work itself, you can tell by how the work is being performed, executed and completed; the detail and dedication to the work itself. Nyles, Jeff and Tyree, the "A Team", were Awesome!

From Brandon, the account manager/estimator to the crew on site (John, Edwin and Colin – I hope I got all their names correct). They were awesome. Brandon was very informative and explained everything thoroughly during the estimate, he communicated through out and even answered a couple phone calls and text messages while he was out of town. The crew – John was the foreman and was super helpful. Called/texted each morning before they showed up, was professional and upbeat. This is not an easy job and they all were very professional. Would happily pay them for any future properties I may have. Sure fire example of, you pay for what you get. Professional, courteous, upbeat and communication was perfect. Thanks guys!

They were very timely arriving at job site. No waiting on my part. They ask me several times if I had any questions. And they placed items back where they needed to be. I have several other projects in mind for Tarheel Basement Solutions. I would not hesitate to recommend them for your projects.

Tar Heel is a great company to work with from start to finish. Jamie came out for the initial inspection and estimate. I was very impressed with his knowledge. Later, when I had some unexpected expenses, he was able to modify the project to fit within my revised budget. The finished project was perfect. The workers were punctual, efficient, and neat. They explained everything before leaving and were very pleasant. And my basement has stayed dry! I would recommend Tar Heel for any basement project.

We used Tar Heel Basement Systems repair a rotted sill beam on the front of our 100+ year old house. From the time Clint showed up to do our estimate untill the crew left having completed the work it was a great experience. Clint was very thorough and ensured we understood everything before he left. When the crew arrived the Foreman, Evan spoke in terms I as the homeowner could understand. He went over everything again and made sure I knew the scope of work, the time line, etc. Matt and Cody did a great job. They made quick work of getting all the old insulation out of the crawlspace. They all did a great job with the structural work and that did one last walk around and picked up all the old insulation down to the smallest pieces. Very professional crew

This review applies only to the person, Lisa, that helped complete our project. Our encapsulation project took over a year and a half to complete. It was a long process of phone calls not returned, emails not answered, and follow up not done. But, once Lisa became my contact, she made sure that everything was done when it was supposed to be done. That included multiple trips to fix problems found in inspections, multiple county inspections, and a refund for electrical work that I paid for twice. When Lisa said it would happen, it did. What a refreshing change from the previous 16 months. Great job, Lisa!

Mike Z., Tae S., and Lawrence B. Were punctual, professional gentlemen. Mike thoroughly explained to me the entire process- both before and after work completed – additionally, showing me pictures discussing the work as well. Site was cleaned up, could not even tell they had been there! I am very satisfied with their work. Thank you!

So beyond pleased with Tarheel Basement Systems! I'm a 2-year customer as of this week. A complete encapsulation, french drains, sump pump and dehumidifier. I receive an inspection each year around this time, my representative was John Snow, was amazing, so polite, punctual, kept me up to date on his arrival via text and phone, it was so pleasant seeing someone who "gets" customer service , and John does! He informed me my dehumidifier was not working, and would be replaced under warranty, and like clockwork as John said, he replaced it today! The easiest replacement ever, he arrived worked diligently, above and beyond! Again, beyond pleased!

David P. and Mathias replaced the foundation pillars in my basement. They were professional, experienced, and patient in their work. I felt like they treated my home as they would their own, and they wanted to be sure that I understood and was comfortable with all work performed. I would highly recommend Tar Heel Basement Systems to others.

Tarheel Basement Systems and the entire crew including Ken, Stephen, Tyler B., Terrance H., Keaton and Jael did an incredible job! They all were respectful, polite, worked very hard and got the job done on time! We received quotes from a couple of other companies, but Jeff at Tarheel Basement Systems beat all the others and saved us thousands! I highly recommend them, no need to call any other company!

Wanted to leave a review of my Groundworks crew (Austin, Chris, and Harry). Work performed was done very satisfactorily and was pleased with how they were committed to getting the job done even when prior work performed by a third party company was incomplete. They stayed at the job site until the third party returned to fully complete the previous work. What started out as a postponement of work due to the aforementioned incompleteness, ended in a completion of the project as scheduled!!!! They were polite, friendly and fully explained, both the work to be performed and the potential complications from this structural project. Yes, I would recommend and would use them again for any future structural issues.

The team that showed up to do the work were courteous and professional. Nate Griffin was the team leader and was very knowledgeable and explained the system in words I could understand.

We had the crawlspace encapsulated and a dehumidifier installed a few months ago. The crew did a great job. Very neat, and very professional. Today Joel came out to answer a question I had about the dehumidifier. He answered my question, AND did a full reinspection of the space and equipment, just to make sure everything was right! Like everyone else we've worked with at Groundworks, Joel was very professional, and friendly. He communicated his plan for the visit, and went over the results. Overall, a great experience!

Cameron and Mekhi did a great job of installing a crawl drain and sump pump. They arrived on time, worked diligently, and completed the job sooner than was expected. All the while they answered my questions and provided a complete walk (crawl) through at the end. They were courteous and tried very hard to be sure I was pleased with the work. Excellent work by both of them!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had multiple companies assess my sagging floor issues, and Jay Yount from Tar Heel Basements was the only one who took the time to truly understand the problem. He spent hours carefully measuring and evaluating my situation, providing a thorough, pressure-free assessment based on facts—not sales tactics. His professionalism, knowledge, and honesty set him apart from everyone else. If you’re looking for someone who knows their craft and puts the customer first, ask for Jay by name. Tar Heel Basements is lucky to have him

From the time I called to request an initial revie, until the work was completed, this process was professional and convenient. Zack came and crawled around in the very tight crawl space during the initial examination and then scoped the work and cost same day with me. John C and Brian C were the service representatives performing the installation of the membrane and foam board over a two day process. These guys worked so hard and kept me informed on status the whole way. I gave 5 stars because I've had lots of service jobs performed at my home and this team and the work done exceeded my expectations.
