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:

  1. The problem will worsen over time and cost much more to fix.
  2. Your property’s resale value will decrease with every crack and sag.
  3. Unlevel concrete can cause cracks in weak spots around your property, inside and outside your home.
  4. Uneven surfaces like sidewalks and patios pose severe safety risks, causing unwanted liability.
  5. Cracks in slabs or bricks lead to water intrusion, causing flooding, high humidity, and mold growth.
  6. Pooling water that collects in driveways or patios creates patches of ice in the winter, posing another safety risk.
  7. 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!

This company is excellent! Matt was our estimator and he was very professional and just a really nice guy! He explains Layne’s everything in detail and had our work scheduled to be completed within a week of the estimate. The workers who came to do the work, explained everything they were doing and did a phenomenal job! They too were very nice! They raised some areas on the driveway and sidewalk! We would definitely hire this company again!

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

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!

Tar Heel basement systems goes over and beyond their obligations to satisfy their customers even several years past. They came out and retaped some of the seams in the vapor barrier and cleaned the barrier where some water had pooled. I highly recommend them and their service technician (Jacob ) went over and beyond his duties to satisfy me as a customer. He readjusted my dehumidifier to the proper settings. Get them to help you! You won’t regret it! Superior service!

Jay Yount was great salesperson and Ceritified Field Inspector. Foreman David P and crew mates Ernesto "Nestor" and James C were knowledgeable and efficient, arrived on time and got the job done in two days. Results of the floor stabilization were communicated to me clearly before, during and after the work was performed. All my expectations were at least met. Would definitely recommend Tar Heel to friends and family.

Tar Heel Basement Systems helped me after damage from Hurricane Helene. They showed up when scheduled, on time each day and finished when they promised they would. They were extremely professional and communicated with me throughout the entire project. I am very happy with the service and the quality of the work.

Ian, Justin and Tanner got my extremely disgusting crawlspace in good order in only three days! I have worked with many contractors in Wilmington over the years–here's what made this experience remarkable: they showed up every day and worked all day, and they were very friendly and communicative throughout. The date I was given for this back in October was the date they showed up. No delays, and once they started, they saw it through to the end. I'm very happy with tarheel basement systems and I'm glad I chose them.

I highly recommend Tarheel Basements…I live out of state and purchased a 105 year old house that needed foundation work and crawlspace encapsulation. Dave Brerecton was my first contact and guided me through the entire project. He was fantastic to work with. Between Dave, Billy NoyolaCisneros, and Adam Canter and their amazing crews, I now have a house that will last another 100 years. Professional, knowledgeable, trustworthy, tidy, and just plain good people is how I would describe them all. Thank you for a job well done! P. Guyer Georgia

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.

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

Absolutely a great experience and totally seamless. From inspection, to customer contact and scheduling, to installation, all from a top rated professional team. My installers, Mike J and Aaron F., could not have been more friendly and kept me informed everyday of arrival times and work completed for that day. They answered any questions I had and provided additional information I hadn't even thought of. All work was completed with clean up on time as scheduled. Thank you TarHeel Basements team for your A-1 service!

The the professional manner in which every part of the team approached the job at hand was far above my expectations. The Foreman, Shane English introduced his team Evan Boswell and Jaziah Christ to me. They were courteous, hard working, kept the job site clean and organized. 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.
