Is Your Sidewalk a Safety Concern for Trick or Treaters?

Tuesday, October 25th, 2016

Did you know your sinking slab is a liability risk for your property? Having a tripping hazard with a sinking slab is a big problem! Homeowners need to have this problem fixed before they or someone gets hurt. With the Halloween holiday just around the corner, many families will be participating in the festivities of walking door to door for sweet treats!

Tar Heel Basement Systems is able to give immediate help and take away your worry, using the unique PolyRenewal™ method. Don’t replace it, RAISE it!

Traditional fixes such as total concrete replacement can take days, even weeks to complete, depending on weather, how large the area is, and time for the fresh concrete to cure. Not to mention, total concrete replacement creates an extensive disturbance to your property’s landscape.

Another traditional fix called, mudjacking may not cause a large disturbance to your property like a total concrete replacement, it is still a lengthy process to complete. The heavy concrete slurry is injected below your slab through large (2) two-inch holes. Just like fresh concrete, the slurry can take days to dry leaving you unable to use your driveway, sidewalk, or porch for a while.

There are a few things the traditional fixes have in common: No warranty provided and both solutions do not address the real cause of the problem, improper soil beneath the slab. Lastly, these corrections take a very long time to install and dry.
