Why replace that sunken concrete slab if you can lift it?

The Concrete Lifting Technology is one of the cost-effective ways to successfully repair and raise concrete slabs back to their original state, level, or height. For a couple of years now this method has been utilized to lift sunken or tilted slabs along residential and industrial places such as driveways, airport runways, sidewalks, floors, walls, pool decks, etc. This process involves drilling holes through the skewed concrete which is most of the time 2 inches in diameter and uses either grout or a polyurethane compound to raise the sunken slabs. Under pressure, the grout or the polyurethane compound is then forced or pumped in to the hole and right after the sunken slab has been hauled up a quick drying cement patch is used to seal the drilled holes.

Today, concrete-made houses and buildings are just about everywhere, from the home floors and walls down to the highway roads up to the beautiful structures built around the city. Obviously it is because concrete itself is a sturdy and a dependable material used in construction. No matter where you go, whether in small and large cities or even in remote places you will realize that most of the things that the naked eyes could see are made of concrete. But in spite of the toughness and reliability of this material, due to drastic weather changes and some other factors, as time goes by, concrete will still wear down. That is why a sunken concrete slabs can be found anywhere and this is when the technology on concrete lifting is applied.
