Why does concrete sink in NE?

As good as concrete is for outdoor walkways, driveways, patios, an even warehouse flooring, it has two characteristics that  lead to problems for property owners: weight and stiffness. If the soil beneath a concrete slab is not sufficiently dense or strong, the slab’s weight will push down on the soil, causing the slab to sink below its proper level. This uneven "concrete settlement" often happens when the soil is weak to begin with or there is high clay content in the soil. As any Nebraska gardener knows, clay absorbs moisture. All soils contain some clay and the Nebraska state soil, Holdrege, is made up of silty clay loam at the subsoil level. While the clay content in soil expands with ground moisture, it shrinks when the moisture dries up during dry, hot dry spells, leaving voids under your concrete. If your concrete slabs are well-supported in one area but not in another, concrete’s inability to flex can cause the slab to crack – sinking in one area while remaining stable in another. That's why it's important to address the problem with underlying soils when undertaking a concrete repair project.

Three common causes of sunken or settled concrete:

• Weak soils. Fill soil and soil with high organic content is easily compressed by weight from above.
• Washouts. Flooding and heavy rain can erode soil beneath a concrete slab, leaving all or part of the slab unsupported.
• Shrinking clay soil. Soil with high clay content can shrink significantly during dry weather, sometimes causing a concrete slab to sink.

What concrete problems does PolyLevel fix?

Residential concrete is an ideal material for walkways in and around your Nebraska home and for outdoor living spaces, like sunrooms and porches. When that concrete settles or cracks, it stops serving its purpose and may become unsafe. Cracked, uneven concrete is also unattractive, detracting from the beauty and value of your home. Homeowners in Nebraska seek out PolyLevel, looking for the best method for sidewalk raising, lifting concrete slabs back to their original position, and addressing the first signs of concrete settlement in their driveway, pool deck or interior concrete flooring.

PolyLevel is a fast, effective concrete repair solution for lifting and leveling concrete slabs all around the home:

• Driveways and garage aprons
• Sidewalks and walkways
• Concrete steps or stoops
• Concrete patio and porch areas
• Pool decks and sunrooms
• Basement concrete slabs

How to Choose a Concrete Repair Company in Nebraska

In addition to looking for a Nebraska concrete repair company who serves your town or region, you want to know that they understand the causes for failing concrete and have concrete repair solutions that are effective, long-term, and affordable.

A Concrete Solution You Can Trust

PolyLevel is a two-part expanding foam solution effective in many concrete lifting applications, in both residential and commercial settings. Concrete repair alternatives to PolyLevel include complete concrete replacement and “mud jacking,” an industrial application that uses a thick cement slurry to fill in the gap underneath sunken concrete. Both of these techniques are excessive when fixing a set of stairs that has pulled away from the home, or raising a patio concrete slab back to its original level. These alternative methods are disruptive, time-consuming, costly, and don’t address the soil-related issues that cause concrete settlement. Using foam to raise sunken concrete is the best solution for many concrete problems because it is fast, effective, less disruptive to property, and affordable. In addition, PolyLevel is a less intrusive process for lifting concrete that doesn't add more weight to the problem.

A Contractor You Can Trust

Your local Nebraska PolyLevel contractor is an independent company supported by a national concrete repair network. In addition to reading reviews, check out past work by your local concrete contractor. A before-and-after picture showing the results of lifting and leveling an uneven concrete slab is worth 1,000 words!

The final step in searching for a contractor who can fix your home’s sunken or cracked concrete is to get an idea of the cost involved in fixing your concrete. After inspecting your sunken concrete, your local contractor should be able to propose a solution and provide a written estimate for repair costs.
