​Slab Repair

Concrete is a solid sponge. Although it is resistant to moisture, it will absorb any liquid that it comes into contact with. This is why it stains so easily. Concrete is composed of cement, ash and water. It doesn’t conduct heat well, which means that it is relatively impervious to temperature fluctuations. With all of its benefits, concrete is still susceptible to tree roots and gradual wear and tear. Concrete is ideal for construction applications because it gets harder over time and it’s inexpensive. Even with all its advantages, it will still fail. If you experience concrete failure, contact Irving Foundation Repair for slab repair.

Causes of Concrete Failure

There are many causes of concrete failure. That large oak tree in your front yard may have been in your family for over 30 years but it’s roots can wreak havoc on your sidewalk, pier and beam foundation, walkways and porch. Tree roots are so strong that they can apply so much pressure to concrete that it will eventually buckle or be shifted out of the way completely. If concrete is not poured on top of a reinforced sub base, it is not safe from settling and cracking. When concrete settles it doesn’t always settle evenly. This is where our clients experience problems. Copious amounts of rain and flooding also contribute to concrete failure.

Benefits of Professional Slab Repair
