The problem
A poured concrete slab is only as stable as the soil beneath it. Coastal Georgia’s expansive clays and loose sandy fill swell and shrink with moisture, leaving voids that let the slab crack and sink. We lift settled slabs back toward level and stabilize the soil so the movement stops.
Warning signs to watch for
- Cracks in the slab, tile or interior drywall
- Floors that slope noticeably toward one area
- Gaps opening at the base of walls or door frames
- Doors and windows that no longer latch
- Separation between the slab and exterior brick
Our repair method
Depending on conditions we install steel push piers or helical piers beneath the footing, then use polyurethane foam injection to fill voids and raise the slab. The combination supports the load on stable strata and removes the empty space that allowed settling.
Why it matters
Slab cracks rarely stay small. They open paths for water and pests and signal soil failure that will worsen. Correcting it now is far cheaper than rebuilding finishes, plumbing and flooring later.
