Concrete jacking/repair

longgunnewb · Sep 4, 2017

Does anyone on here do concrete jacking? The steps leading to our house have settled and dropped about 3" on one side and broken away from the main landing.

Worst case scenario I have to have the concrete broken up and repoured but I would prefer to just have it lifted back into place.

I have heard that this company's service actually works. I have not actually seen the results of any of their work.

I just had these guys https://www.stabilsolutions.com come out to raise some concrete for me. I believe it was the owner that came out, and he did a good job for a decent price. Supposedly 50-70% cheaper than replacement.

I had concretejack.com do a complex lift of our patio. They used foam instead of a concrete slurry. The advantages of that are that the holes that they drill at 5/8 in. instead of 1 3/4 in. hole for injection. The foam also waterproofs. They're a great company and their compressors are awesome.

We used these guys to lift our carport: https://www.jeswork.com/concrete-lifting/. They used foam and it's a lifetime guarantee. They did a great job and it was cheaper than standard slab jacking with concrete.

I had a concrete slab patio lifted with foam. I'd recommend the company but the mileage charges would be hell.

The most important thing in this situation is to ensure you have eliminated the cause of the problem. In my case, water was getting under the patio and undermining its dirt foundation (slab on grate) . Gutters, a downspout sent to sewer, and a 4" drain trough sent to sewer eliminated the cause of the problem for me. The sunken patio was just a symptom.

Bumping this to see if anyone has anything to add.
I’m looking at a couple of issues at my house that need to be addressed.

My neighbor paid for someone to raise a section of his. Cost him about $1k, and they were only able to raise it about halfway back to where it was originally. It was a ~10x10 area, and it had to move about 8" on one side. Better results for roughly the same money could have been achieved by pouring new, IMHO.

Would prob cost about double that maybe 2500 new. You have to remove and dispose of the old concrete which adds a good 5-800 bucks for that.

So I'm actually looking to get similar thing done. This slab is sinking, causing flooding in the basement and damaging the overhang.

I regret not having it taken out when I got the driveway done.

I'm looking for someone who could do this but I know it's such a small job most concrete companies won't do it.

I used Stabil Solutions ( Mike Darling) phone number 443-951-1070 they did a good job and were timely.

I’ve known Mike for 35 years. He is very contentious about his work. I would strongly recommend him.
