Spring is here and that means the perfect time to check for cracked or sinking concrete around your home and pool deck. Joining us with more on why this is so important is Wes Woodin a Certified Field Inspector with Dry Pro. “The concrete around your North Carolina home is extremely vulnerable to wear and tear over a long period of time” says Woodin. He adds “ some common enemies of cracked concrete are Poorly Compacted Fill Soil, Drying And Shrinking Of Soil and Washout of Soil Under the Slab.” Whether from constant exposure to the elements or the soil underneath causing problems, concrete isn’t as durable as one might think. Since the material itself is porous, to begin with, the tiny holes throughout lead to water being able to get in and cause cracks and other damage. When the soil underneath the slabs erodes or shifts, this will cause the voids underneath the concrete and lead to settlement and unevenness.
"We know that cracked or uneven concrete can be dangerous as well as unsightly" says Woodin. Damaged concrete can also lower the value of your home if you go to sell in the future. Any cracks, voids, sinking, or uneven concrete slabs can present a safety hazard for your family and cause damage to your vehicle if parked in the driveway. When it comes to repairing and restoring your concrete, look no further than our PolyRenewal™ foam injections. This minimally invasive and cost-effective repair solution can adequately lift and stabilize your concrete within the same day as injected. Older, and more invasive methods of concrete repair such as mudjacking and slab jacking don’t solve the problem at hand which is usually the soil it lies upon. These repairs are not only extremely invasive but also costly and temporary. PolyRenewal™ is a lightweight, but exceptionally durable and waterproof foam that is injected underneath the slab. It cures in about 15 minutes so that normal traffic can resume on your concrete. PolyRenewal™ can be used to lift and stabilize concrete porch steps, sidewalks, driveways, pool decks, garage floors, and more! Whatever the damage, it’s important to repair it as soon as possible to prevent dangerous tripping hazards, structural, or vehicle damage. Fortunately, at Dry Pro, we offer a proven solution to lift and stabilize your concrete back to normal. For more information visit https://www.dryprosystems.com/.
