Is Ridgid SeeSnake the Best Tool Ever???

Ridgid SeeSnake Micro Inspection Camera has become one of the most useful tools we have ever purchased, making estimating a void size a definitive calculation. Whether used in a warehouse, raised patio or pool deck, being able to see to measure the void below the surface makes us more effective. What a great tool!

When to Replace...

So...you love the idea of concrete leveling...it is a great alternative to replacement, but is it right for your project?

Part of our complementary consultation is to assess your individual project and let you know when concrete leveling is an ideal option. It is also our responsibility to tell you when your money would be better spent on replacement.

Concrete leveling is not for you if:

• your slabs have extreme, significant cracks (shattered like a broken window pane)
• you want the concrete to be a different shape than it currently is
• you want to pay more for replacement (just a little concrete leveling humor based on a bit of truth!)

If we have visited you and told you that we think replacement is your best option, for any variety of reasons, one of the companies to whom we refer business is Emerald Services.

Ed Shanahan is the owner of Emerald Services and is very conscientious and dedicated to providing quality results. If you contracted with him for replacement, your decision would be sound.
