Most customers know that A-1 Concrete Leveling uses its
patented equipment to raise sunken concrete but did you know that concrete can
be stabilized before significant settling occurs? Over time the sub-base below the concrete
become eroded due to compaction and drainage in conjunction with the freeze-thaw
cycle.
Those that have purchased new concrete over the last few
years know that the cost of concrete can practically match the cost of a new
car. Would you throw out your car if it needed maintenance? Do you perform
preventative maintenance to your car prior to it having an issue? Do you have
money to throw away?
A-1 Concrete Leveling’s system uses the counterweight of
the concrete, in conjunction with its tensile strength, pushes against the ground
trying to find solid ground to support the weight of the concrete. By doing so
the concrete is not entirely resting on solid ground and is supported by an unstable
soil surface which will increasingly be an unsuitable base for the concrete.
This will result in cracking, movement, sinking, further instability and
increased speed of deterioration. This deteriorating situation can be stopped
or reversed by pressure injecting our limestone-based slurry below the concrete
through 1” in diameter holes; the sub-base is thereby re-established and the
life of the concrete is effectively extended.
The fact is the smart money move is on saving the
existing concrete before it costs really big money to replace! This is
especially true for our corporate, industrial and municipal customers where
“downtime” is more costly than just the cost of replacement. Pressurizing soil
and voids below the concrete is preventative maintenance just like changing the
oil or brake pads on your car; it makes financial sense and cents. Extend the
life of your concrete with concrete leveling! We look forward to working with
you soon.
