7 Reasons to Fix your Settling Concrete

When concrete settles, it eventually become uneven and crack. Below are seven reasons to fix your settling pool deck, driveway, sidewalk, and other concrete slabs.

1. Deterioration

The problem will only get worse over time. The cost of the solution will only increase the worse that the problem gets.

2. Resale Value

When your driveway is cracked, sunken, and unsightly, the resale value of your home will decrease significantly. Restoring your settling concrete will restore the value of your home.

3. Appearance

Uneven concrete is unsightly. Cracks in the slab are ugly, but any structure resting on the slab is at risk for cracks also.

4. Safety

Uneven concrete often causes people to trip or even fall. You don’t want your family and friends at risk for injury.

5. Water Intrusions

Depending on the severity of the settling concrete, water can enter your home and cause damage.

6. Pooling Water

As the concrete settles, it allows water to pool. As temperatures drop, the water freezes, causing more cracks and safety concerns.

7. Structural Damage

When the concrete slab settles, the structure above the slab also settles. This can cause doors to stick, drywall cracks, and other structural damages.
