Services
SlabJacking
SlabJacking restores settled concrete surfaces by injecting grout beneath slabs. This cost-effective alternative to replacement addresses driveways, sidewalks, and patios. Our process minimizes disruption while achieving 50-90% savings compared to new concrete. Lasting results depend on proper drainage maintenance by property owners.
Basement Wall Repair
Our steel I-beam system straightens and reinforces cracked or bowing basement walls. Custom-fitted beams anchor from floor joists to concrete floors, preventing future movement. This permanent solution includes exterior excavation when needed and carries a 25-year transferrable warranty for structural integrity.
Concrete Leveling
Precision leveling services address sunken concrete in residential and commercial properties. Using specialized equipment, we lift slabs to original grades within hours. Services include patching drill holes and maintaining aesthetic consistency with existing concrete surfaces.
