Sunken garage floors and uneven basement slabs are lifted and sealed, so water drains and equipment sits level.
Garage floors and basement slabs sink for the same reasons outdoor slabs do: soil settles, water washes it away or the original fill was never packed well. Inside, the effects are felt in different ways: puddles that will not drain toward the floor drain, a car that rolls toward one corner, a workbench that rocks and a basement floor that cracks and shifts.
We map the floor with a level, locate the voids and lift the slab from small holes. Because the work is inside, we protect finished areas and keep dust to a minimum. Cracks are sealed after lifting to stop moisture and radon from entering through them, and slopes are corrected so water goes to the drain. In a basement we also look at the source of any water, since lifting a floor does not stop leaks that come from the wall. Inside work calls for a little extra care, so we cover finished areas, keep the dust down and leave the space as clean as we found it. We also tell you what to expect during the cure, which is usually only a short wait before the floor can carry its normal load again.
A floor that slopes the wrong way holds water. Lifting restores a fall toward the drain or door.
Sunken basement floors are lifted and sealed, so finishing materials can go down flat.
Crack sealing blocks moisture and soil gases from entering through the slab.
We use small holes, small equipment and protective covers to keep the space clean.

You tell us what you have noticed, a crack, a damp smell, a sloping floor or standing water, and we set a visit that fits your day.
We look closely inside and out, measure floors and cracks, check moisture and drainage and take photos of anything of note.
We explain what is urgent, what can wait and what is optional, and give you a written scope and options.
We lay floor protection, mark utilities, protect landscaping and set up before any digging or drilling begins.
We install, seal, lift or repair with the right tools and materials, checking our work as we go.
We clean up, restore the surface, show you what we did, share care tips and set a reminder for your next check.
The slab may have sunk or tilted away from the drain. Lifting can restore the slope.
Yes, from small holes, with minimal dust.
No. Wall and joint leaks need their own repair. We check both.
Yes. A flat, sealed slab is a good base for flooring.
Small holes and protective covers keep it tidy.
