Slab foundations crack, settle and heave. We repair the slab, stabilize what is under it and fix the water that caused the trouble.
A slab-on-grade house sits on a single concrete pad with no basement or crawl space beneath it. That is simple and strong, but it means problems show up in the floor itself. Cracks in tile, gaps at the base of walls, doors that stick and floors that feel slightly sloped can all point to a slab that has settled or heaved. Because the slab is hidden under flooring, it deserves a careful look.
We map the floor with a level, look at the exterior footing and walls, check drainage along the slab edge and note any plumbing or soil clues. Minor cracks are sealed. A slab that has dropped can be raised with injected foam or grout, and a slab that is moving along its edge may need piers that carry the footing to firm soil. The right fix depends on the cause, and we explain it before any work starts.
We take readings across the floor to see where the slab is high and low, which shows how it moved and by how much.
Sealing cracks stops moisture and pests from entering and keeps small cracks from turning into trim and flooring problems.
Polyurethane foam or grout injected below the slab fills voids and lifts it, often from small holes.
When the footing at the edge sinks, piers carry it to stable soil so the slab can be brought back to a steady position.

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.
Shrinkage, soil movement, plumbing leaks and drainage problems can all crack a slab.
Yes. Foam or grout under the slab lifts it from small holes.
Only when the footing at the edge is settling. Many slabs need sealing or lifting alone.
Yes. Cracked tile and gaps at baseboards often show slab movement before anything else does.
Keep water moving away from the edges and fix leaks early. The drainage tool can help.
