Things to look for when a slab needs to be replaced and how to prevent concrete replacement

We want you to save time, money, and just the overall headache that goes along with slab replacement.  Go through these steps below if you are noticing or if your concrete is experiencing any of these situations. 

Tree Roots Lifting the Concrete

Tree roots are notorious for damaging and raising concrete to the point of the best solution is removal and replacement. Identifying a tree root lifting or heaving a slab right away, you can effectively stop additional movement. By excavating down along the slab you can clear out the tree roots and install root barriers that will block and divert tree roots from being able to grow and expand under your existing concrete.

Voids Under the Slab

Allowing the slab to be unsupported will result in the slab to crack. How severely and at what rate will be dictated on how well the concrete is reinforced, the strength of the concrete, and how large the void or unsupported area is. Filling voids and densifying soils can help to prevent concrete removal and replacement.

Excessive Weight Near a Crack

Concrete is designed to withstand or support a certain load. This design can be compromised by introducing an excessive load to the concrete. We see these situations a lot in warehouses where large machines and equipments are put and left for a long period of time. The slab and more importantnly the soils below the slab were not designed to sustain that type of load for the extended period of time that is being asked of it. If you are noticing cracks around were heavy objects are place, you should look at moving them or look at making sure the concrete is designed to structurally support the required loads.
