Foam Concrete Lifting a Sunken Garage Floor

Sometimes, it is barely noticeable that over time your concrete slab in your garage starts to shift and settle. Then one day, you look at the steps leading out into your garage and realize … this is really bad! That is why we offer foam concrete lifting, to return your garage slab to its original, level, position.

In this, one of our most recent foam concrete lifting projects, we came to the rescue of a seriously sunken garage slab. There were some significant hazards associated with this sinking concrete. The first you will see is that the platform for the garage steps was sloping. It dropped down from the exit from the house into the garage. This poses a major trip and fall threat for those coming out into the garage, or vise versa. As you can see in our video below:

What are the Dangers of a Sunken Garage Slab?

In addition to the potential trip and fall hazards, you could be looking at other issues as well when you have a sunken garage slab:

If your slab is sinking at different rates in different areas, this could lead to large cracks, and increased injury hazard throughout your garage.
You could incur serious damage to the undercarriage of your vehicle (especially if it is lower profile) or your bumper.
A badly settled concrete slab can affect the value of your home, and make it less attractive to potential buyers if you are considering selling your home.
The longer repairs are put off, the worse the damage will get, leading to the potential for replacement.

Your garage is where you house your vehicles, store items, and even use as your workshop. It is an important part of your home, and that is why you should consider getting a free estimate and inspection by the professionals at Foam All Spray Foam.

How Do I Know if Cracks are Cosmetic or Serious? (Do I Need Foam Concrete Lifting?)

As we mentioned above, one concern with concrete slabs is when the settlement occurs at different rates, causing cracks to form. If these cracks are under 1/8 inch, they are most likely ok for the moment. Another consideration is how quickly your garage slab cracks grow. Once you have noticed cracks in your garage, it is a good idea to keep an eye on them to see the rate with which they grow or widen. If they become larger or wider quickly, it is a good idea to speak to a concrete repair professional.

If you have cracks, and are not sure of how bad the damage or settlement is, that is where Foam All comes in. Contact us today to get started with an inspection and free estimate.

The crew is very professional. They did a crawl space under the house and a 40x60 pole barn. Communication was great, on time, discussed any needed information, and did a great job. Thank you too to Melissa, the office manager who sent out the invoice. It was easy to pay directly from the invoice.

Driveway Leveling that Went Above and Beyond

Foam All is such a great company. With it being winter, I contacted them to give me an estimate on my driveway to be lifted. They went above and beyond and worked me into the schedule and got it done the same day. Thanks for your time and I will be referring more people your way. The driveway looks amazing and the employees you sent to do the installation were very professional and made my property look better than they found it.

Fast, Professional Concrete Leveling

They were hired to raise my concrete. I had 7 areas in need of repair. The sidewalk where my AC unit was sitting had sunk 7 in. And was very concerned about the unit. They were GREAT. They leveled out the sidewalk plus leveled out all other areas as well. They were quick, professional, and did a wonderful job. I am very impressed. They will be back next year to spray foam my pole barn workshop.
