Understanding Sinking Concrete.

Concrete relys on properly compacted soil beneath for support. When the supporting soil shifts, settles, erodes, or loses strength, voids can develop beneath the concrete. Without adequate support, the concrete may begin to settle into these empty spaces, resulting in uneven or sunken concrete surfaces.

Homeowners often notice sections of concrete becoming uneven, pooling water after rainfall, or creating height differences between adjoining slabs. Understanding why the slab is sinking is the first step toward selecting the appropriate repair solution.
