Concrete Slab Foundation Repair in Madison, IN

The process of concrete slab foundation repair in Madison, IN, involves several key steps designed to address and resolve issues with your foundation. Here’s a detailed overview of how the repair process works:

1. Inspection and Assessment
   Our team begins with a comprehensive inspection of your concrete slab foundation to identify any signs of damage, such as:
   • Cracks: Visible cracks in the slab surface or along the foundation walls.
   • Uneven Floors: Areas of the floor that are noticeably sloped or uneven.
   • Doors and Windows: Sticking doors and windows that indicate foundation movement.
2. We assess the extent of the damage and determine the underlying causes, which may include soil settlement, moisture issues, or construction flaws.
3. Diagnosis
   Based on the inspection, we diagnose the specific issues affecting your concrete slab foundation. Common problems include:
   • Soil Settlement: Compaction or erosion of the soil beneath the slab, leading to uneven support.
   • Hydrostatic Pressure: Accumulation of water in the soil around the foundation, exerting pressure on the slab.
   • Poor Drainage: Inadequate drainage systems that cause water to pool around the foundation.
4. Repair Techniques
   Depending on the diagnosis, we use various repair methods to address the issues:
   • Slab Jacking (Mudjacking): This involves injecting a mixture of cement and other materials beneath the slab to lift and level it.
   • Polyurethane Foam Injection: A more modern method where foam is injected beneath the slab to raise and stabilize it.
   • Crack Repair: Filling and sealing cracks with epoxy or polyurethane to prevent further damage and water infiltration.
5. Post-Repair Assessment
   After the repair work is completed, we conduct a final inspection to ensure that the concrete slab foundation is properly restored and that all issues have been addressed.
