Resale Value Of Your Home Today's homebuyer doesn't typically want to purchase a home with an unleveled driveway and front walkway, a stoop pulling away from the house, or floors that are cracked and sinking. First impression does make a difference in some cases. Also, be prepared for this to be a "bargaining chip" in the price offer.  Settled Front Walk 3. Appearance Concrete slabs with large voids or settled and uneven do not look safe. 4. Safety Settled or unlevel concrete is unsafe. As a homeowner or landlord, this is incredibly dangerous and open you up to unwanted liability.  5. Water Intrusion
Cracks are exposed to the surrounding environment and when cracks let in water, damage can worsen. 6. Pooling Water Unlevel concrete will encourage low spots where standing water will pool. In cooler months, these pools can freeze, which causes more safety concerns and further damage. 7. Structural Damage Shifting concrete on a ground level can affect the structures above the slab. As a result, doors and windows will start to stick and other structural damages throughout your home may occur. Load bearing walls should be watched closely. If the problem is left too long, cost of repair will increase significantly. For Further Info: Contact Us Today 770-558-5862 [email protected]

I totally agree that the problems always gets worse. A few years ago my wife and I noticed a crack starting in our concrete sidewalk. Being new homeowners on a budget, we thought it couldn't get worse and decided not to do anything. Well, a couple months later, we had a friend over who happens to work for a <a href="https://mudjacking-omaha.com/">slab jacking</a> company. He noticed it and told us we should get it checked out right away before it gets much worse. Well, thankfully we did and now we have crack-free sidewalks. Hopefully your article helps others like me! 8/10/2020 02:26:50 pm
