Why letting ConcreteMedic lift your sinking concrete is a better choice than replacing it in Omaha, NE.
The Concrete Problem
Picture this…you’ve recently purchased your Omaha dream home, and you’re looking forward to getting started on some planned renovations. You decide to replace the concrete sidewalk in front of your house. Unfortunately, after only six months or so, you notice that the concrete has sunken down into the soil. Concrete sinking and settling in Omaha is a common occurrence. Fortunately it’s not only possible, but better, to lift your sinking concrete instead of replacing it.
Concrete lifting by ConcreteMedic is more affordable than concrete replacement.
The idea that concrete replacement is the less expensive option (compared to repair and/or concrete lifting) has been perpetuated by some concrete installers. The truth, however, is that allowing ConcreteMedic to repair your sinking or damaged slab will generally cost you less than half of what you would pay for complete replacement!
Even better, ConcreteMedic can usually perform any concrete lifting project around Omaha in less than a day!
Concrete lifting is much less invasive than concrete replacement.
Concrete replacement is much more invasive than concrete lifting. Concrete replacement requires digging out and removing the old existing concrete, and replacing it with new concrete. This may mean digging up or damaging your lawn to allow access to the equipment needed to remove the old concrete. Once this is done, you now have a lawn that needs filled back in with dirt or sod, truly an eyesore.
Does this look like fun to you? And then you can’t drive on it for over a week once it’s done!
Why replace your Omaha driveway and deal with all the mess and waste of time when you can have ConcreteMedic simply lift your concrete back into its original position.
Soil settlement and water are common causes of sinking concrete.
Sinking concrete can be caused by any number of factors, including poor soil, shifting ground and/or water beneath the surface of the concrete. Soil settlement is a common cause of sinking concrete when the home is new. Whereas, at least around Omaha, we at ConcreteMedic find that water tends to be the main driver of homes over 7 years old.
Some Omaha homeowners will wait until their driveway or patio begins to sink significantly and even start to crack before they call in the professionals at ConcreteMedic to repair it. Are you unsure whether your driveway has sunken due to soil settlement or another problem? It’s important (and financially beneficial) that you deal with it sooner rather than later and waiting for further damage to occur.
