Underseal concrete

Everything about home improvement

Concrete under-sealing is not unlike slab-jacking, in that it involves pumping material underneath a concrete slab to achieve a similar goal. The difference is, where slab-jacking is used to lift a sinking slab, under-sealing is used to fill in pits and cracks on the bottom of the slab that have been eroded away.

Have you ever thought of what it must be like to be a concrete slab? Probably not, but think about it for a minute. Thousands of people walking on you every year, sitting out in the hot sun, and beneath freezing snow, people pulling heavy objects over you, it’s really quite a task to hold that much weight all the time. With this type of punishment being dealt out so often, it’s not surprising that damage will run deep and serious with a little age. Very often, you’ll see pits and fissures form, not only on the surface, but on the underside as well.

There are a few options for this. You can tear out the concrete and replace it all, hope that its not too serious and just do surface work, or under-seal it. Under-sealing it will be less costly, and less time consuming, and once the process is finished, you can do any surface work you wish, usually conveniently by the same people. It won’t interrupt the area for a couple weeks as replacing the slab might. Also, if serious surface work is also needed, then you won’t have to worry about adding lots of new weight and sinking the slab further, as you’ve already reliably lifted it.
