Is your house or building starting to look a little worse for wear on the outside? Or perhaps you’ve noticed from afar that it’s beginning to look a little lower than it should be? Your foundation may be compromised, and the building may be settling into the ground.

While this is certainly cause for concern, it is not causing for alarm – more than likely, your building isn’t going to fall over tomorrow! Here at Raise + Relevel, we can help,  using our slab jacking technology to raise and re-level an uneven or subsided building. Using this technique of concrete levelling will save you money, and time and ensure that your home or building remains intact for years to come.

Slab jacking addresses a range of issues, from minor foundational shifts to significant structural subsidence. It ensures long-lasting results due to the durable materials used, providing peace of mind for property owners.

One of the main things that concrete slab jacking achieves is that it restores subsided structures back to level. Slab jacking is the most convenient concrete levelling solution. We use an expanding resin to improve the strength and bearing capacity of the foundations. As such, the structural polyurethane resin sets in seconds and gives us a high level of control over this structure with lift and areas that are being treated, rather than traditional concrete underpinning, which can take days. Slab jacking in this fashion can be compared with keyhole surgery, a quick and relatively easy method of re-levelling your concrete footing.

There are several key signs to look for when inspecting your foundation. For instance, if you start seeing cracked walls – that’s a big sign that something is wrong with your foundation. Another thing to look out for is uneven flooring on the ground floor. You can also perform a visual inspection of your crawlspace to ensure that there’s no excessive moisture or separated piers.

If you notice sinking concrete slabs or uneven concrete, it could indicate deeper structural issues requiring immediate attention. Also, check your doorways and windows to see if they’re jamming. Jammed doors and windows are another tell-tale sign that something is wrong with your foundation – your doorways should not be crooked! Remember, it’s important that you have timely intervention to maintain the structural integrity and bearing capacity of your property.

One of the many reasons homeowners turn to slab jacking is that it’s a more cost-effective way to re-level your home. With decades of professional experience, we’ll work with the existing footings, thereby greatly reducing your cost, by using expanding resin to return the existing slab back into its original position. Because we’re working with the original concrete slab – this means we don’t have to pour a new one, nor spend the labour getting the old one out of the way.

Also, because we use such precise technology, we don’t need to disturb any of the original landscaping around the property – no need to tear up your lawn with big, heavy equipment – our resin pumping rig can fit in a driveway just fine! We use a portable pump to inject the resin into the holes we drill, so the process is as minimally invasive as possible.

For heritage listed buildings, public buildings, and other critical infrastructure, slab jacking offers minimal disruption while effectively addressing sunken concrete, cracked concrete, and foundations subsiding. This advanced technique is ideal for driveway relevelling, raising and relevelling structures, ground improvement, and void filling. Additionally, injection waterproofing and resin injection help in sealing water leaks and strengthen weak soil beneath structures.
