Murfreesboro Real Estate Tips- How To Lift A Sinking Concrete Slab
If you have a sinking concrete slab, you might think that there is nothing you can do about this, but you should think again because in this post, you will learn a cool little strategy to lift the slab back up, restoring it to it's original and upright position.
1. Use a saw with a 12 inch blade to cut a clot through the concrete slab to allow it to lift up.
2. Use a diamond tipped core drib bit to drill several large holes in the concrete slab
3. Drill a 12 inch deep hole through each core hole with a pneumatic hammer
4. Mix up water, sand, silt, and portland cement
5. Use a hydraulic cement pump to pump the concrete mix into the core drill holes
6. Continue pumping cement into core holes a little at a time as the slab rises.
7. After the slab is level, cement the concrete core plugs back in place flush with top of slab
8. Clean around the core holes with a sponge.
