Voids under concrete slabs happen when the soils wash away from under the slab. Your concrete can appear to be in great condition from the surface, but when there’s a void underneath, it no longer has structural integrity.
Soils washing out from under slabs could cause the concrete to crack, sink, tip, or pull away. Concrete steps with voids underneath can also sink, become off level, as well as break.
Concrete with voids can be a pain, but who wants to undergo a whole driveway, patio, or concrete step replacement. Luckily, True Level Concrete has a faster, more affordable, and effective solution for concrete with voids.
Voids forming under walkways, patios, driveways, and steps is a major issue for homeowners in Vancouver, Greater Vancouver, and Vancouver Island.
Why does it happen? Weak soils mixed with changing weather can expand, shrink, and shift the ground supporting your home and concrete slabs. Therefore, this results in unstable and washing away of the soils beneath the surface and the concrete begins to settle and shift. As the concrete settles, it sinks into the weak soils, or into the voids, causing it to crack, tip, dip, and slide away.
What starts as a void under concrete slab, could result in more damage over time. Broken and uneven concrete can devalue your home and affect your quality of life. However, replacing your concrete is not your only option. True Level Concrete are BC’s experts in concrete repair and restoration.
