Parkland Concrete

Most surfaces are placed on soil, which can gradually compress over time. When the soil underneath shifts and sinks, the concrete can follow suit. As the concrete settles unevenly, it can crack and become unstable.

During construction, the ground below the concrete needs to be compacted to make sure it's firm and level. Sometimes, proper preparation doesn't happen, leading to an uneven subbase that makes the surface uneven.

Water can seep beneath the surface and escape, causing the soil beneath it to shift and wash away. Erosion or soil migration may create empty areas beneath the concrete, causing it to sink or shift underfoot.

Trees consume water and nutrients from the soils supporting your surface. As tree roots grow, they can heave or push upward on the surface, leading to cracks, disturbances, and uneven surfaces.

Heavy weight loads such as machinery or vehicles, especially in areas that weren't designed for such weight loads, can lead to surfaces sinking or becoming unlevel.

Uneven surfaces can cause serious trip and fall accidents, particularly for the elderly and disabled people or those with reduced mobility. A trip or slip accident can occur when the height difference between the uneven slabs is too high, or when cracks and potholes aren't properly filled. Besides suffering injuries, slips and falls can result in legal consequences in public areas. Our company provides onsite inspections and leveling services to any structures presenting such safety hazards.

Uneven slabs can also cause significant damage to vehicles and equipment used in areas with concrete flooring. If the vehicle passes over a significant ledge, it can cause a sprained ankle to anyone inside the car and even damage tires. Additionally, uneven surfaces can cause mechanical damage to cars, especially if they're speed bumps or car stops. To avoid these damages to vehicles and equipment, customers can rely on our company’s services to level the surface in parking lots, garages, and access lanes.

An uneven surface can lead to water drainage problems, particularly when the area is prone to rain, snow, or accumulation of water. Water can get trapped in the low spots of the concrete, leading to cracks or potholes as the water freezes and expands. These potholes devalue the property, causing flooding or water damage to buildings or equipment. To avoid this, our company uses high-quality leveling solutions to level the affected areas, ensuring water drainage functions correctly.

The last danger of uneven concrete is structural damage to buildings. The soil underneath the concrete paving can shift and sink due to prolonged water exposure or other external factors such as earthquakes. This shift can lead to structural stress on the building, damaging the foundation, floors, and walls, and causing severe structural damage. Our company provides an array of solutions such as polyurethane foam injection leveling or mudjacking to prevent any structural damage caused by moving soil.
