Concrete Floor Repair

Your home is your safe haven, but it can quickly become dangerous if the concrete floor supporting your house starts showing signs of cracking and sinking. This is not just about aesthetics; the condition of your interior concrete floor can pose severe safety risks.

As the leader in concrete lifting solutions in Northern Ohio, homeowners trust us for personalized customer care and an effective concrete floor repair process. 

This page guides you through the signs of concrete problems, the benefits of repair, and why our solution is the best choice for your home and peace of mind. 

What is Concrete Floor Repair? 

Concrete floor repair involves restoring and reinforcing interior slab floors that have suffered cracks, sinking, or other damage. 

We do not recommend mudjacking, repouring, or DIY repairs like self-leveling concrete. These temporary solutions do not address the source of the problem, resulting in further damage and costly repairs. 

Modern techniques such as concrete lifting can address underlying issues like unstable soil or oversaturation. This involves injecting a lightweight polyurethane foam underneath the concrete to fill voids and raise the slab. 

This process isn’t just about the floor itself. At Ohio Basement Systems, concrete floor repair is part of our whole-home approach to solving foundation problems and creating a healthy home. 

If we determine that foundation problems caused your concrete floor damage, we recommend foundation repair solutions such as one of our foundation pier systems. Slab piers, in particular, are designed for homes with slab foundations. 

Signs Your Concrete Floor Needs Repair 

If you notice any of these signs on your concrete floors, repair is likely needed: 

• Visible concrete cracks 
• Sloping or sinking sections of the floor that appear uneven 
• Hollow sounds when tapping or walking on the floor 
• Pooling water or dampness in specific areas 
• Noticeable gaps between walls and the floor 

Understanding when you need concrete floor repair can make a significant difference in the longevity and safety of your home. Contact Ohio Basement Systems when you notice these or other problems. 

Is Concrete Floor Repair Necessary? 

Yes, repairing a cracked and uneven concrete floor is necessary. 

Delaying repairs worsens problems as underlying soil shifts and moisture seeps under the concrete. This can cause tripping hazards, continued cracking, and potential structural damage. 

Promptly repairing concrete floors and avoiding mudjacking and DIY solutions prevents further deterioration and saves money. 

Ohio Basement Systems’ innovative concrete lifting system stabilizes the underlying soil for a long-lasting solution. Our other solutions, such as slab piers, tackle foundation issues at the root cause. 

What Are the Benefits of Concrete Floor Repair? 

Repairing cracked, uneven concrete floors results in several benefits, including: 

Safer Living Environment 

Lifting and stabilizing sunken concrete eliminates trip hazards and creates a safer environment for everyone. Repairing your floors brings peace of mind. 

Restored Appearance 

Our concrete lifting process smooths out cracked and uneven floors, improving aesthetics. We restore the sleek look of your home or garage’s concrete. 

Enhanced Property Value
