Protect your investment in your home.

Are your home and basement floors showing signs of unevenness or settling? Have you observed cracks in the walls, separations around doorways and windows, or even fissures in the exterior foundation walls? If so, it may be time to consider lifting and levelling your basement floors.

As homes age, they naturally undergo sinking and settling processes, often evidenced by cracked and uneven basement floors. These irregularities can compromise the integrity of your home's foundation, leading to various issues, including cold, damp basements, water leaks through foundation cracks, difficulty operating windows and doors, and structural concerns such as wall cracks. Left unaddressed, a compromised foundation could jeopardize your entire home's stability.

As a homeowner, safeguarding your investment and maintaining the aesthetic appeal of your property is paramount. But how can you effectively lift and level your basement floors while preventing further settling? Our polyurethane concrete levelling process offers a reliable solution, efficiently restoring your basement floors to their original level and enhancing the stability of your home.

Our concrete levelling technique is swift, requires no cumbersome equipment, and boasts eco-friendly attributes ideal for basement applications. Polyurethane concrete lifting is highly effective and cost-efficient, typically amounting to less than half the expense of replacing the basement floor slab. We begin by drilling small holes in the slab surface, through which polyurethane foam is injected. This foam fills voids beneath the slab, gently lifting the basement floor back to its original height. We meticulously patch the holes upon completion, leaving virtually no trace of the process. Thanks to the rapid curing time of polyurethane foam, your basement can be ready for use the same day.

Moreover, our polyurethane foam formulation is environmentally friendly and free of toxic chemicals, ensuring a safe indoor environment for your household. If you've noticed any signs of concrete settlement affecting your basement floors, don't hesitate to contact Levicon Concrete Solutions today. Let us help you address these concerns promptly and effectively, safeguarding the stability and comfort of your home for years to come.

Why are my basement floors uneven?

Several factors can contribute to the development of cracked and uneven basement floors, each presenting unique challenges to the stability of your home. Natural settlement, inadequate drainage, and improper foundation backfilling are the primary culprits of this deterioration.

The most prevalent cause of cracked and uneven basement floors is the natural settling of your home over time. As structures age, they gradually settle into the ground under the weight of construction materials and the structure itself. This settling process can result in the formation of cracks and unevenness in basement floors. Excessive settling can pose significant issues for the foundation, potentially compromising the structural integrity of your entire home.

Inadequate backfilling during the initial construction or subsequent repairs can also contribute to basement floor deterioration. If contractors use substandard backfilling materials or fail to properly compact the fill, it can lead to erosion around the foundation. Proper backfilling is crucial for supporting the foundation, and any deficiencies in this process can result in excessive settling, leading to cracks and structural damage within the basement.

Additionally, poor drainage around the home can exacerbate basement floor problems. Inadequate drainage can cause water to accumulate around the foundation, eventually seeping underneath and weakening it over time. This accumulation of water can further contribute to cracks and damage in the basement flooring system and lead to leaks and mould growth within the home. Furthermore, water pooling around the foundation and leaks can compromise the home's overall structural integrity.

Regardless of the specific cause of cracked and uneven basement floors in your home, the team at Levicon Concrete Solutions is equipped to address these issues promptly and effectively.
