This agricultural shop floor had settled along the west side, causing water to drain toward the southwest wall instead of away from it. Because the space was used for heavy equipment storage and employee seating, the drainage issue was creating both operational and safety concerns.
The Challenge
A common question we hear is whether a concrete floor with radiant in-floor heat can be lifted safely. The answer is yes. For this agricultural project, a thermal imaging company was brought in before the lift to map the in-floor heating lines so the slab could be raised without damaging the pipes.
Before
Before lifting, the west side of the shop floor had dropped enough that water was draining toward the wall instead of toward the overhead door threshold.
Our Solution
Slab-Jack Kings raised, levelled, and stabilized the west side of the agricultural shop floor using polyurethane foam, lifting the slab by an average of 3 inches along the wall.
After
Once the floor was lifted and stabilized, water from equipment stored in this area drained properly away from the southwest wall and toward the threshold of the overhead door.
The result was a safer, more functional agricultural workspace with the radiant-heated floor system protected throughout the lifting process.
