Is your basement floor sinking? Are you seeing cracks, unevenness, or gaps between the floor and walls? Don’t panic! Slab-Jack Kings is here to rescue your basement floor, restore its stability, and ensure it stays level for years to come.

The Sinking Basement Floor Dilemma

A sinking basement floor isn’t just an eyesore; it can be a major structural issue. It can lead to:

Cracks and gaps: Weakening the foundation and potentially allowing moisture to seep in.
Uneven surfaces: Creating tripping hazards and making the space unusable.
Structural damage: Worsening over time if left untreated.

What Causes Basement Floors to Sink?

Several factors can contribute to a sinking basement floor:

- Soil erosion: Water can wash away soil beneath the slab, creating voids.
- Poor drainage: Improper drainage can saturate the soil, leading to settlement.
- Clay soils: Clay soils expand and contract with moisture changes, causing the slab to shift.
- Construction issues: Poor compaction or inadequate support during construction can lead to settling over time.
