Why Is My Concrete Sinking?

Concrete can sink when support beneath the slab changes. The visible slab is only part of the problem.

Water and soil

Water movement can contribute to soil changes or erosion beneath concrete.

Poor support

Conditions under the slab may not provide consistent support.

Why does sinking matter?

A sunken slab can create trip hazards, drainage problems, uneven transitions, and water flowing in unwanted directions.

Can it be repaired?

The answer depends on slab condition, amount of movement, cause, and intended use. Some situations may have repair options other than complete replacement.
