Void in a box culvert
Accessing a void in a box culvert is usually not easy. Yes, buckets and ropes were used in this repair.
Void fill and stabilize
We can void fill and stabilize under whatever you want, but you have to rule out underlying issues like plumbing first. The parking lot pictured didn’t have an issue with plumbing, but it did need some tear out and replacement after we were done.
Fill this void
Washouts are sometimes hard to spot. A contractor happened to observe water bubbling up at a joint near the water line. It took under a day and around 20 yards to fill this void.
We can’t fix everything
We can’t fix everything, sometimes tear out and replacement is your best/only option. However, we give free estimates and are more than willing to look at your situation be it a walk, drive, patio, or pool deck. This one is better left to a concrete contractor.
Our process uses hydraulic pressure
Our process uses hydraulic pressure, so occasionally you need a bulkhead to contain our cementitious grout In this case soil was brought in to form an earthen bulkhead.
We made it!
Sometimes you’ve only got a few days before the rodeo starts. Oh, and you have to pump over 100 yards. For CRC the solution is simple men and equipment.
What is happening to my drive?
This picture really shows the progression of a drive breaking up. The far joints were salvaged with our process, but the joint near the bottom had to be torn out and replaced after our repair.
The process starts with water infiltrating underneath the slabs, which probably means your joint sealant is starting to fail. Vehicle traffic across the slabs pushes out the water from any available joints and cracks. Some of the sub-base material is then carried out with this water. Have you ever noticed a sandy parking lot? You eventually reach a point where the concrete starts to crack and break due to the lack of support. The problem starts to spread like a cancer taking more of the slab with it. You eventually reach a point of no return where tear out and replacement is your only option.
Our goal is to keep you from reaching that point. Our cementitious gout is pumped under the slab to replace this lost sub-base. That is where our slogan “We Save Concrete, You Save Money” comes in handy.
