We have the answer to any one who has this problem with sinking slabs or stem walls or filling the voids under your slab ie soil stablization

If you are having pool deck sinking or even your pool we can help
see the information below and give me a call we will see if we can help.
[SIZE=2]EagleLIFT also utilizes the URETEK http://www.eaglelifting.com/UserFiles/Image/soils.jpg (broken link)ICR's Deep Injection™ - a patented process that allows the business owner or homeowner to control soil settlement and stabilization issues at depth. URETEK ICR provide's a non-disruptive, cost-effective, long lasting solution for the following problems: [/SIZE]
  • [SIZE=2]Loose soil compaction [/SIZE]
  • [SIZE=2]Densification of loose soil at depth [/SIZE]
  • [SIZE=2]Bell bottom pier stabilization [/SIZE]
  • [SIZE=2]Ground modification for new construction [/SIZE]
  • [SIZE=2]Void filling at depth [/SIZE]
  • [SIZE=2]Structural sealing of manholes[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]This system places the unique expanding hydroinsensitive material precisely at the soil strata depth in question. After initial dynamic cone-penetrometer tests and engineering evaluation of the project structure and soils, we drill holes to the various effected strata levels. Our technicians then inject the necessary polymer volume to improve the soils compaction and re-level the surface pavement or slab as required.[/SIZE]



Watch this video and you will see how it works additional videos on same page to the right

My home was built ~1991 and developed slab cracks. I had the first floor tiled some years back and have observed cracks that are very slowly growing. On another home of the same model a compound was poured into the crack in the cement that stabilized the slab and tile was was installed and has been problem free. I was told by a tile contractor that post tensioned slabs are the standard now because of home owner complaints about slab cracks.

Expansive soils are fairly common. I am in the foundation repair business. the engineer's comments were accurate from my point of view. post tensioned slabs are not the cure all but rarely if at all pose dangers from the tension of the cables. most of the problems that I see from PT systems are heaving as opposed to settling.

^^^ I agree with you and the engineer. I run into post tension slabs that have edge lift or edge curl all of the time. Post tension slabs are definitely not a cure all.
You can perform a manometer test to get initial readings and then at least there is a starting point to see if the slab is heaving.
