Need a concrete floor or foundation repaired?
Do you have a concrete floor that is deteriorating? Are you noticing your foundation cracking? In many cases, slight cracking is nothing to be concerned about. As concrete dries, small cracks can appear due to the excess moisture that evaporates which causes it to shrink. If the cracks in your basement floor are about 1/8″ or smaller, it is highly likely that everything is simply fine. On the other hand, if they are larger you should have them inspected. Cracks that are a 1/2″ or larger, even if there is no major cause, should be repaired as they can become a hazard for tripping.
Crack in foundation can be harmful
Furthermore, significant cracking can lead to moisture seeping into your basement through the floor which will eventually cause you many more problems in the future. If it is time to replace your concrete floor, Rooter-Man is the company for you. Our concrete flooring professionals will determine the causation of your deteriorating floor. It could be due to shrinkage, stress, poor installation, or simply normal settling of the home after construction.

When you choose Rooter-Man you can rest assured that your floor will last for many years without issues. Repairs can start as low as $160 per Sq Ft

Wet Foundations
Repairing damp foundations is critical to preventing further damage and maintaining a building’s structural integrity.
Choose the Source: Start by locating the source of water penetration, which may be due to problems like poor drainage, foundation wall cracks, or inadequate waterproofing. Examine the foundation in detail to identify any problem spots.
Address Drainage Problems: In order to keep water away from the foundation, proper drainage is necessary. Make sure that gutters and downspouts are free of obstructions and that water is directed at least 6 feet away from the foundation. A sump pump system or French drains may be installed to direct water away from the foundation.
Concrete Repair
Basement Entrances
Concrete Repair
Cleaning and prepping the surface, eliminating any waste and loose materials, is the first step in repairing concrete floors and walls. For small cracks, fill them using a concrete crack filler or patching compound, trowel it on, and let it dry. Use a concrete repair mortar or mix after soaking the area and using a bonding agent to fill larger holes or spalled regions. After the repair material has dried, smooth away any sharp edges using sandpaper or a concrete grinder. For added protection, take into account applying a concrete sealer as directed by the manufacturer. It’s wise to seek advice from a qualified contractor if the repairs are complicated or there are any structural issues.
Basement Entrances
Concrete basement entrances need to be carefully planned, excavated, fitted with forms, poured, cured, and finished. Layout design and all required permits should come first. Remove obstacles and excavate the area to make room for the entry structure. Build formwork and add steel bars for reinforcement for increased strength. Pour concrete into the formwork, making sure it is smooth and well compacted. After the concrete has dried, take off the formwork, fix any flaws, and think about sealing or painting the concrete to increase its longevity and aesthetic appeal. To guarantee adherence to building codes and create a successful construction output, professional skills may be helpful.
Sinking Floors
Cracked Walls
Sinking Floors
Determine the reason of the sinking concrete flooring in the basement before consulting with experts for an accurate assessment and appropriate fixes. Make use of techniques like steel push piers or helical piers to strengthen and support the foundation. Through the use of mudjacking or slabjacking procedures, raise and level the sinking floor. Take care of underlying problems like drainage issues or water leaks. For a complete and individualized repair strategy, seek professional assistance.
Cracked Walls
Examine the nature and severity of the cracks before determining how to repair cracked concrete walkways. For hairline cracks, fill them using concrete crack filler and let them cure. Consider using a bonding compound to reinforce the repaired area and sealing it with concrete sealer. Maintain the patched cracks on a regular basis and take care of any new problems right away. Consult a seasoned concrete contractor for an experienced evaluation and the best repair methods for large or structural cracks.
