Driveways and Sidewalks
Why pump up concrete?
- To eliminate trip hazards.
- To drain water AWAY from your foundation.
- It's fast and effective.
- It lasts indefinitely.
- You can use your leveled concrete almost right away.
- There is little or no damage to your landscape.
- We are ALWAYS cheaper than concrete replacement.
How do we pump up concrete?
- First, we drill a series of holes in the slab.
- Then we use our specialized equipment to pump a grout or slurry through those holes.
- That slurry will spread out and fill any hollow space, generate a little pressure, then start to lift the slab as it fills the spaces underneath.
- Once the slab is in the correct position, the slurry will harden and support the leveled slab.
- When finished, we put cement in the holes and clean up.
What can we pump up?
- Walks, drives, patios, porches, steps, etc.
- Almost any sizeable slab that is not shattered.
- Your options will depend on how your slab was originally poured.
When can we pump up concrete?
- This type of work is seasonal.
- We cannot pump concrete during freezing conditions, so a normal timeframe is March through November.

Egress Window Installation
Egress adds value and safety to your home. Before you decide to add them, consider the following:
Advantages:
- Having an egress window allows you to add that living space to the calculations of your home's overall square footage. This, in turn, increases the value of your home.
- According to Popular Mechanics magazine, the value added could be as much as 10 times you spend on installation costs.
- Egress windows allow added emergency escape routes.
- Added sunlight to living space saves you energy costs over the long term.
- Extra ventilation improves air quality.
- It needs to be done to code.
- If not done correctly, it could direct water into your basement.
- Installations may cause a little bit of dust.
- The excavation needed may cause some landscape disturbance.
- It is a difficult undertaking and should only be done by professionals.
