We account for local conditions in every job.
Will slab jacking break my flooring?
Modern polyurethane slab jacking is dimensionally precise to about 1/8 inch when the technician is good. Tile and hardwood usually survive lifts up to 1 inch. Larger lifts or older tile (1970s and earlier) often break and need to come up first. We tell you up front when we expect cosmetic damage.
How do I know if it is the slab or the soil?
We do a level survey, then look at the pattern. Settlement at one isolated interior point with the perimeter still level is usually a void under the slab (water washing out fines, a buried trash pit, an old plumbing trench). Settlement at the perimeter is usually soil bearing or expansive clay and needs underpinning, not just jacking.
