Slab Repair in Mira Mesa, CA.

Slab Repair for Mira Mesa homes, done by an experienced San Diego County foundation crew. Slab-on-grade is the most common foundation type in San Diego County, and when it moves, the whole house moves with it. Slabs settle when the soil under them shrinks (drought), washes out (plumbing leak), or compresses (uncompacted fill).

Mira Mesa: Mira Mesa 1980s slab-on-grade tract foundations are now in their 35-40 year active settlement window. Slab leak voids in copper supply lines, perimeter settlement on the downhill lots in Westview and Hawthorn Hills, and post-and-pier rebuild on the small number of older raised homes are the recurring scope.

Mira Mesa 1980s slab-on-grade tract foundations are now in their 35-40 year active settlement window. Slab leak voids in copper supply lines, perimeter settlement on the downhill lots in Westview and Hawthorn Hills, and post-and-pier rebuild on the small number of older raised homes are the recurring scope.. 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.
