Concrete leveling in Lincoln

Newer homes, settling backfill

Much of Lincoln's housing is recent, and the most common concrete problems in newer neighborhoods come from soil backfilled around foundations, garages and utility lines. As it settles in the first years after construction, garage aprons, stoops and patios can drop and tilt toward the house.

Common Lincoln jobs

• Garage aprons with a drop at the door
• Front stoops and steps sinking below the threshold
• Patios tilting toward the house
• Joint sealing on newer driveways

Builder warranty first

If your home is only a year or two old, check your builder's warranty before paying for repairs. Some settling may be covered.
