Floor repair is an important task that should not be postponed. Floor damage can worsen over time, which can lead to expensive and extensive repairs. There are several ways to fix a floor, depending on the type of damage it has sustained. In many cases, floor repair is not a simple do it yourself repair.
In order to stop the damage at the root of the problem, the problem must be dealt with by a skilled professional. An expert contractor such as Residential ResQ can help you fix a floor in a fast, easy, and affordable manner and save you the cost and mess of removing or replacing faulty floors on your own.
Repairing a Concrete Crack
If your concrete slab floor is cracked, a skilled contractor will use specially designed concrete patches to repair the structural integrity of the slab, as well as prevent further damage. Residential ResQ uses only Rhino Carbon Fiber Reinforcement Products in our repairs given their innumerable benefits over the traditional repair and crack filling methods. Being made out of carbon fiber, these Crack Locks are lightweight and ten times stronger than steel. These repairs are waterproof when cured and will never corrode or crack. When they bond to your existing slab, they fix the weak points caused by the cracks, which prevents further stress fractures and damage. Residential ResQ reps can fix your floor in minimal time compared to DIY repairs and less skilled contractors and can leave the scene of the repair looking like it did before the cracks appeared.
Correcting a Sagging Floor
If you own a home with a basement and have noticed the floors have begun to droop into your headroom, or if your floors feel almost bouncy under your feet, it is imperative to consider solutions to correct this problem before it grows into something much less immediately manageable such as a floor collapse. It is much easier and MUCH less expensive to fix a floor that shows signs of distress than a floor that has succumbed to wear and tear.
If your floor is sagging, Residential ResQ can install specially designed shims known as Jack Posts to raise it up. These posts are designed to be adjustable so that they can be re-adjusted over time. This fix is effective because it gradually raises the floor over time, rather than doing it all at once which might cause cracks in your wood floors and create loose tiles and boards on the other side. Jack posts are designed to be long-term solutions and can hold over 30 tons of pressure and are effective and affordable not to mention a repair that is fast to install and easy to maintain.
The Bottom Line
In both cases, it is important to fix the floor as soon as possible. Floor damage can worsen over time, which can lead to expensive and extensive repairs. By having a skilled contractor fix the floor sooner rather than later, you can save yourself time and money.
If you are looking for a long-term fix to ensure that your floors will hold up for years to come, Jack Posts and Carbon Fiber Crack Locks are two highly effective solutions.
