PROBLEM: This customer had a poured concrete covered patio that wrapped around the entire house. At each beam post location, the customer had poured concrete piers at the time of original construction. The issue occurred when the customer had to dig up a water line and disturbed the dirt, which allowed the concrete piers, to settle in 3 locations. Along with the concrete piers the client was noticing some other voids throughout the concrete patio.
SOLUTION: To remedy the problem, HELITECH installed 3 A.B. Chance helical piers under the 3 concrete piers that were failing. To allow the best chance to lift the structure and to fill any other voids, HELITECH completed a mud jacking process that allowed the crew to evenly lift the slab to help prevent additional cracking. The mud jacking process was completed throughout the rest of the concrete patio.
