Experience Makes a Difference

Marco Concrete Lifting understands that your concrete foundation can be the beginning and the end to a great structure.  Not only 100 plus years of combined experience with experts in the field but also holding a background in safety makes Marco a leader in foundation and concrete repair. West Virginia and surrounding states have been able to turn to this area specialist for the past 14 years with problems that seemed unsolvable on every level.  Mountainous regions cause way for unsteady soil structure and a wave of sliding foundations to occur.  Experts from Marco can evaluate the problem in soil or foundation and carefully explain why a problem occurs and how it can be permanently repaired without having to relocate. Stress is the number one cause of damage to foundations by expanding and contracting in soil.  This causes parts of the concrete to shift, sink or become unstable with the weight that it has to bear.   When these problems occur, you don’t want to guess on what needs to be done.  The problem must be addressed and done correctly the first time.  Knowing where pressure points are, how to lift a structure and creating stabilization is not something to leave to amateurs. Marco prides itself with their safety planning and implementation in every job that they do.  Commercial and residential structures alike need to be handled by skilled crews that have a reputation for safety when it comes to your property.  Their goal is to close up cracks in the mortar or blocks and bring your foundation back to its original state.  Guaranteeing further settlement is a primary factor in every job that is done. A geotechnical engineer is used in making the assessment on sloping ground where your foundation can further become weakened by the unnatural state of the soil and its ability to hold weight.  A method that was designed in Europe uses Magnum Helix Anchors and special mesh to hold load-bearing plates.  This system rises above competitors known for using a standard soil nail anchor. Slabjacking is a common method used for homes where structural integrity is necessary in existing concrete.  Even if your foundation is riddled with cracks, it is still possible to stabilize the existing structure by drilling holes and pumping in a mixture of lime and cement.  The whole process can take as little as a few hours.  This is a tremendous peace of mind for the future of your home. Marco Concrete Lifting is not a construction company although we have trained many construction workers to be concrete lifting specialists.  Bridges, mines, walls, docks and tunnels are some other areas where repairs can be permanently repaired without having to rebuild.  If you notice that your floors are sloping, notice exterior cracks or if there is seepage of water in your basement walls, contact Marco for an evaluation.  Our professional team will explain in detail what is causing the problem and the steps that need to be taken.
