Why Property Owners Choose Lifting Over Concrete Replacement
Patio settlement tends to follow a predictable sequence. Water from roof runoff or downspout discharge lands at the patio perimeter, where it infiltrates along the joint between the slab edge and the surrounding grade. Over time, this flow creates a channel beneath the slab that carries soil particles toward a lower outlet point in the yard, producing an unsupported zone that grows larger with each rain event.
