We welcomed Andy Powell from the Seawall Repair Network, a division of Alchatek, onto our sixth podcast to discuss the topic of concrete lifting and leveling. We delved deep into the causes of concrete settlement, the lifting process itself, the applications where chemical grout can be applied, preventive measures homeowners can take to prevent this sinking from happening, as well as many other interesting points. If you or someone you know is facing settlement around their home, tell them to contact Helicon at their earliest convenience! 📞 844-Helicon
