The process of listing a home on the market, purchasing a home, or listing and purchasing a commercial property comes with a long to-do list, including contacting a realtor, completing projects, keeping the space clean and tidy, and inspections, to name a few. When listing your property or purchasing a property, most potential homebuyers or those purchasing a commercial property will most likely pay for a property inspection to ensure issues are addressed and repaired before closing.
From faulty gutter systems to signs of water stains, general safety, insulation, and structural integrity, nearly everything is inspected by either a general home inspector or a commercial property inspector. While there are varying levels of inspections, the structure and foundation will always be inspected.
Unfortunately, many homes and commercial properties have unlevel or cracked concrete that can cause serious injuries if not repaired. Fortunately, getting your unlevel or cracked concrete polyjacked will help you pass inspections and positively impact property transactions. Continue reading to learn why and how polyjacking can help you sell your home or commercial property.
Why Unlevel or Cracked Concrete Impacts Property Transactions
Home or commercial property inspections include inspecting foundations, driveways, patios, pool decks, and other concrete structures to ensure safety. If an inspector notices cracks or unlevel concrete, it’ll be noted to ensure the potential buyer is aware of any issues that need repairing. Cracked or unlevel concrete impacts property transactions because potential buyers don’t want to purchase a structurally unsafe property or one that could cause serious injuries from trips and falls on unlevel or cracked concrete.
Addressing cracked or unlevel concrete after a property inspection can help you complete the transaction, whereas failing to repair concrete will usually deter potential buyers. Fortunately, cracked or unlevel concrete can be repaired by using a concrete repair method.
Polyjacking vs. Other Concrete Repair Methods
Repairing cracked concrete is crucial to completing a property transaction. From mudjacking to DIY repair methods to polyjacking, homeowners and commercial property owners have options for concrete repair:
DIY Concrete Leveling
In a world of DIY home projects, many homeowners attempt to level their concrete themselves to fix cracked or unlevel concrete. However, there are many dangers of DIY concrete leveling, including safety risks, uneven concrete leveling, destabilizing the soil/concrete, and miscalculations.
Mudjacking
An old concrete leveling technique, mudjacking, has been around for thousands of years. A long time ago, mudjacking involved pumping literal mud under sunken concrete. While it initially lifted concrete, it washed away easily and needed frequent redoing. Nowadays, mudjacking involves pumping an organic mixture of dirt, sand, and cement to lift concrete. Though it’s advanced, mudjacking is still a short-term solution compared to polyjacking.
Polyjacking
If you’re listing your home or commercial property this year, consider polyjacking. Unlike DIY concrete repairs or mudjacking, polyjacking involves injecting polyurethane foam beneath sunken concrete, a chemically inert material that strengthens the soil beneath the concrete, ensuring it never shifts again. Polyjacking has many other benefits, including being environmentally friendly, a one-and-done cheaper alternative, and maintenance-free.
How Polyjacking Can Impact Property Transactions
Potential homebuyers or commercial property buyers will be enticed knowing that your property is structurally sound, thanks to a previous polyjacking job. Understanding how expensive foundation repair or replacing concrete driveways or patios is, polyjacking is the most permanent concrete leveling solution that fortifies the soil, never requiring maintenance.
Ignoring cracked or sunken concrete can create structural issues that will cost a shocking amount to repair, and mudjacking or DIY methods will cost more in the long run since they’re short-term solutions, often deterring potential homebuyers or commercial property buyers. By choosing polyjacking to repair your sunken or cracked concrete, you’re more likely to sell your property since it’ll help you pass inspections and offer a maintenance-free solution for whoever purchases your home or commercial property. It can also add value to your home or commercial property and add curb appeal!
