Concrete Stabilization Technologies, Inc. - Foundation

I've waited for some time to rate this company. I wanted to make sure the product worked and it does. We were having bad water problems in the basement in 2013-14. After CST performed a soil test we found a void under our front porch and loosely pack soil around the foundation. They injected a foam to fill the voids. We've had more moisture this year than last and not one problem. The only negative comment is that the foam residue does not clean up and we have several spots on front door, front patio and in the storage area in the basement where it expanded into. If you’re having problems make sure to call CST and get their input. You won’t regret it.

Excellent team, incredible work, attentive, honest, reliable and timely.

My family and I purchased a house along the foothills in 2001. Prior to purchasing the house we hired an engineer to inspect the home for foundation issues. At that time no movement had occurred. A couple of years later I noticed that one corner of the basement was dropping fairly substantially. I contacted the engineer who had inspected the home and he reported that this was not an uncommon occurrence where the house is located and suggested and gave me the name of a mud jacking company. To make a long story short, I had the mud jackers come out to lift the basement. If you are not familiar with the mud jacking process let me just mention how messy the process is. I had slate floors and the mud jackers drilled 3 to 4 inch diameter holes, not only around the corner of the basement that was sinking, but all along the back wall. The drilling and pumping was very loud. There was so much dust and dirt everywhere. The holes were then filled with cement and were highly visible. But, I was ok as long as this cured the problem. I wrote a check and the basement was lifted.
Not even a year later I noticed the basement sinking again. This time I hired a mud jacking company that supposedly used a different mix of mud product, a more expensive mix, and one that would hold better. I went through the mess, paid a larger check and the basement was again lifted. The next year I noticed it sinking again.
This time around I contacted a different foundation engineer that came highly recommended. This engineer came to my home to inspect the problems I was having. This engineer then recommended me to a company by the name of CST and their Uretek product. I had never heard of this company or the product. Pam Langan from CST came to my house, viewed the problem and felt that their product would be applicable. Pam then scheduled Roy Mathis from CST, to come out and inspect the basement. The Uretek treatment was going to be initially more expensive then mud jacking, however in the long run it would be more economical and less disruptive to our home and family life. If this treatment worked, I would not need to hire, pay and then clean up after a mud jacker ever 12 months or so.
The CST people performed test so they would know where to drill and how deep. The holes they drilled were so small (1/2”), which they drilled into the grout between the slate tiles. Even now, you cannot tell were they drilled unless you are down on your hands and knees and really look. The Uretek product, which expands and hardens, was pumped into the foundation at deeper levels. When CST was finished there was very little mess. The CST technicians took care to clean up after themselves and were very aware this was a home and respected both the family and the home.
Over a year later, I am happy to report that I have no visible sinking. I contacted Pam and Roy prior to my one-year workmanship warranty to report that one of my basement doors was sticking slightly. Both Pam and Roy very quickly scheduled an appointment to come to the home. Both Roy and Pam felt there may be a slight settlement (less then 1/8”) and extended my warranty so that we could keep an eye on the basement to ensure customer satisfaction.
In closing, I would not hesitate to recommend CST and the Uretek treatment. To date, I am happy with the outcome of my basement. I feel that CST dealt with me fairly and honestly and the real bonus is that they stand behind their work. I would recognize both Pam Langan and Roy Mathis as being knowledgeable and caring. Last but not least, it is important to know that I am not getting any sort of compensation for writing this letter these were my experiences that I chose to share.

They are not just in it for the money. They were upfront and told us exactly what they could and could not do.

They went the extra mile to do anything it took to go the best possible job. The crew was the best and took their time and the results prove it. I would use them again and again. Thanks!

I appreciated their service. I appreciate the way my driveway looks. I appreciate their courteous service. Thanks!

We were impressed with the quality work done by your workers and the way this technology was used in this application. We believe raising the foundation as a result of the expansive materials brings it close to the original position and more importantly stabilizes the soils to prevent any future settling. We know this was caused by poor drainage at the corner of the house which we corrected a couple of years ago. Thanks you for your good work.

Thank you for your phone call regarding the recent repairs completed by CST on Orchard Drive. I am pleased to report that all three locations were repaired in two days, and the actual cost for the repairs was less than what was estimated.
I was especially pleased with the pavement repair around the vault near 1500 South. Your crews were able to lift the smaller section of concrete pavement between the vault lid and the curb and gutter back into place – which I thought would be an impossible task. Now when I have to travel south on Orchard Drive, I look forward to the opportunity to drive over that repair, instead of changing lanes to avoid the former hazard.
This summer has provided two opportunities to compare the burden of removal and replacement to CST’s ability to restore settle concrete panels. Our first opportunity was the result of the installation of a new water main for a mixed-use commercial/residential project which resulted in many phone calls from nearby businesses, distressed motorist who had to travel the detour routes, and concerned citizens who had to deal with increased traffic on residential streets. Our second experience with pavement replacement has resulted in lane reductions for both directions of traffic and the associated user delay caused by reduced roadway capacity. With CST’s repairs, traffic was back to normal in a few hours.

I wanted to send you an email and tell you how impressed and satisfied I am with your service. As we discussed when you came out, I was about to give up on having the mud-jacking subbed out because of how un-impressed I was with one of your competitors. You arrived promptly after our phone conversation, you explained what you could do for my client and you gave a reasonable price and had a crew there the next morning. That crew was Damian and Paul, two talented and professional tradesmen. They did a phenomenal job and were efficient and delightful to work with. The homeowner and I were very impressed and totally satisfied. I have shared your number with several people already. Knowing how your system and product work, I don't know why anyone would use anything else. I could use a stack of your business cards and a couple of flyers to share with my clients and colleagues. It sure is a nice change to get more than you bargained for!!!!!

A knowledgeable man came to discuss my problem and then sent me a quote for the work I needed. The office followed up to schedule my work and the work crew called when they were on the way to do the work with an estimated time of arrival. The work crew determined exactly what they needed to do and completed the work and answered all my questions.

Quality and speed of repair were excellent

We were buying a house that needed a new porch. Unfortunately the hiring decision was out of our hands. We did receive a call from Concrete Stabilization Technologies and would have hired him if it were up to us. He was great to talk with and we have referred him to others already.

They were excellent! It is not often that you hire someone and the job turns out much better than you expected t to. They downplayed what they could do, not promise the moon. We were very pleased and have recommended them to several people already.

I actually cancelled this company two times but Scott talked me off the ledge! I am so happy he did. He always kept me informed. They were here right on time. They are so professional and the job they did is supreme. They were here from noon until 6 p.m. lifting concrete in my driveway and sidewalk. My house is only 10 years old but I live on a slope and have sinking problems with my entire yard. They also stabilized my deck that is 12 feet off the ground. They fixed everything on the list and left a very clean worksite. I would highly recommend CST for any concrete or foundation problems.

Just wanted to say thanks for coming out on Fri to check out my fallen
basement and garage floors and getting your crew, Tom, out the same day to correct these problems. I'd had a lot of stress about the potential
invasiveness of the fix and at my age that's probably not good! I was
delighted to see that the fallen basement and garage floors could be made "as good as new" in a couple hours without all the mess I imagined. Tom, your crew were really professional and did a superb job. We sincerely appreciate the good work. Regards.

Roy,

I hope this finds you and yours well and you had a good winter.

Just got back from Arizona for the winter and wanted to give you an update on our house . I am very impressed!, not one new crack or sign of any further movement. You guys did a great job and the house seems very stable now. No doors out of square, roof looks normal and deck is now level. Glad to see it made it at least one year with the fix and hopefully many more to come.

Thanks again for you expertise!

Cliff, I want to let you know how pleased we are with the results of the work you did for us.

You arrived on time and started right away. There was no dust or mess from the drilling and very little noise. The crew worked hard and were obviously very experienced. They worked well with keeping me informed of the progress.
They cleaned up the area exceptionally before they left.

Again we're very pleased and already have recommended CST to friends.

It has been a pleasure doing business with you and Concrete Stabilization Technology, Inc. Your company's exemplary reputation became evident at Denver's Home and Garden Show when the first booth we approached (I believe it was a concrete company) to inquire about lifting our basement and garage slab directed us, without hesitation, to CST's booth. The professionalism, knowledge and patented process you exhibited convinced us to look no further. While I'm certain you spoke to hundreds of potential customers, only a few probably followed up; yet you represented your company as though we were your most important prospect of the day.

CST never failed to do what you/they said they would do. From delivering an estimate as promised to showing up as scheduled is a rare treat anymore. As I said earlier today, this has been one of the very few times in my life when a job has gone according to plan. If there's gum to be stepped in or a nail to be run over, you can bet it's going to be me who finds them.

CST certainly met our expectations, and finished the job in one-fifth of the estimated time (not your fault! Who could possibly see through that mess in the basement and garage?). Casey, the foreman, was beyond accommodating and, I believe, went above and beyond being careful with our most valuable asset, our house and the possessions that fill it.

The garage floor came up five and one-half inches on one side. We parked three vehicles in it that night. Go figure! A warranty, to boot. How can one go wrong?

Not only that, my husband has no complaints, which says it all.

Gerry and I want to thank you and your crew for the professional way all our work has been handled. None of us wanted a problem with this floor, but we are certainly pleased with the outcome. It's refreshing to deal with a company that stands behind their name and product when problems do arise. This is a rare commodity in today's market and greatly appreciated.
We are quite impressed with your technology, and would not hesitate to give a glowing recommendation to anyone in need of concrete lifting.
Thanks again for all your efforts.
