Email to Rapidcrete - 3rd floor patio - Sunken “on grade” slab repair

 Hi there and thanks again for all your help.

Someone has worked on a quote for “raising” the sunken slab.  
Your quote included pricing for saw cutting and re pouring the slab.
Can you please reply with 2 things:
1) the cost you had calculated to cut and re pour the slab
2) the pros and cons of each method of repair:
      A) raise the existing slab
      B) saw cutting and re pouring the slab

Thank you so much

We do not recommend slab raising, because:

  1. The current slab has cracked at several location. 
  2. There may be some more cracks at the bottom as well which are not observable 
  3. Raising does not fix the cracks , and it may cause more cracks as well, by the way 
  4. Raised slab does not have any slope to the drain, 
  5. The current slab is not a reinforced slab , however our recommended new slab will include reinforcement and higher strength the concrete.

However raising may be a cheaper option .
