Concrete Lifting in Athens, TN

Review Logo 4.9 (980)

In Athens, TN, issues with cracking and sinking concrete slabs are often attributed to the area's clay soil, which can expand and contract due to moisture changes. This can lead to uneven driveways, sidewalks, and patios, diminishing your home's curb appeal and safety. Traditional repair methods may not address the root cause of the problem, but AFS offers an innovative solution called PolyRenewal. This method involves injecting polyurethane foam underneath the concrete, which stabilizes the soil and lifts the slab back into its proper position, providing a lasting fix that enhances your property’s value.

Types of Concrete Damage in Athens

Common Causes of your Concrete Problems in Athens

Soil Erosion

Over time, water or wind can wash away soil particles beneath the concrete slab, creating empty spaces or voids that cause the concrete to sink or crack.

Poor Soil Compaction

If the soil beneath the concrete wasn't properly compacted during construction, it can settle unevenly over time, leading to cracks and sinking.

Tree Root Growth

Roots from nearby trees can grow under concrete slabs, lifting and cracking them as they expand.

Freeze-Thaw Cycles

Repeated freezing and thawing of water in the soil can cause it to expand and contract, putting pressure on the concrete and leading to cracks and lifting.

Heavy Loads

Excessive weight from vehicles, equipment, or other heavy objects can stress the concrete, causing it to crack and settle.

Moisture Changes

Fluctuations in moisture levels can significantly impact the soil's stability beneath concrete, leading to erosion and voids that cause the concrete to settle.

Understanding these common causes can help you take preventive measures to maintain the integrity of your concrete surfaces and avoid costly repairs.
