Concrete Lifting in Charleston, IL

4.7 (103)

In Charleston, clay and sandy soils provide the necessary support for concrete structures, but they can also become unstable after periods of rain. With an average annual precipitation of around 40 inches, the ground can become saturated and lead to sinking concrete. This can result in uneven driveways, sidewalks, and other concrete surfaces around your property. To address these issues, Foundation Recovery Systems uses advanced polyurethane injection technology through our PolyRenewal system, which lifts and stabilizes your concrete quickly and with minimal disruption.

Foundation Recovery Systems (FRS), a Groundworks Company, is proud to serve Charleston with expert foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, and concrete lifting solutions. Our focus is on delivering high-quality repairs and exceptional customer service to homeowners across the region. With a team of skilled technicians, industry-leading products, and comprehensive warranties, FRS is here to restore and maintain the integrity of your home's concrete structures.

Common Causes of your Concrete Problems in Charleston

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.
