Common Causes of your Concrete Problems in Englewood
Poor Soil Compaction
The soil beneath the concrete may not have been compacted enough during construction. Over time, the loose soil shifts and settles, causing the concrete to sink or crack.
Soil Erosion
Water from rain, sprinklers, or poor drainage can wash away the soil under the slab. This creates empty spaces, making the concrete sink or become uneven.
Climate Conditions
When saturated, clay soil expands, and when dry, it contracts. These constant changes in moisture levels weaken the support beneath the concrete.
Freeze-Thaw Cycles
Water in the soil freezes and expands during winter, then thaws and contracts. This movement puts pressure on the concrete, leading to cracks or lifting over time.
Tree Roots
Roots from nearby trees or shrubs can grow underneath concrete. As they grow, they push up on the slab, causing uneven surfaces or cracks.
Heavy Loads
Parking heavy vehicles or placing large items on concrete can compact the soil underneath. Weak soil cannot often support the weight, causing the slab to sink or crack.
Poor Drainage
Excessive rainwater or water pooling near concrete slabs can lead to soil washout, weakening the soil under the concrete.
Concrete Lifting Solutions We Provide For You in Englewood
Yes, concrete lifting is generally more affordable than replacement because it requires less labor and material, and it can be completed more quickly than a full concrete replacement.
Foam jacking offers several benefits over traditional mudjacking or replacement including lighter materials reducing stress on soil, a faster curing time which means slabs are usable sooner, and better precision in lifting as the foam expands and fills gaps more effectively.
Sidewalks and driveways often become uneven or cracked due to soil erosion, poor drainage, changes in soil moisture content, freeze-thaw cycles, or roots growing underneath the slab which disrupts the even surface.
In Englewood, older homes with slab foundations and properties situated on poorly compacted fill soil or near water bodies may be more at risk of concrete settling issues due to soil instability and drainage problems.
Homes in Englewood may experience varying levels of slab settlement due to differences in soil conditions, construction techniques, drainage efficiency, and proximity to water sources which affect soil stability.
