Concrete Lifting in Fairmont, WV

Review Logo 4.8 (1,287)

In Fairmont, the combination of high annual precipitation and clay soils can create significant challenges for concrete surfaces. As these soils absorb moisture, they expand, putting pressure on concrete structures. When the water drains away, the ground shrinks, leading to cracks and uneven concrete. To combat these issues, Baker's Waterproofing utilizes polyurethane injection to effectively lift and level driveways, sidewalks, patios, and other concrete surfaces, providing a durable solution that fills voids beneath the concrete and prevents future damage.

Baker's Waterproofing, a Groundworks Company, is dedicated to helping Fairmont homeowners with their foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space repair and encapsulation, and concrete lifting needs. Our top priority is to provide high-quality home repair solutions along with exceptional service throughout West Virginia and beyond. With our experienced technicians, leading products, and nationally backed warranties, Baker's is here to ensure your concrete surfaces remain safe and level for years to come.

"I hired Baker's Waterproofing at recommendation of a recently hired plumbing contractor after their work revealed a leak coming through my foundation. I called Baker's and they sent somebody out for an initial inspection of my basement and garage. It was ultimately uncovered that my foundation was built of cinderblocks and was not only leaking water from the steep hill behind my home whenever it rained or whenever snow melted, but also that groundwater was welling up and through it from the ground below. Baker's scheduled a time that worked for both their workers and my time, and sent out Victor and Miguel to get a full waterproofing, french drain, and pump installation with backup system installation completed. Their work quality, work ethic, and determination to keep timeliness blew me away. Despite running into several complications and delays that were through no fault of their own, not to mention inclement weather on one of the scheduled days of work (heavy snowfall), they managed to work with their small crew to get all of the work done in about a week's total time. It only took them two days of work to complete a full job along nearly the entire basement wall, the whole back garage wall, and one entire side wall of the garage. On top of this, from start to finish of this project with Baker's Waterproofing, every person I spoke to and worked with was extremely professional, courteous, and explained anything I needed elaboration on clearly and concisely; and their pricing was not only competitive, but extremely reasonable for the quality and quantity of work they did. I cannot recommend Baker's Waterproofing enough; they are worth every minute and every penny. Special thanks to Victor and Miguel. If I ever need anything Baker's Waterproofing can do again, I am definitely asking for them by name."

Types of Concrete Damage in Fairmont

Common Causes of your Concrete Problems in Fairmont

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.
