Concrete Lifting in Franklin, IN

Review Logo 4.7 (1,536)

Just as a foundation suffers damage, other concrete structures on your property - from patios and pool decks to sidewalks and driveways - are susceptible to problems brought on by environmental forces. The silt topsoil common in Franklin can be washed out by more than 60 inches of annual precipitation (42 inches of rain and 22 inches of snow), and the clay subsoil swells when wet and shrinks when dry. This results in unstable soil that leads to concrete damage like cracks, sinking, unevenness, and even pitting, flaking, and staining. Traditional repair measures like mudjacking fail to get the job done or last very long, but the concrete lifting and leveling method offered by IFS is a more effective and less invasive solution. Our polyurethane injections are lightweight, durable, eco-friendly, waterproof, and adaptable to various concrete areas around your property.

Indiana Foundation Service, a Groundworks Company, helps homeowners in Franklin with their foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, and concrete lifting needs. Our top priority is providing high-quality home repair solutions and personalized service in Central and Southern Indiana.

Types of Concrete Damage in Franklin

Common Causes of your Concrete Problems in Franklin

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.
