Concrete Lifting in Gainesville, FL

Review Logo 4.9 (1,334)

Concrete is a strong material, but Gainesville's clay-rich soil can become unstable due to its high moisture retention, especially with an average annual rainfall of about 50 inches. This can lead to erosion and washout underneath concrete structures like driveways, sidewalks, and pool decks, resulting in cracks and uneven surfaces that pose tripping hazards. To effectively lift and level your concrete, Alpha Foundations employs an innovative polyurethane injection technique, using lightweight, non-invasive PolyRenewal foam that will not wash out. This method precisely raises the slabs, restoring both the safety and appearance of your property.

Alpha Foundations, a Groundworks Company, specializes in helping homeowners with their foundation repair, crawl space, and concrete needs. Our top priority is providing high-quality home foundation repair and concrete services across the state of Florida. With fully trained technicians, industry-leading products, excellent customer service, and nationally backed warranties, Alpha is here to restore your foundation or crawl space.

Types of Concrete Damage in Gainesville

Common Causes of your Concrete Problems in Gainesville

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.
