Concrete surfaces in Gaithersburg can suffer from sinking and settling due to the underlying soil conditions and an average annual rainfall of around 39 inches. The clayey soil, known for its expansive properties, can lead to washout and erosion, causing concrete slabs in driveways, sidewalks, and patios to become uneven and cracked. This not only detracts from your home's appearance but can also pose a safety risk. JES's polyurethane injection process can effectively lift and level your concrete surfaces while stabilizing the supporting soil beneath.

"The Crew at Jes from the Salesperson to the Crew that did the Foundation correction did an excellent Job. Supervisor Santos Cruz, and mechanics Corey Markie and Lucus Butista were top notch, polite, professional, and skilled. This is the first time I have had a contractor/job supervisor keep me informed throughout the job at every stage, and actually do what they said they were going to do exactly. Santos Cruz answered any question I had in person by phone or text. Santos Cruz responded every time, and actually offered information to make sure all parties understood the entire process they were doing. Cannot say anything else except Jes and the people mentioned, did an excellent job and I would use them again for sure."
Common Causes of your Concrete Problems in Gaithersburg
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.
