Lake Orion's unique soil conditions combined with its average annual precipitation can lead to significant issues for concrete surfaces around your home. The clay soil can expand and contract, causing concrete slabs to crack and settle. Additionally, seasonal freeze-thaw cycles can exacerbate these problems, leading to uneven sidewalks, driveways, and patios. At Foundation Systems of Michigan, we use advanced polyurethane injections to lift and stabilize your concrete, providing a quick and effective solution that is ready to use in just 15 minutes.

Common Causes of your Concrete Problems in Lake Orion
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.
