Homeowners in Orem often face issues with uneven concrete surfaces on driveways, sidewalks, and patios, largely due to the area's clay soils and freeze-thaw cycles. These conditions can lead to sinking and shifting surfaces that not only diminish your home's curb appeal but also create safety hazards. Our advanced concrete lifting solutions employ PolyRenewal™ Polyurethane Injection, a more effective method compared to traditional mudjacking, to restore surfaces efficiently. By addressing these issues promptly, we help ensure a safer and more attractive environment around your home.

"My husband and I were very impressed by the work done by Groundworks on our thirty year old concrete that was in need of some tender loving care.
We originally met Phil at the Home Show and made an appt with him to come out and inspect our property, then he worked up a full site plan on what they recommended to be repaired (so there would be no surprises). Phil then provided us with a comprehensive estimate of how much they would be charging for their service that comes with a three year annual service plan. A few weeks later, Hunter & Austin arrived first thing in the morning (they kindly gave us a courtesy call when they were half an hour away), and meticulously performed their magic by applying a process called poly renewal that completely evened out the concrete as promised. Then, they applied caulk crack repair that filled in all the old cracks on the driveway. We were amazed that they were completely done with our job by lunchtime. They did an excellent job and were very courteous and professional. This company has some very dedicated employees that take pride in their work so we highly recommend Groundworks!!"
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.
