Concrete Lifting in Palo Alto, CA

Review Logo 5 (20)

In Palo Alto, the concrete surfaces around your property, including driveways, sidewalks, and patios, can suffer from the effects of the local soil and weather conditions. With an average annual precipitation of about 15 inches and a mix of sandy loam and clay soils, it is common for concrete to crack and sink as the ground beneath it shifts. This not only creates unsightly uneven surfaces but also poses safety hazards for residents and visitors alike. Bay Area Underpinning specializes in concrete lifting solutions using polyurethane foam injections, which are flexible, non-toxic, and cure quickly, allowing you to reclaim your outdoor spaces with minimal disruption.

Types of Concrete Damage in Palo Alto

Common Causes of your Concrete Problems in Palo Alto

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.
