Concrete Lifting in Santa Cruz, CA

5 (20)

In Santa Cruz, the coastal climate combined with the region's sandy soils can lead to uneven concrete surfaces around your property, including driveways, sidewalks, and patios.

Bay Area Underpinning provides an innovative solution through polyurethane foam injections, which are adaptable, non-toxic, and minimally invasive. This quick-curing method allows you to enjoy your concrete spaces within the same day of treatment, ensuring safety and functionality.

Santa Cruz experiences an average annual precipitation of about 34 inches, which can exacerbate soil movement and concrete issues.

Common Causes of your Concrete Problems in Santa Cruz

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.
