"Encapsulation was not an easy decision to make. It comes with a large price tag, and fear of not getting the results you are wanting. My wife and I pulled the trigger and hired AFS. Now that the job is complete I feel it was a good decision! Christian S, Dylan M, Connor W, and Sam R, did a fantastic job! My crawl space is a unique maze that isn't a standard job for these guys. They did run into some issues with the footers of my foundation, and it was looking like it was going to be very costly to add additional equipment. I declined the options presented to me and the crew figured out alternatives that I was satisfied with! The end result is I have a crawl space that looks like a sterile environment that a surgeon would approve of! Thank you Christian and crew! I'm sure glad I had you guys doing the job!"
Common Causes of your Concrete Problems in Shelbyville
Poor Soil Compaction
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.
