"Rhett was my project manager for the encapsulation under my house. He was extremely informative, made sure i understood what my options were, always (literally) willing to answer any questions i had through the entire process and definitely not afraid to say he needed to get back to me if he wasn’t 💯 positive on the information i was asking for. I really appreciate his patience and integrity through the entire process. I shopped several different companies before making my decision to go with AFS and in full confidence recommend Rhett for your under house moisture control.
Taylor and his crew did the cleaning and installation under my house. Fantastic job! I was impressed by the professionalism, complete respect for my home, and constant contact with information of the process. There were a few times that original plans needed to be changed and he handled each instance with professionalism and poise. The pride in what he does not only shows in his work, but also in the way he leads his team. Highly recommended him for cleaning and installation."
Common Causes of your Concrete Problems in Somerset
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.
