Review Logo 4.9 (34)

This method helps improve the safety and appearance of your property, preventing potential trip hazards and further deterioration.

"In early 2025, I watched the series of videos put out by Mike Rowe on his Youtube channel where he accompanied a Groundworks team on a jobsite and then interviewed Matt Malone, Groundworks' founder. Those videos encouraged me to put Groundworks on my contact list because I knew we would eventually contract them to help us with water and foundation issues for our raised foundation home in southern California. I first met with DALTEN in December 2025 to discuss our areas of concern and receive his inspection. He spent literally hours thoroughly measuring and documenting our home's underbelly before coming to the table to meet with me over his tablet device on which he recorded all the information we needed to make an informed decision in the approach to repairs. Their balanced use of technology and face-to-face discussion was exactly what was needed to effectively communicate with us about the whole process. We signed on that evening to schedule the work. I scheduled with them to start in January 2026. The Groundworks system emailed and texted with me to keep me updated on time of arrival and what to expect throughout the project. On the first day, ROGER, JUAN, and JORGE came to our property right on time and were ready to go within minutes, fully suited up for their mission under our house. Roger projected 4 or 4.5 days for the job completion and he stuck to that; they began Monday and ended Thursday. Dalten and Roger worked to ensure our plan was both achievable and met the engineer's specifications with respect to the leveling beam installation. A modification was made on the fly to rework some of our trenching and the change was easily conducted electronically between the team and me. Roger discussed everything at the end with me over the phone since I was away. He also sent me photos of the finished product. After talking to Jorge, I decided to go under the house with him and Juan for a brief period so he could show me where future electrical would be needed to properly connect the pumps they installed. They were courteous to show me how to safely get into the crawl space and then how to exit. Finally, the guys went above and beyond by informing me about a leak point coming from one of our bathrooms and made recommendations for services outside the scope of their work based on what would be best for us. I cannot praise the Groundworks team enough, a really solid bunch of people who are doing home repair the right way. Thank you guys!"

Types of Concrete Damage in Spring Valley

Common Causes of your Concrete Problems in Spring Valley

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.

FAQs

The cost to lift and level a patio or porch slab in Spring Valley can vary depending on the size, condition, and complexity of the job. Typically, costs might range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. It's best to get a local estimate to determine the exact price for your specific situation.

Adding more concrete on top of sunken areas is not a recommended solution. This method does not address the underlying issues causing the sinking, such as soil erosion or compaction. It can also add unnecessary weight to the slab, possibly making the problem worse over time. Professional concrete lifting is a more effective and long-term solution.

Yes, tree roots can cause concrete to sink or crack. As roots grow, they exert pressure on the concrete surfaces, which can lead to lifting, cracking, or displacement. Additionally, roots can remove moisture from the soil, causing it to become unstable and increase the likelihood of sinking.

During a concrete lifting estimate, a professional will assess the affected areas to determine the cause and extent of the issue. They will discuss potential solutions, answer any questions you may have, and provide a detailed cost estimate for the work required. It's a great opportunity to understand the process and materials used in the lifting procedure.

Gaps form under concrete primarily due to changes in soil conditions. Soil erosion, water drainage issues, compaction, and settling can all cause the ground to shift or shrink, leaving empty spaces beneath the concrete slab. These voids lead to the unlevel surfaces and need to be addressed to prevent further deterioration.
