Concrete Lifting in Sterling, IL

4.7 (103)

In Sterling, the presence of clay and silty soils can lead to concrete issues, especially after heavy rains. The average annual rainfall of about 36 inches can saturate the ground, creating unstable conditions that result in sinking concrete slabs, uneven sidewalks, and cracked driveways. To address these concerns, Foundation Recovery Systems employs a modern polyurethane injection method known as PolyRenewal, which effectively lifts and stabilizes concrete back to its original position with minimal disruption to your property.

Common Causes of your Concrete Problems in Sterling

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.
