"FSS has been terrific partner through a very turbulent and frightening time for our house. When we started to notice foundation and crawlspace moisture issues, our thoughts go to the worst, but Rich helped us stay come, providing the most thorough inspection of any other company we had out, spending the time we needed to understand our issues and the possible solutions. He was always available for our questions and made us feel like he was in our corner.
The crew that performed the work (shout out to Mark V, Danny, Moses, and Ricky) were absolute rock stars and very professional, communicating expectations clearly along the way. They were ahead of schedule and did a great job!
Would recommend FSS to anyone who asks!"
Common Causes of your Concrete Problems in Universal City
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.
