Wetumpka's annual rainfall can contribute to soil erosion, which in turn affects the integrity of concrete surfaces. The average precipitation of 54 inches can saturate the ground, causing it to shift and settle, leading to cracked and uneven concrete. This can pose safety hazards around your property, such as tripping risks or damage to vehicles. AFS employs a state-of-the-art PolyRenewal system, using polyurethane injections that effectively lift and stabilize concrete surfaces like driveways, sidewalks, and patios.

"AFS hit a home run when they hired Tony Marlowe. Tony came to our home in the afternoon and stayed late in the afternoon trying to save our outdated sump pump. It was beyond repair. Tony came back two days later and installed a new one. Tony was very knowledgeable and very mannerly I will always ask for Tony for any of our services"
Common Causes of your Concrete Problems in Wetumpka
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.
