Concrete Lifting in Cedar Rapids, IA

Review Logo 4.8 (468)

In Cedar Rapids, the expansive clay soils can significantly affect your home's concrete surfaces. These soils are known for their tendency to shrink and expand, particularly during the wet seasons, which can lead to noticeable settling and cracking in concrete slabs and driveways. With an average annual precipitation of about 32 inches, the risk of soil washout and erosion increases, exacerbating concrete issues over time. If you notice uneven surfaces or cracks, it may be a sign that your concrete needs professional lifting to restore its stability and functionality.

Types of Concrete Damage in Cedar Rapids

Common Causes of your Concrete Problems in Cedar Rapids

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.
