Concrete Lifting in Effingham, IL

4.7 (103)

In Effingham, the combination of clay soil and seasonal rainfall can lead to concrete settling and uneven surfaces. As moisture saturates the soil, it can become slippery and unstable, causing driveways, sidewalks, and patios to sink over time. This not only affects the appearance of your property but can also create safety hazards. Foundation Recovery Systems provides innovative concrete lifting solutions through our PolyRenewal polyurethane injection method. This technique effectively raises and stabilizes your concrete surfaces with minimal disruption and quick curing times, allowing you to resume your daily activities almost immediately.

Common Causes of your Concrete Problems in Effingham

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.
