Concrete Lifting in Iowa City, IA

4.8 (468)

In Iowa City, the clay and silt soil composition provides support for concrete structures, but the region's average annual precipitation of 36 inches can lead to soil erosion and instability. As rain and snow saturate the ground, it may become too soft to support concrete adequately, leading to sinking and uneven surfaces like driveways, sidewalks, and patios. Foundation Recovery Systems employs innovative polyurethane injection through our PolyRenewal system to lift and level concrete back to its original position quickly and efficiently, minimizing disruption to your property.

Foundation Recovery Systems (FRS), a Groundworks Company, specializes in helping homeowners in Iowa City with foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, and concrete needs. We are committed to delivering high-quality home repair solutions and personalized service. Our expert technicians are equipped with industry-leading products and offer nationally backed warranties to ensure your concrete repair is effective and long-lasting.

Common Causes of your Concrete Problems in Iowa City

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.
