Concrete Lifting in Johnston, IA

4.8 (468)

In Johnston, the clay and loam soils provide a stable foundation for concrete structures; however, the moisture retention in these soils can lead to issues over time. Heavy rains and snow can saturate the ground, causing it to become slippery and unstable. This can result in sinking concrete, leading to uneven driveways, sidewalks, and steps. Foundation Recovery Systems utilizes innovative polyurethane injection, known as PolyRenewal, to effectively lift and stabilize concrete back to its original position with minimal disruption and a quick cure time.

Foundation Recovery Systems (FRS), a Groundworks Company, is dedicated to helping Johnston homeowners with their foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, and concrete needs. We pride ourselves on delivering high-quality home repair solutions and exceptional service across Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, and Kansas. With a team of trained professionals and top-notch products, FRS is here to help you restore your concrete surfaces and maintain the integrity of your property.

"Had a sidewalk that had sunk too far on the right side making it quite unsafe at the front step. I had a different company out to raise it and they failed but still charged me 3/4 of the cost. I then had Foundation Recovery Systems out and they fixed the problem without issue. My experience was great with FRS!"

Common Causes of your Concrete Problems in Johnston

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.
