Concrete Lifting in Mount Vernon, IL

4.8 (1,058)

In Mount Vernon, the expansive clay soils can lead to common issues with concrete settling and cracking. The soil's tendency to shift due to moisture changes can create uneven concrete surfaces around your property, especially after periods of heavy rainfall. As the soil erodes and washes away, it can further exacerbate these problems, making it essential to address concrete lifting to maintain safety and aesthetics.

"Worked with Ken Jordan from this company. One of the better experiences with home repair consulting that I've had- he was knowledgable, honest, and I felt that he had our best interests in mind. I hope I don't need to have more work done in the future, but I would call Ken for sure if it was needed."

Common Causes of your Concrete Problems in Mount Vernon

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.
