"We asked Foundation Recovery Systems to come and do an inspection of our basement because we knew we were having foundation issues. They sent Chris Vanderpool, who helped us understand everything that was going on and took the extra time to stop and answer questions — he even got his hands dirty to help us get more important answers. He did not pressure us, and he gave us a very reasonable window to decide if we’re going to proceed with FRS for their services."

Common Causes of your Driveway Problems in Ames

Soil Erosion

Over time, water or wind can erode the soil beneath your driveway, creating empty spaces that lead to sinking or cracking concrete.

Poor Soil Compaction

If the soil under your driveway wasn't compacted properly during installation, it can settle unevenly, causing cracks and dips to form.

Tree Root Growth

Roots from nearby trees may grow under your driveway, pushing against the concrete and causing cracks or lifting as they expand.

Freeze-Thaw Cycles

When water in the soil freezes and thaws repeatedly, it expands and contracts, putting stress on your driveway and leading to cracks or uneven surfaces.

Heavy Loads

Your driveway may crack or settle under the weight of heavy vehicles or equipment, especially if the concrete wasn't designed for such loads.

Drainage Issues

Poor drainage can allow water to pool and seep beneath your driveway, eroding the soil and damaging the concrete over time.

Moisture Changes

When saturated, clay soil expands, and when dry, it contracts. These constant changes in moisture levels weaken the support beneath the concrete.
