Concrete Lifting in Athens, TX

Review Logo 4.8 (279)

In Athens, TX, the integrity of your concrete structures is heavily influenced by the underlying soil composition. The area primarily features clay soil, which can expand and contract significantly due to moisture changes. With an average annual precipitation of approximately 43 inches, the impact of water on clay soil can lead to uneven settling of concrete surfaces. FSS utilizes advanced PolyRenewal technology, a polyurethane injection system that effectively lifts and stabilizes concrete, ensuring it remains level and well-supported against the challenges posed by local soil conditions.

Understanding the local soil and environmental factors is crucial for effective foundation repair in Athens. The expansive clay soils typical of Texas can experience considerable movement with moisture fluctuations, often leading to structural issues. Expert intervention is required to address these challenges, and FSS offers tailored solutions that ensure your concrete remains stable and your property retains its value.

Types of Concrete Damage in Athens

Common Causes of your Concrete Problems in Athens

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.
