Concrete Lifting in Decatur, TX

Review Logo 4.9 (283)

Concrete is only as strong as the soil beneath it. In Decatur, the soil composition predominantly consists of clay, which can be problematic when it comes to concrete structures. With an average annual precipitation of around 32 inches, this moisture significantly affects the clay's behavior. When the soil absorbs water, it expands and exerts pressure on concrete elements like driveways and patios. Conversely, during dry periods, the clay shrinks, leading to cracks and shifting in the concrete. At FSS, we utilize PolyRenewal, a state-of-the-art polyurethane injection system that restores your concrete to its original position and provides lasting support against the elements.

Foundation repair requires a deep understanding of the local soil and environmental factors that can impact a home's foundation. In Decatur, the clay soils are subject to significant moisture fluctuations, which can cause the soil to swell and shrink, leading to potential foundation issues. Homeowners must be vigilant for signs of foundation distress, such as cracks in walls or uneven floors. FSS specializes in foundation repair solutions tailored to the unique challenges posed by Decatur's soil conditions, ensuring your home remains stable and secure.

Types of Concrete Damage in Decatur

Common Causes of your Concrete Problems in Decatur

Poor Soil Compaction

The soil beneath the concrete may not have been compacted enough during construction. Over time, the loose soil shifts and settles, causing the concrete to sink or crack.

Soil Erosion

Water from rain, sprinklers, or poor drainage can wash away the soil under the slab. This creates empty spaces, making the concrete sink or become uneven.

Climate Conditions

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

Freeze-Thaw Cycles

Water in the soil freezes and expands during winter, then thaws and contracts. This movement puts pressure on the concrete, leading to cracks or lifting over time.

Tree Roots

Roots from nearby trees or shrubs can grow underneath concrete. As they grow, they push up on the slab, causing uneven surfaces or cracks.

Heavy Loads

Parking heavy vehicles or placing large items on concrete can compact the soil underneath. Weak soil cannot often support the weight, causing the slab to sink or crack.

Poor Drainage

Excessive rainwater or water pooling near concrete slabs can lead to soil washout, weakening the soil under the concrete.
