Concrete Lifting in Decatur, TX

Review Logo 4.8 (279)

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

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.
