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.
