Concrete Lifting in Houston, TX

Review Logo 4.8 (180)

Concrete is only as strong as the soil beneath it. In Houston, most of the ground is comprised of clay loam. With an annual average of 53 inches of rain, Houston is known for being wet and humid for most of the year. This is a problem for clay particles in the soil, and by extension, concrete on your property. Water causes the clay loam to expand and push against concrete structures like driveways or outdoor steps. When the soil dries, it shrinks and becomes cracked, causing your concrete to move again. FSS uses PolyRenewal, a leading polyurethane injection system that protects concrete from the elements, lifts it back into its original position, and provides sturdy support.

Foundation repair requires a deep understanding of the local soil and environmental factors that can impact a home's foundation. Texas is known for its expansive clay soils, which can experience significant swelling and shrinking due to moisture fluctuations. This soil movement often leads to foundation issues that require specialized knowledge and experience to address effectively.

Types of Concrete Damage in Houston

Common Causes of your Concrete Problems in Houston

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.
