Concrete Lifting in Richmond, TX

Review Logo 4.8 (180)

In Richmond, TX, the strength of your concrete surfaces is heavily influenced by the clay loam soil beneath them. With an average annual precipitation of about 48 inches, the region experiences considerable moisture fluctuations that can cause the soil to expand and contract. This movement leads to issues such as sinking driveways and uneven outdoor steps. At FSS, we utilize PolyRenewal, an advanced polyurethane injection system designed to lift and stabilize your concrete structures, ensuring they remain level and secure against the elements.

Understanding local soil conditions is essential for effective foundation repair, and Richmond is no exception. The expansive clay soils found in the area are prone to significant swelling and shrinking due to changes in moisture. This can create serious foundation issues that necessitate specialized repair techniques. At FSS, we have the expertise and solutions to address these problems, ensuring the long-term stability and safety of your home.

Types of Concrete Damage in Richmond

Common Causes of your Concrete Problems in Richmond

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.
