Dealing with cracked and sinking concrete at your Fort Myers or West Palm Beach home may seem like a small issue on the surface. Unfortunately, any damage to concrete that is left untreated, can cause problems like tripping hazards and loss of property value. Don’t push concrete lifting problem signs aside. Addressing issues sooner rather than later can save you money. Browse the common concrete problem signs below and learn how Alpha Foundations can help!
Check Your Sidewalk, Walkway, or Driveway For These Common Problem Signs
Sunken
A very common problem sign is sunken concrete or concrete that has dropped below the rest of the slabs. This commonly occurs because the soil beneath the slab has washed out due to erosion. When this happens, a void is created. Without the proper support, the concrete sinks further into the soil. This problem is common in both driveway slabs as well as sidewalks.
Uneven Concrete
If you notice your concrete dips or is uneven at your Tallahassee or Naples home, this is a sign your concrete needs repair. Although erosion, or soil washout, is a common cause of this problem as well, the results look a little different, with sections of concrete moving in multiple directions.
Heaving Concrete
Another common concrete problem sign is heaving or concrete that lifts away from the soil. This happens when tree roots or other elements below force the slab upward. This causes the slab to lift and eventually crack.
Cracked Concrete
Cracks can range from hairline cracks to large openings in your concrete. When these are noticed, concrete repair is needed, and soon. Again, choosing to repair your concrete in a timely manner saves both money and headache in the long run.
