Concrete Lifting in Athens, TN

Review Logo 4.9 (979)

In Athens, the clay soil prevalent in the region can lead to issues such as cracking and sinking concrete slabs. This can negatively impact the appearance and safety of driveways, sidewalks, and patios. Traditional repair methods often fall short as they do not address the underlying soil moisture problems. AFS offers an innovative solution known as PolyRenewal, which involves injecting polyurethane foam beneath the concrete slab. This process stabilizes the soil and gently lifts the concrete back to its original position, helping to enhance both the safety and aesthetics of your property.

AFS Foundation Repair & Waterproofing Specialists (AFS), a Groundworks Company, proudly serves Athens with top-notch foundation repair, waterproofing, and concrete services. Our commitment to quality and customer service is evident in everything we do. With a team of experienced technicians and the best products on the market, we ensure durable and effective solutions to restore your home’s value and curb appeal.

Types of Concrete Damage in Athens

Common Causes of your Concrete Problems in Athens

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.
