Why does concrete sink in CA?

Concrete problems often are associated with two notable characteristics of the material: weight and stiffness. If the soil beneath a concrete slab is not sufficiently dense or strong, the slab’s weight will push down on the soil, causing the slab to sink below its proper level. This often happens when the soil is weak to begin with. It can also happen when there is high clay content in the soil, which expands and shrinks with changes in ground moisture - as experienced gardeners know. While the official state soil is composed of a brown clay at the subsoil level, there is a wide variety of soil types across the state with varying degrees of clay content. When soils shrinks during dry, hot spells, voids are created, weakening the support for concrete above it. If a slab is well-supported in one area but not in another, concrete’s inability to flex will often cause the slab to crack – sinking in one area while remaining stable in another. Sunken concrete is a very common problem, often occurring in sidewalks, driveways, patios, and other slab-on-grade applications.

Three common causes of sunken or settled concrete:

• Weak soils. Fill soil and soil with high organic content is easily compressed by weight from above.
• Washouts. Flooding and heavy rain can erode soil beneath a concrete slab, leaving all or part of the slab unsupported.
• Shrinking clay soil. Soil with high clay content can shrink significantly during dry weather, sometimes causing a concrete slab to sink.

What concrete problems does PolyLevel fix?

Residential concrete is an ideal material for walkways in and around your California home and for outdoor living spaces, like sunrooms and porches.

Homeowners in California seek out PolyLevel, looking for the best method for sidewalk raising, lifting concrete slabs back to their original position, and addressing the first signs of concrete settlement in their driveway, pool deck or interior concrete flooring.

How to Choose a Concrete Repair Company in California

In addition to looking for a California concrete repair company who serves your town or region, you want to know that they understand the causes for failing concrete and have concrete repair solutions that are effective, long-term, and affordable.

A Concrete Solution You Can Trust

PolyLevel is a two-part expanding foam solution effective in many concrete lifting applications, in both residential and commercial settings. Concrete repair alternatives to PolyLevel include complete concrete replacement and “mud jacking,” an industrial application that uses a thick cement slurry to fill in the gap underneath sunken concrete. Both of these techniques are excessive when fixing a set of stairs that has pulled away from the home, or raising a patio concrete slab back to its original level. These alternative methods are disruptive, time-consuming, costly, and don’t address the soil-related issues that cause concrete settlement. Using foam to raise sunken concrete is the best solution for many concrete problems because it is fast, effective, less disruptive to property, and affordable. In addition, PolyLevel is a less intrusive process for lifting concrete that doesn't add more weight to the problem.

A Contractor You Can Trust

Your local California PolyLevel contractor is an independent company supported by a national concrete repair network.

The final step in searching for a contractor who can fix your home’s sunken or cracked concrete is to get an idea of the cost involved in fixing your concrete. After inspecting your sunken concrete, your local contractor should be able to propose a solution and provide a written estimate for repair costs.
