Why does concrete sink in Missouri?

You can blame it on Missouri's clay-rich soils. Thanks to its major rivers and past glacier activity, clay is plentiful in Missouri soils. In fact, the state continues to be a big clay producer for the building industry (Missouri Department of Natural Resources). Clay-heavy soils will swell and shrink over time in response to ground moisture, leading to voids under the concrete. As voids form, the soil is unable to support the concrete and it will begin to sink. Your concrete will also sink if the soil under the concrete was too weak to begin with to support the weight of the concrete slabs and the loads placed on the concrete (cars, furniture). This process is called “concrete settlement.” Erosion and the freeze/thaw cycle as winter turns into spring contributes to this process in Missouri.

Reasons for Cracked Concrete Slabs

• Weak initial soils unable to support weight
• Erosion over time
• Shrinking and expanding soils
• Moisture issues in soil

What concrete problems does PolyLevel fix?

The weight of your concrete and the composition of the soil underneath can lead to concrete settlement, uneven concrete slabs, and concrete cracks. As Missouri’s seasonal temperatures and precipitation vary over the course of a year, soils shift. Soils rich in clay will shift more dramatically. Over time, voids form beneath your concrete slabs, pulling the concrete down since the soil can no longer support the weight. At the first sign of concrete settlement, it's important to seek out a concrete repair solution that addresses the underlying soil conditions.

• Driveways and garage aprons
• Sidewalks and walkways
• Concrete steps or stoops
• Concrete patio and porch areas
• Pool decks and sunrooms
• Basement concrete slabs

How to Choose a Concrete Repair Company in Missouri

In addition to looking for a Missouri 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 Missouri PolyLevel contractor is an independent company supported by a national concrete repair network. In addition to reading reviews, check out past work by your local concrete contractor. A before-and-after picture showing the results of lifting and leveling an uneven concrete slab is worth 1,000 words!

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.
