The concrete surfaces around your Kent property, including driveways and sidewalks, can suffer from the effects of the region's weather and varying soil conditions. With Kent receiving about 38 inches of rain and 15 inches of snow annually, the local clay and silt loam soils can lead to settling and cracking of concrete slabs. These unstable soils can cause uneven surfaces that not only look unsightly but can also pose safety hazards. Ohio Basement Authority provides effective concrete lifting and leveling solutions through innovative polyurethane injections that restore your concrete's appearance and functionality quickly.

The soil beneath the concrete may not have been compacted enough during construction. Over time, the loose soil shifts and settles, causing the concrete to sink or crack.
Soil Erosion
Water from rain, sprinklers, or poor drainage can wash away the soil under the slab. This creates empty spaces, making the concrete sink or become uneven.
Climate Conditions
When saturated, clay soil expands, and when dry, it contracts. These constant changes in moisture levels weaken the support beneath the concrete.
Freeze-Thaw Cycles
Water in the soil freezes and expands during winter, then thaws and contracts. This movement puts pressure on the concrete, leading to cracks or lifting over time.
Tree Roots
Roots from nearby trees or shrubs can grow underneath concrete. As they grow, they push up on the slab, causing uneven surfaces or cracks.
Heavy Loads
Parking heavy vehicles or placing large items on concrete can compact the soil underneath. Weak soil cannot often support the weight, causing the slab to sink or crack.
Poor Drainage
Excessive rainwater or water pooling near concrete slabs can lead to soil washout, weakening the soil under the concrete.
