What Causes Concrete to Crack and Sink?
Concrete cracks happen for several reasons, including aging, weather, and soil conditions. Many homeowners notice the most damage during the winter, as fluctuating temperatures and freezing rain can wreak havoc on concrete surfaces. Rainy seasons can also destabilize the soil under your concrete, causing uneven settling and cracks. Even in dry areas, the soil under concrete can shrink, leaving voids that increase pressure on the concrete slab. When soil conditions change under concrete, cracks are often the result. Understanding these causes is crucial to effectively fix and prevent cracked concrete.
Repair vs. Replacement: What’s the Best Solution?
When dealing with cracked or uneven concrete, you have two options: repair or replacement. Generally, repairing your concrete is the preferred choice for both cost and convenience. While concrete replacement involves tearing out old concrete and pouring new slabs, repair solutions like PolyLevel can fix existing concrete without requiring a complete replacement.
Concrete Replacement:
- Replacing concrete can be costly and often requires several weeks for the new concrete to cure before it’s usable.
Concrete Repair:
- Additionally, repairing costs only a fraction of replacement, with most repairs completed quickly, and the area is usable the same day. For these reasons, replacement should be reserved as a last resort option.
How to Fix Your Concrete With TFS
There are two main methods for repairing concrete with us, each with unique advantages. Let’s explore how TFS can fix and prevent cracked concrete effectively.
- Firstly, our crew uses PolyLevel injection, an advanced concrete repair option that utilizes a polyurethane foam to lift and stabilize concrete.
- After that, our team drills small holes into the concrete, then our professionals inject a foam mixture that expands and fills voids, stabilizing the concrete from below.
- Additionally, this method is highly effective, leaves minimal mess, and provides a strong water-resistant seal under the concrete.
- Lastly, PolyLevel is also cost-effective and less invasive, allowing you to enjoy your repaired concrete immediately.
NexusPro Sealant
- Once your concrete is repaired, sealing cracks and joints with NexusPro can prevent future water damage.
- Additionally, our team uses NexusPro, a durable sealant proven to withstand extreme weather, extend the life of your concrete, and prevent water from seeping into cracks.
- Plus, it gives your concrete a polished, professional look.
- Lastly, this step is essential to prevent future issues and maintain the health of your concrete surfaces.
