Concrete Lifting in Duluth, MN

Review Logo 4.8 (508)

Much like a foundation, concrete rests directly on the soil which it depends upon for support. In Duluth, this often takes the form of soil washout, but other causes include poorly compacted soil, and the freeze-thaw cycle. No matter the cause, concrete damage shows up as sunken, uneven, and cracked sections. Lifting concrete is easy with IBA's polyurethane formula known as PolyRenewal. This process is cleaner and more effective than other methods like mudjacking and provides a waterproof barrier above the soil.

Innovative Basement Authority (IBA), a Groundworks Company, assists Duluth residents with their foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, and concrete needs. We are committed to delivering high-quality home repair solutions and personalized service throughout Minnesota and the surrounding regions. With our skilled technicians, top-of-the-line products, and nationally backed warranties, IBA is equipped to restore your concrete surfaces.

Types of Concrete Damage in Duluth

Common Causes of your Concrete Problems in Duluth

Poor Soil Compaction

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.
