Causes of Concrete Damage in Atlanta
Here are 5 big reasons why concrete slabs will settle and crack:
Water caused by plumbing leaks, heavy rainfalls, and erosion can find its way underneath your concrete slab. As the water moves, it can wash away the soil that is supporting the heavy weight of your concrete. The foundation can begin to sink and settle due to the soil being too moist.
When new homes or commercial buildings are being constructed, builders add layers of soil to the foundation to ensure the desired grade level. If a new slab is being poured on top of this loosely compacted soil, the chances of your concrete settling are more likely to occur.
Your soil can either become too wet or too dry. If your home was constructed with soils that are higher in clay content, they will most likely shrink as they become too dry. When shrinking occurs, it causes the creation of empty space underneath your concrete slab, resulting in uneven and cracked concrete. However, if your soil is too moist, it won’t be able to hold the weight of your structure, causing your foundation to sink and settle.
The soil underneath your driveway, that patio, or concrete steps is also highly susceptible to Georgia’s ever-changing weather and climate changes. Just as compaction or shrinkage can occur during periods of drought, during heavy rains, or when the ground thaws out after freezing during winter, that same soil can wash out and erode. Once this occurs, your soil can provide little to no support for the heavy concrete that rests on top of it.
As water moves underneath your concrete slabs, it can wash away the soil that’s supporting the weight of the overlying concrete. As this happens, a void is created underneath. Over time, with nothing to support it, your concrete slab will begin to crack, sink, or cave in. Suddenly, you’ve got a significant concrete settlement problem, safety hazard, and potential loss of resale value.
Different types of soil have different load-bearing capacities. When a soil’s load-bearing capacity is exceeded, the soil will compact and settle.
It’s also possible for the soil beneath a slab to settle and compact of its own accord. Soil that contains large amounts of clay and/or silt, as much of Georgia’s soil does, will shrink substantially when it dries out.
As the soil compacts underneath a concrete slab, the unsupported slab will sink as well, usually cracking in one or more areas as a result.

I contacted AquaGuard because I had water seeping into my garage everytime there was a heavy rain. Their rep. came out and surveyed the problem area. He proposed a solution and quoted a reasonable price. I accepted the quote and set a date to begin the work. Two young men showed up on time and ready to work. They politely introduced themselves as Tanner and Daelin. They explained what they were going to do. The job involved jackhammer work and lots of digging. They were not bothered by the degree of difficulty, they just went at it and finished the job before noon . They were very professional and efficient. I feel very comfortable calling AquaGuard if I have another issue in the future. No doubt I will definitely recommend your company to anyone who needs this type of work. Thanks Tanner and Daekin for a job well done. E. Ford

We hired Aquaguard to fix a raised lip on our walkway that our homeowner’s insurance flagged as a liability. They were also supposed to repair our front stoop, which had detached from the house by two inches due to settling. When the technician arrived, he immediately realized that neither issue could be addressed as originally planned. To mitigate the liability concern, he grinded down the lip to eliminate the trip hazard, but this fell short of what we had agreed upon. I voiced my frustration to the technician, who was understanding, and I then called customer service to escalate the issue. That same day, I received a call from the owner of Aquaguard, who personally apologized and assured me he would see to it that the job was done right. Later that week, he visited my home, evaluated the work, and candidly acknowledged that it did not meet their standards. Aquaguard then went above and beyond to make things right. They replaced two entire sections of our walkway, not only eliminating the trip hazard but also improving water drainage away from the house. Additionally, they filled the gap between the front stoop and the house—all at no cost to me. While there was a significant initial mistake, Aquaguard took full accountability and exceeded my expectations in correcting it. Because of this outstanding customer service, I will continue to use Aquaguard in the future, knowing they stand behind their work and prioritize customer satisfaction.

Why Concrete Lifting & Leveling Is the Right Solution
Cracked concrete means potential tripping hazards for your family and, in severe cases, a lower resale value for your home.
Older, more invasive concrete repair methods such as mudjacking (AKA slab jacking) don’t solve underlying problems. What is the underlying problem? The soil underneath your concrete. What’s more, replacing your concrete entirely costs more and takes longer. Time is of the essence, especially when it comes to driveway repair.
At AquaGuard, we offer a minimally invasive, cost-effective, and long-lasting solution called PolyRenewal™.
PolyRenewal™ is a lightweight, but exceptionally durable and waterproof foam injection that goes underneath the slab. It cures in about 15 minutes, so normal traffic can resume on your concrete the same day it’s done. Plus, it puts less stress on the underlying soil than other methods, so it lasts longer than mudjacking or even complete replacement.
FAQs
Concrete slabs crack due to problems with the soil beneath them. All soil inevitably erodes over time or gets washed out by water and rainfall. As it does, voids are formed below the concrete slab part of your Columbus home’s foundation and there’s nothing more to support its weight. When that happens, the concrete starts to sink and break at pressure points.
In order to lift the concrete, you should also fix the holes beneath it that have caused it to sink in the first place. That can’t be done with outdated methods for concrete lifting such as mudjacking. New methods that use polyurethane foam fix both the concrete and the soil issue by filling in the holes and providing a long-term solution to this issue.
Sometimes, the cause for the cracking is in the concrete itself and that’s what happens when the concrete isn’t sturdy enough. There’s no solution for this problem other than removing the concrete slab altogether and installing a new one out of reliable concrete that will provide better material.
Typically, hairline cracks aren’t a sign that your concrete is in need of repair, as they won’t create any structural problems to your concrete floors, walls, or other structures. Hairline cracks are usually caused by the curing process and can also be referred to as plastic shrinkage cracks. With that said, depending on the location of your concrete, hairline cracks may present a cosmetic concern. If that’s the case, call AquaGuard to discuss your repair solutions with our concrete professionals.
There are many products on the market that you can use to repair concrete without the help of a professional. However, none of these are permanent solutions, as they do not address the core issue: the soil. Calling in a professional concrete repair contractor not only guarantees you have the work done correctly, but it can also save you time and money. Ensuring the job is done right the first time can save you from continually having to repair your sinking concrete.
No—AquaGuard is the exclusive dealer of PolyRenewal® in the Greater Atlanta and North Georgia area.
The cost of concrete repair varies based on project type and scope, the PolyRenewal® method is always cost-effective and long-lasting. Call AquaGuard today to get a free inspection and quote for your concrete slab repair project.
PolyRenewal® is one of the fasting-curing concrete repair methods, meaning you will be able to use your concrete slab in as little as 15 minutes. Compare this to other concrete crack repair methods such as slabjacking, which can take up to 24 hours to cure!
How Will Concrete Lifting & Leveling Help Your Georgia Home?
With Georgia’s year-round rain, the area’s clay soil is perpetually washing out and settling. This shifts and cracks your concrete. But what happens when you repair your concrete with AquaGuard?
Prevents Tripping Hazards
When your slabs begin to crack and settle, they become a tripping hazard. For the elderly, mobility-impaired, or adolescent, these hazards can cause significant injury.
Whether it’s your pool deck, concrete porch steps, or sidewalk, concrete leveling prevents liability and injury to loved ones.
Increases Property Value and Aesthetics
Broken, uneven concrete looks ugly, and it lowers the value of your property. When you go to sell your home, potential buyers will take notice.
Prevents Pooling Water
Sunken concrete around your home can pool around your home which can increase the hydrostatic pressure on your foundation, damaging your basement floors or foundation walls. It also results in more soil erosion when water is left to sit.
Repairing concrete helps prevent wider damage to your home.
Common Concrete Lifting & Leveling Tips & Mistakes
Helpful Tips for Concrete Lifting & Leveling
- Regularly Inspect Your Foundation
Your foundation is mostly made from concrete. Inspect it on a regular basis for signs of damage. Common things to look out for include bowing walls and cracks in walls, sticking windows and doors, uneven flooring, and tilting chimneys, which can all stem from the damaged concrete.
- Check Pool Decks, Sidewalks, and Driveways
If you have a pool in the backyard, look for cracks or uneven slabs. The same goes for the sidewalk out front. Because you likely walk around these areas a lot, it’s important that they’re safe for people to use. You should also prioritize your driveway because you can see it easily from the street and because it can damage your vehicle.
- Choose AquaGuard To Restore Your Concrete

Mistakes to Avoid When Dealing with Concrete Damage
- Say No To Mudjacking and Slabjacking
Mudjacking (AKA slab jacking) involves an extremely invasive process. It’s also time-consuming, messy, expensive, and doesn’t offer same-day results. It also adds pressure on the underlying soil, meaning the concrete is likely settle and crack again in the near future.
- Replacing Concrete Is a Short-Term Solution
Like mudjacking, replacement and re-pouring of the concrete slabs also doesn’t solve the problem of soil washout or settlement. Your concrete may stay intact for a few years, but erosion will begin immediately if the soil isn’t addressed.
- Do Not DIY Your Concrete Repairs
At AquaGuard, we know how tempting it is to want to DIY home repairs due to time constraints and costs. But when it comes to damaged concrete around your home, it’s best to leave it to the professionals. Not only is concrete extremely heavy, but without the proper knowledge and expertise, you could become injured or exacerbate the problem. If you want to repair and restore your cracked, uneven, or sunken concrete the right way, call AquaGuard today for a free inspection.
