Why Summer Concrete Repair Matters
Why Summer Concrete Repair Matters in Georgia’s Heat
When most people think of summer home maintenance in Georgia, concrete repair might not top the list. But ignoring cracked, sunken, or uneven concrete during the hot months can lead to bigger and more expensive problems down the road.
At Atlanta Basement Systems, we see it every year: homeowners calling late in the season when small cracks have become trip hazards or garage floors have settled noticeably. If you’re noticing any signs of concrete damage, now is the time to act. Here’s why:
How Georgia’s Heat Affects Concrete
Georgia summers bring intense heat, high humidity, and sometimes severe afternoon storms. These weather patterns can cause:
-
Expansion and Contraction: Concrete expands in extreme heat and contracts when it cools, creating stress that worsens existing cracks.
-
Soil Drying and Shrinkage: Hot weather dries out the soil beneath your concrete slabs, leading to voids and uneven support.
-
Water Washout: Sudden summer storms can wash away soil, making concrete more likely to sink or shift.
The longer these issues go unaddressed, the more damage your property faces—affecting everything from curb appeal to safety.
Why Concrete Lifting with PolyLevel® Is Ideal for Summer Repairs
Traditional concrete repair methods can be invasive and time-consuming. That’s why we use PolyLevel®, a modern polyurethane foam injection system designed to lift and stabilize concrete quickly and efficiently.
Benefits of PolyLevel® for Summer Concrete Repair:
-
Fast Cure Time: PolyLevel® sets in as little as 15 minutes, ideal for hot Georgia days when you don’t want long disruptions.
-
Non-Invasive: No need for major demolition or replacement. Small holes are drilled, foam is injected, and the job is done.
-
Weather-Resistant: PolyLevel® resists water and heat better than traditional mudjacking methods, making it perfect for Georgia’s variable summer climate.
-
