Excessive Moisture Below Your Home | Garage Floor Heaving and Walkway Settlement

Garage floor heaving is a common concern, particularly in areas with expansive soil like Phoenix, Arizona. This phenomenon occurs due to the unique properties of expansive soils, which undergo significant volume changes with variations in moisture content. When the soil beneath a garage floor absorbs water and swells or loses moisture and shrinks, it exerts tremendous pressure on the concrete slab. Over time, this pressure can cause the garage floor to heave or lift, leading to structural issues and potential damage.

Proper drainage systems around the garage can also help divert water away from the area. To prevent garage floor heaving, homeowners should ensure regular maintenance of their drainage systems, keep the soil around the garage well-moisturized to minimize extreme fluctuations in moisture levels, and invest in foundation inspections to catch any early signs of heaving. This proactive approach can save homeowners from costly repairs in the long run.
