Street Creep Repair - Missouri Basement

Street Creep or concrete creep occurs as a result of the unpredictable movement, shift and expansion of concrete streets due to thermal changes. Foundation damage due to Street Creep is a common occurrence in the St. Charles, Missouri area due to our extreme temperature changes.

Signs Of Street Creep

Compressed Expansion Joints: The existing expansion joints between the street and driveway, as well as between the driveway and garage slab, are fully compressed. Even if the joint looks wide enough at the surface, there may still be contact below. The expansion joint can compress up to 1 1/2 inches.
Foundation Wall Movement: The foundation walls on either side of the garage door are pushed inward by the driveway slab
Gaps Around the Garage Door: As a result of the garage slab being pushed rearward, Gaps have formed behind the foundation walls on either side of the garage door.
Structural Wall Movement: Basement walls or foundation walls have been pushed out by the garage slab.
Garage Wall Cracks: Cracks on the interior, where the garage floor and foundation wall meet.
