During the summer months, it’s nice to have ice for your drink, but during the winter, that ice can turn into a destructive force for your foundation. During the winter months, the water that is normally below ground can turn to ice and expand. That expansion can cause your basement or foundation slab to buckle and crack, resulting in more water coming into your basement. This is called frost heave and may result in long-term damage if left unchecked.
Frost Heave is defined as the upwards or outward swelling of soils due to increasing pressure caused by freezing temperatures. Due to freezing temperatures, ice forms below the soil. As it expands, it pushes both the soil and items in or on the soil to push up and out. Over time, this can cause cracks, bowing foundation walls, and more. when you see these symptoms, you should consult a foundation repair specialist.
