We're here to educate and guide you towards smarter decisions for your property:
Another frequent question homeowners have is why their concrete slabs have settled in the first place. One common reason for concrete settlement is poor compaction of backfill when the home was built. When this occurs, the soil will settle and form voids underneath the concrete slab, which will reduce its support and over time causes settlement.
The length of the steel dowels is another common reason why concrete slabs settle. Generally, the dowel (a short piece of rebar) is spaced at around 16 to 24 inches. The dowel is then inserted into a drilled hole in the foundation, and one end is anchored to the rebar in the concrete slab. These rebar dowels will pull out of the foundation if the holes are not drilled at the proper angle, are not deep enough into the foundation, or if they are too big. Rebar dowels may also rust through and oftentimes be too small to support the entire weight of the concrete slab.
