Street Creep Solutions: Keeping Your Property on Solid Ground with Missouri Basement

Street creep is an often-overlooked issue that can significantly impact the integrity of your home. This phenomenon occurs when the expansion and contraction of concrete streets, driven by temperature fluctuations, cause pressure against your driveway and foundation. 

At Missouri Basement, we understand the risks associated with street creep and offer effective solutions to keep your property stable and secure.

Understanding Street Creep
As concrete expands in the heat of summer and contracts during winter, it can push against adjacent driveways and homes. This pressure may lead to cracks in your foundation, driveway, and garage walls. Recognizing the signs of street creep early—such as misaligned garage doors, gaps between the driveway and garage, or visible cracks—is crucial for addressing the issue before it escalates.

Proactive Solutions
At Missouri Basement, we provide tailored solutions to mitigate the effects of street creep:

  • Seamless Rubber Expansion Joints: Our innovative seamless rubber expansion joints are designed to absorb the movement caused by street creep. By integrating these joints into your driveway, we can help redirect pressure away from your home’s foundation, reducing the risk of damage. These joints are not only effective but also maintain your property’s curb appeal.
  • Foundation Reinforcement: If your foundation has already been affected by street creep, we offer reinforcement solutions, including wall anchors and carbon fiber straps, to stabilize and strengthen your structure. These measures prevent further movement and ensure long-term stability.
  • Regular Inspections: Routine inspections of your driveway and foundation are essential for early detection of street creep issues. Our team can assess the condition of your property and recommend preventive measures to protect your home.

Street creep can pose a serious threat to the stability of your property, but with the right solutions, you can keep your home safe and secure. At Missouri Basement, we specialize in addressing the challenges of street creep with effective, innovative solutions tailored to your needs.
