Street Creep Survival Guide: Protecting Your Property with Missouri Basement

Street creep is a hidden threat that can silently compromise the integrity of your home, particularly in areas with extreme temperature fluctuations. At Missouri Basement, we understand the challenges posed by street creep and are committed to providing effective solutions to protect your property. In this guide, we’ll explore what street creep is, how it affects your home, and how Missouri Basement can help you safeguard your property.

What is Street Creep?

Street creep, also known as concrete creep, occurs when the expansion and contraction of concrete streets and driveways lead to unwanted movement. This movement can exert significant pressure on your home’s foundation, causing damage over time. As concrete expands with heat and contracts with cold, it can push against your driveway and garage slab, potentially leading to structural issues.

Signs of Street Creep

Identifying street creep early can help you mitigate potential damage. Look out for these signs:

• Compressed Expansion Joints: Expansion joints between the street and driveway or between the driveway and garage slab may appear compressed or completely closed.
• Foundation Wall Movement: Watch for signs of movement in your foundation walls, particularly around garage doors.
• Gaps Around the Garage Door: Gaps behind the foundation walls or near the garage door could indicate shifting caused by street creep.
• Cracks and Structural Damage: Cracks in the garage walls or floor where the driveway meets the garage are common indicators of street creep issues.
