Street creep is common across the St. Louis area. You might be wondering why it’s so common in these areas. In the Midwest, we experience all the seasons – and so does your concrete. This means that your concrete is affected by the scorching summer temps and the bitter cold in the winter. With these drastic temperature changes, your concrete will naturally shift, expand, or move around in its place because of the temperatures, sun, and rain. This movement causes wall cracks, the movement of your foundation, and various other structural and waterproofing problems.

Much like an earthquake, there isn’t any proven way to know when your home’s concrete will be impacted by street creep. Unfortunately, it makes its presence known whenever it does show up. The extreme pressure from street creep will cause your foundation, driveway, sidewalk, patio, or any other concrete surfaces to crack or to be higher or lower in certain spots.
