The Common Causes of Voids

Here are some of the root causes of voids:

• Poor compaction of the fill materials
• Erosion
• High water content (shrink and swell cycles)
• Freeze and thaw cycles
• Decaying organic materials
• Animals
• Vibration

When a void is left unaddressed, it can eventually lead to the breaking of the concrete that sits above it. A void underneath a concrete slab will allow water in and cause erosion. Voids are commonly found underneath driveways, attached garages, and walkways.

In an industrial setting, the vibrations of machinery cause supporting base material to vibrate, which allows the finer particles to settle out and consolidate further down. This action can cause a void and result in settled and eventually broken concrete. Contact LJS Waterproofing for a free quote and consultation on void filling in Hoboken, NJ and surrounding areas.
