Sinking Concrete: How Dry Weather Causes Concrete to Sink

Many different factors can cause sinking concrete around your pavement, sidewalk, or driveway. Some of these reasons are environmental, such as weather, soil composition, or even changes in the atmosphere. If you’ve noticed that the concrete slabs around your property have sunk, consider whether your area has recently had dry weather, as it may be the primary culprit.

Issues with Dry Weather

All these issues will damage and displace the concrete slabs, leading to sinking concrete and the pavement becoming a significant health and safety risk. People are more likely to trip, slip, or fall over. It’s best to carefully assess the state of your concrete pavement during a dry spell and take swift action to resolve it when possible.
