Foundation Repair - How do I PREVENT street creep from happening?

As a concrete street heats up and cools during the seasons, it expands and contracts. When it contracts in the winter, the expansion joints cut into the concrete to allow it to expand in the summer and fill with sand and other incompressible debris. So when it does expand the following summer, the entire street can actually grow longer, exerting pressure on garages and foundation walls in the neighborhood. This is known as street creep.
So, how can a homeowner fight an entire creeping street? It’s actually pretty simple and kind of cool.
