Cracked and Sinking Driveway Created a Trip Hazard
The homeowner needed driveway repair because several concrete slabs had cracked, started to sink, and created a growing trip hazard near the driveway apron. Their main concern was quality of life and safety. They worried that someone could trip and fall near the front of the property, and they also wanted to avoid potential issues if the city required the uneven concrete to be repaired. The project included the driveway, front walkway, front porch, and several sidewalk slabs that were affected by the settled concrete.
Polyurethane Concrete Lifting Stabilized and Leveled the Driveway
Redeemers Group completed a three-part concrete protection system on the driveway, front walkway, and front porch. Most of the work focused on stabilizing the concrete, but the two driveway slabs closest to the road had settled significantly and required polyurethane foam lifting. The crew used PolyLevel foam along with slab jacks to carefully lift those slabs back into position. Because the long joint connecting the settled slabs needed to be freed up, the team cut the joint and slowly raised the concrete until the slabs were level with the rest of the driveway. The nearby sidewalk slabs also had to be adjusted because lifting the driveway changed how those sections met the surrounding concrete.
Concrete Sealing and Joint Protection Helped Prevent Future Damage
After the concrete lifting was complete, the crew pressure washed the driveway, walkway, porch, and affected sidewalk areas before sealing the concrete. NexusPro joint sealant was applied to the joints and cracks, including the joints near the garage, the long joint toward the street, and the joint along the house. This step was important because open joints and cracks allow water to seep beneath the slabs, which can wash out soil, worsen settlement, and lead to more cracking over time. By combining concrete leveling, concrete stabilization, pressure washing, and joint sealing, the homeowner received a safer, cleaner, and longer-lasting repair instead of a full concrete replacement.
