Concrete Services Photo Album: Driveway Repair in Dade City, FL
David C. from Dade City, Florida had a pipe burst near his driveway, causing water to overflow and wash out the soil, creating large cracks and holes. In a hurry to get it fixed, he called LRE Foundation Repair for assistance. LRE assessed the damage and came up with a solution to not only stabilize the soil beneath the concrete slab but also to seal and protect the surface of the driveway to prevent future damage. To begin, LRE used PolyLevel, a polyurethane expanding foam that fills all gaps and stabilizes the surrounding soil, to inject under the concrete slab. After the PolyLevel cured, LRE's team worked on the large cracks by sanding them down and preparing them for a NexusPro application. NexusPro is a silicone-based concrete crack sealer that remains flexible over time, protecting the concrete from moisture intrusion and future damage. These products combined made the driveway as good as new and left the customer completely satisfied.
Large Holes Form Near Driveway
After a pipe burst, large amounts of water washed away soils near and under the driveway, leaving gaping holes.
Concrete Prepared for PolyLevel
LRE's crew drilled small holes throughout the concrete where the PolyLevel, expanding foam material, would be placed. These small holes are easily smoothed over with concrete once the application process is complete.
Cracks Prepared for NexusPro
The concrete cracks are smoothed and grind out so the NexusPro product could be easily applied. NexusPro can be color-matched to driveways so they blend in when cured.
Concrete Cracks Sealed
The NexusPro product is applied handsomely and carefully in all driveway cracks. As the silicone-based product cures, it leaves a flexible protected surface in the concrete that resists future cracks and damage.
Cracks in Concrete Repaired
All cracks are fixed and the concrete slab is not only stabilized, but protected from future damage.
