Concrete Services Photo Album: Solution for Settling and Cracking Concrete Driveway in Sarasota, Florida
The lower section of Christine's concrete driveway in Sarasota, Florida, had endured substantial damage, with sections having sunk into the ground and significant cracks appearing in the slabs. Besides being unsightly, the damaged concrete also created significant trip hazards, making the issue even more problematic. Christine asked an expert Design Specialist from LRE Foundation Repair to inspect her driveway in hopes of finding a solution. After identifying soil erosion as the cause for the concrete to settle and crack, the specialist found an opportunity to repair the driveway with the Two-Part Concrete Protection System. The LRE team initiated the implementation of the Two-Part Concrete Protection System by first utilizing PolyLevel to lift and level the sunken sections, followed by the application of NexusPro to seal the cracks and joints.
Christine's driveway has been fully repaired and now benefits from permanent protection against future damage from soil erosion.
Concrete Driveway Settlement Damage
The homeowner's driveway has settled significantly due to major soil erosion, resulting in large cracks forming in the concrete slabs.
Settling Concrete
When concrete settles, the slabs can become uneven, leading to further damage such as major cracking and the formation of trip hazards.
Concrete Trip Hazard
Along with appearing unsightly, settling concrete can also lead to the development of dangerous tripping hazards that could lead to severe injuries.
Repairing Driveway Concrete
The LRE team begins the concrete repairs by first drilling injection ports into the damaged slabs. This allows for the injection of PolyLevel underneath the slabs to lift, level, and stabilize the concrete.
