Dorothy from Homosassa, Florida, reached out to LRE Foundation Repair regarding issues with her damaged concrete driveway. She reported that the concrete slabs had become uneven, posing significant tripping hazards. Additionally, numerous cracks had formed across the surface, and they seemed to be worsening over time. We dispatched one of our expert Design Specialists to Dorothy’s home to thoroughly inspect the driveway. After a careful assessment, they confirmed that soil settlement beneath the concrete had caused the slabs to shift, resulting in the cracks and uneven surface. For a comprehensive solution, our specialist developed a plan to implement the Three-Part Concrete Protection System to repair the driveway fully. First, our team injected PolyLevel beneath the concrete to lift and level the slabs. Next, the driveway’s joints and cracks were sealed with NexusPro. Finally, the entire driveway surface was treated with DecoShield to seal it and provide an even, light gray tinted coating to enhance curb appeal. After the repairs, Dorothy’s concrete driveway was completely transformed. The surface is now level, and protected, and boasts enhanced visual appeal.
Concrete Trip Hazard
Soil settlement had caused the concrete slabs in the homeowner's driveway to sink and become uneven, creating significant tripping hazards and the potential for injuries.
Concrete Driveway Cracks
When soil settlement occurs in concrete surfaces, it often leads to the appearance of cracks. If left unaddressed, these cracks are likely to worsen over time.
PolyLevel Injections
As the first step of the Three-Part Concrete Protection System, the LRE team injects PolyLevel directly beneath the driveway to lift and level the slabs.
Sealing Cracks and Joints With NexusPro
The second step of the Three-Part Concrete Protection System involves sealing the cracks and joints in the concrete with NexusPro. This prevents water from seeping beneath the driveway and enhances its overall appearance.
Sealing Driveway Surface With DecoShield
As the final step in implementing the Three-Part Concrete Protection System, DecoShield is applied to the entire surface of the driveway. This seals and protects the concrete from chipping, flaking, or staining, while also providing a light gray, even tinted coating throughout.
