Challenge

The Problem A homeowner in San Jose, CA, reached out to Foundation Repair of CA with growing concerns about their driveway. Over time, they had noticed increasing cracking and uneven elevations in the concrete surface. This not only detracted from the curb appeal of their home but had also become a potential tripping hazard, posing a safety risk to family members and visitors. The homeowner wanted a reliable and cost-effective solution to address the issue without the hassle and expense of completely removing and replacing the driveway.

Solution

The Solution After a thorough inspection, Foundation Repair of CA proposed and implemented a two-part solution to restore the driveway’s stability and appearance:

Stabilizing the Driveway with PolyLevel Foam Injection:

To address the uneven elevations, PolyLevel foam was strategically injected beneath the driveway ramp and aggregate slab. This advanced polyurethane foam expands and hardens, lifting and stabilizing the sunken areas. The process ensures a long-lasting and level surface while minimizing disruption to the property.

Repairing Cracks with NexusPro:

Cracks in the aggregate slab were repaired using NexusPro, a high-performance sealant designed specifically for concrete surfaces. This durable and weather-resistant material fills and seals cracks, preventing further damage from moisture infiltration and restoring the driveway’s visual appeal.

The Results The homeowner was thrilled with the outcome. The PolyLevel foam injection successfully leveled the uneven driveway, eliminating the tripping hazard and providing a stable surface. The NexusPro crack repairs blended seamlessly with the concrete, improving both functionality and aesthetics. Most importantly, the solution spared the homeowner the significant cost and inconvenience of a full driveway replacement.

Key Benefits:

Cost-Effective: Avoided the expense of removing and replacing the entire driveway.

Efficient: The project was completed quickly, allowing the homeowner to resume normal use of their driveway with minimal downtime.

Durable: The combination of PolyLevel and NexusPro ensures long-term stability and protection against future issues.

Enhanced Safety: The tripping hazard was eliminated, ensuring a safer environment for everyone.
