A cracked driveway fix that is less time, money, and hassle than you expect? Sign us up!
A cracked concrete driveway is more than just an eyesore; it can be a hazard that lowers your property’s value and can worsen over time. If you’ve noticed cracks, uneven slabs, or sinking areas in your driveway, it’s time to consider a professional solution to fix your concrete driveway. At True Level Concrete, we specialize in fixing concrete driveways using advanced PolyLevel technology, ensuring a smooth and long-lasting finish.
Why Driveways Crack
Driveways are exposed to various elements, from heavy vehicles and foot traffic to weather conditions such as rain, snow, and extreme temperatures. Over time, these factors can cause the soils beneath your driveway to shift, leading to cracks and uneven surfaces. Poor soil compaction during construction, tree root growth, and water infiltration are also common culprits.
Cracks in your driveway not only detract from your home’s curb appeal but can also lead to more severe issues like tripping hazards, drainage problems, and further deterioration. Addressing these cracks early on is crucial to preventing costly repairs in the future.
The PolyLevel Solution for Cracked Driveways
PolyLevel is a state-of-the-art concrete lifting and leveling technology that offers a fast, effective, and long-lasting solution to cracked and uneven driveways. Unlike traditional mudjacking, which uses a heavy cement slurry to raise slabs, PolyLevel uses a lightweight polyurethane foam that expands and lifts the concrete with minimal disruption.
Here’s how PolyLevel works:
- Precision Injection: Small holes are drilled into the affected concrete slabs, and the PolyLevel foam is injected beneath the surface.
- Foam Expansion: The foam expands, filling voids and stabilizing the soil beneath the slabs. This gentle yet powerful lifting process raises the concrete back to its original level.
- Quick Curing: PolyLevel cures quickly, allowing you to use your driveway in just a few hours after the repair. The result is a smooth, even surface that looks as good as new.
- Crack Repair: Finally, we finish off the cracked driveway fix with long lasting, flexible joint and crack sealant.
PolyLevel might be more expensive upfront compared to traditional mudjacking or slabjacking. This is because it uses advanced foam that is durable, does not degrade over time, and highly effective in leveling concrete. Mudjacking relies on a heavy cement slurry that can further burden the soil and may not provide a lasting fix. PolyLevel delivers precise, long-term results with minimal disruption.
So, even though the upfront cost might be higher, PolyLevel can be more cost-effective in the long run, as it helps protect against future issues and extends the lifespan of your concrete.
Case Study: A Metro Vancouver Driveway Repair
This Metro Vancouver homeowner had a severely cracked and uneven driveway. The driveway had multiple cracks, and some slabs had sunk significantly, creating an uneven, unsafe and unattractive surface. At this point, one of the driveway slabs had cracked and sunken outwards so much that they could no longer park vehicles on top. The homeowner was concerned about the growing damage and wanted a reliable fix that would last.
Assessment: Upon inspection, we determined that the underlying soil had shifted due to water infiltration and poor compaction, causing the slabs to sink and crack.
Repair Process: We chose PolyLevel as the ideal solution for this repair. Our team drilled small holes in the affected areas and injected the PolyLevel foam. The foam expanded beneath the slabs, lifting and leveling them back to their original position. We also addressed the visible cracks by sealing them, ensuring a smooth, even surface.
Outcome: The driveway transformed within hours. The homeowner was thrilled with the results—a level, crack-free driveway. That not only enhanced the home’s appearance but also eliminated the safety hazards. Our repair process completed quickly, with minimal disruption to the homeowner’s routine. And the driveway was ready for use 15 minutes later. (Yes, even for driving vehicles)
