Settled Driveway Repair in Streator, IL
Challenge
This homeowner in Streator, IL, faced a growing problem: their concrete driveway slabs were uneven and riddled with cracks that seemed to worsen with each change in weather. This wasn't just an eyesore; it was a constant reminder of a potential tripping hazard, disrupting their dream of a safe and sturdy outdoor space. The sagging concrete was a clear sign that a solution was needed to restore both the functionality and appearance of the property.
Solution
Following an inspection our System Design Specialist confirmed that a precise approach was necessary, recommending a solution centered around two key technologies: the PolyLevel and NexusPro systems. We began by drilling small, pea-sized holes into the affected concrete. Through these holes, our PolyLevel system was carefully inserted. This system injects a high-strength polyurethane foam beneath the concrete, powerfully yet precisely lifting and stabilizing the sunken slabs back to their original, proper height. The expanding action of the PolyLevel foam fills the voids beneath the slab, providing a stable and long-lasting lift. Once the concrete was level, our team applied NexusPro Joint Sealant to all the remaining gaps and cracks. Unlike typical urethane-based sealants, NexusPro is a robust, UV-resistant sealant that provides a durable and aesthetic finish. NexusPro is designed to flex with the concrete, preventing future water infiltration from undermining the newly restored surfaces. Its long-lasting formula offers a superior solution compared to traditional fillers. In a short amount of time, the homeowner’s concrete surfaces were completely transformed. The space was now level, secure, and visually pleasing, eliminating both the eyesore and the tripping hazard.
