Sealing cracks and Joints Down Sierra, Vista in Arizona

In Sierra Vista, Arizona, the front porch of a residence is experiencing significant concrete cracking due to the compression or erosion of the underlying soil. These cracks are not only unsightly but also allow moisture to infiltrate beneath the slab, which can lead to further soil erosion and additional cracking. The aim of this project is to repair and seal the cracked concrete on the front porch to prevent further damage and restore its aesthetic appeal.

Team Members:

Foreman: Eduardo, who will oversee the entire project to ensure quality and efficiency.

Customer Care Representative: Aly, who will coordinate appointments and customer interactions.

Design Specialist: TJ, who will evaluate the problem areas and design the repair strategy.

Solution:

We will utilize NexusPro, a silicone-based sealant from Arizona Foundation Solutions, known for its long-lasting flexibility and resistance to harsh weather conditions. Unlike traditional sealants, NexusPro is UV-resistant and won't crack, bubble, or dry out, ensuring a durable repair solution.

Process:

Inspection: TJ will conduct an on-site evaluation to assess the extent of the damage on the front porch and determine the best repair approach.

Preparation: The crew, led by Eduardo, will drill and smooth the cracks, inserting a non-absorbent backer rod filler.

Application: NexusPro will be applied to seal the joints and cracks, providing a strong barrier against moisture and weather damage.

Finishing: A thin layer of native sand will be applied for a uniform and finished appearance.

Expected Outcomes:

The NexusPro solution is expected to provide a durable repair that enhances the front porch’s appearance and longevity. The sealed joints and cracks will prevent moisture infiltration and protect against soil compaction and washout.
