 A homeowner in Mesa, Arizona, reached out to Arizona Foundation Solutions about their cracked and sunken concrete driveway. The driveway had begun to sink due to soil compression and washout beneath the slab, leading to uneven surfaces and visible cracks.

After Project Description:

Project Title: Driveway Lift and Crack Repair with PolyLevel and NexusPro in Mesa, Arizona

Project Summary: The Arizona Foundation Solutions team, led by Foreman Anthony, successfully completed a driveway repair project in Mesa, Arizona. The homeowner initially contacted Customer Care Representative Nevaeh, who coordinated an on-site inspection with our Design Specialist [Assigned Specialist Name].

Problem Addressed: The concrete driveway had developed significant cracks and uneven surfaces due to soil compaction and erosion beneath the slab, causing it to sink. This not only created a tripping hazard but also compromised the driveway's appearance and structural integrity.

Solution Implemented: To address the sinking, we utilized the PolyLevel system, a high-density polyurethane foam that lifts and stabilizes the sunken concrete. First, small holes were drilled into the affected areas of the driveway, and the PolyLevel foam was injected beneath the slab. The foam expanded, lifting the slab back to its original position and providing long-term stability.

Following the slab lift, we repaired the cracks using NexusPro, a durable silicone-based sealant designed to withstand Arizona’s extreme temperatures and resist UV rays. The cracks were cleaned, smoothed, and filled with a non-absorbent backer rod before applying the NexusPro sealant. Finally, a thin layer of native sand was applied to give the driveway a clean, uniform appearance.

Outcome: The PolyLevel system effectively lifted and leveled the sunken driveway, eliminating the trip hazards and restoring its structural integrity. The NexusPro sealant provided a durable, weather-resistant repair for the cracks, ensuring the driveway remains protected from future damage. The homeowner was delighted with the results—a smooth, safe, and visually appealing driveway.

Advantages of PolyLevel and NexusPro:

PolyLevel: Quick, minimally invasive, and provides long-lasting stability

NexusPro: Durable, UV-resistant, and cures quickly (within 60 minutes)

Both solutions are designed to withstand extreme weather conditions and provide lasting protection

Conclusion: This project showcases the effectiveness of combining PolyLevel and NexusPro for comprehensive concrete repair. The homeowner now enjoys a fully restored driveway that is both safe and aesthetically pleasing, with long-term protection against future issues.
