Concrete Repair Photo Album: Concrete Repair in Adams, TN

A home in Adams, TN was experiencing an unlevel and cracked driveway, indicative of underlying soil issues and structural weakness. The driveway's cracks and unlevel surface were caused by poorly compacted soil, leading to voids that undermined the concrete's stability. To address these issues, the repair process began with the preparation of the cracked areas, involving precise drilling to create access points for the injection of PolyLevel. This high-density polyurethane foam was injected to lift and level the concrete slabs by filling the voids beneath them. After achieving the desired level, Nexus Pro, a specialized joint sealant, was used to seal the joints and cracks. This sealant not only prevents water infiltration but also enhances the durability of the repair. The combination of PolyLevel lifting and Nexus Pro sealing ensured the stabilization and long-term integrity of the repaired driveway.

Pre-Repair

The original state of the driveway prior to any repair work. The surface shows signs of wear and tear, including cracks and uneven patches, which highlight the need for restoration.

Unlevel Concrete

Such unlevelness typically occurs due to several factors, including soil erosion, improper installation, or inadequate curing during the initial construction. Changes in weather conditions and ground settling can further exacerbate the problem, leading to the visible undulations and cracks.

Cracked Concrete

The driveway marred by cracks, revealing the detrimental effects of poorly compacted soil. The voids under the concrete surface create instability, leading to the formation of cracks as the concrete settles unevenly over time. The growing gaps highlight the importance of proper foundation preparation to prevent such structural issues.

Preparing for PolyLevel Injection

Experts drill precise holes into the concrete surface, a crucial step before the PolyLevel foam can be injected. The drilling ensures that the foam reaches all necessary areas beneath the concrete, filling voids and lifting the slab back to its original level. This preparation is essential for achieving a stable and durable repair, effectively addressing issues caused by soil erosion and settlement.
