In Locust Grove, VA, a homeowner faced a common but critical issue: a sinking and uneven driveway. Over time, their concrete driveway had settled, resulting in large cracks, visible gaps, and an unsightly appearance. More importantly, the damage was becoming a serious tripping hazard, raising concerns about safety and potentially lowering the property's curb appeal and value.
Worried about the risks and the long-term effects of the problem, the homeowner turned to NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair, a trusted local expert in concrete lifting and stabilization. Our Customer Care Specialist quickly scheduled an on-site assessment at a time convenient for the homeowner.
Once on-site, our System Design Specialist carefully inspected the damaged driveway, identified the root causes of the concrete settlement, and recommended a customized concrete repair solution. Rather than opting for a temporary patch or costly full replacement, we proposed a faster, more cost-effective fix: the PolyLevel® concrete leveling system.
This advanced method involves drilling small, pea-sized holes into the slab and injecting a lightweight, high-density polyurethane foam beneath the surface. The expanding foam fills voids in the soil and gently lifts the concrete back to its original position. This not only corrects uneven surfaces but also stabilizes the soil to prevent future sinking.
To finish the job and extend the life of the repair, our team applied NexusPro® Joint Sealant to seal all cracks and joints in the slab. Unlike traditional caulks or fillers, NexusPro is UV-resistant, highly flexible, and built to withstand extreme weather conditions, ensuring a watertight seal that looks clean and professional.
The results speak for themselves: the driveway was safely and evenly restored with minimal disruption. The homeowner was thrilled with the transformation—no more trip hazards, unsightly cracks, or concerns about further damage. The surface was once again level, safe, and visually appealing.
