Before & After Photos

Amanda, our Customer Care Representative, recently received a call from a homeowner in Tucson who was concerned about unsightly and potentially damaging cracks in their concrete driveway. During the call, Amanda gathered preliminary details and scheduled an on-site inspection with our Design Specialist, TJ, to assess the extent of the damage.

Upon inspection, TJ noted several cracks in the concrete slabs. These cracks had formed due to the natural sinking and compression of the underlying soil, which had allowed moisture to seep in, gradually causing further damage. Not only did this affect the driveway’s appearance, but it also posed a risk of future deterioration as the soil beneath continued to wash away or soften.

TJ explained to the homeowner that while DIY options like urethane caulk could offer a temporary fix, these solutions often dry out, crack, and bubble under Tucson's extreme weather conditions. Instead, he recommended NexusPro, a durable silicone-based sealant specifically designed to withstand UV rays, resist drying, and remain flexible for years.

Concrete Restoration with NexusPro in Tucson, Arizona

With the homeowner’s approval, our project foreman, Eddie, led a team in applying the NexusPro Crack Repair Solution to the concrete driveway. Our team began by preparing each crack, smoothing it out and filling it with a backer rod to ensure optimal adhesion. Once prepared, the NexusPro sealant was applied along the cracked areas, followed by a light layer of native sand to seamlessly blend with the surrounding concrete.

Thanks to the NexusPro sealant's quick curing time, the driveway was ready for normal use in just 60 minutes. Unlike traditional urethane solutions, NexusPro won’t be affected by Tucson's high temperatures or intense sunlight, ensuring long-lasting protection without the need for frequent reapplication.

The homeowner now enjoys a restored, polished driveway that will stay protected from future soil washouts and cracks. The NexusPro solution not only prevented further damage but also enhanced the curb appeal of their home, thanks to the smooth and uniform finish that resists cracking, bubbling, and UV damage.

This family down in Tucson, Arizona, was very worried about the longevity of their concrete, especially because of the many oil stains on it. They were looking for something to protect it from the arid summer in AZ. Additionally, the family wanted a fresh new look for their concrete without compromising the integrity of their concrete.

Under the guidance of foreman Eduardo, the family in Tucson, Arizona, addressed their concerns about their concrete's durability and appearance by opting for DecoShield concrete sealing services. Concerned about the oil stains and wanting to refresh the look of their concrete, they sought a solution that could protect against the harsh Arizona weather while providing aesthetic enhancement.

Before the project commenced, the family's concrete surfaces exhibited noticeable stains and signs of wear, detracting from the overall appeal of their home. However, after collaborating with Arizona Foundation Solutions and opting for DecoShield concrete sealer, the transformation was remarkable.

The translucent tinted sealer not only provided a protective barrier against moisture, chemicals, and UV rays but also imparted a visually appealing tint to the concrete surfaces, effectively minimizing existing stains and providing a uniform, refreshed appearance. Eduardo and his team meticulously followed the 4-step concrete sealing process, ensuring that the slabs were not only enhanced but also shielded for years to come.

The once dull and stained concrete surfaces now boast a rejuvenated look, complementing the family's home and significantly boosting its curb appeal. With the application of DecoShield concrete sealer, the worries about maintaining their concrete's integrity amidst the harsh Arizona climate have been alleviated. Now, they can confidently host summer barbecues and pool parties, knowing that their concrete surfaces are not only protected but also visually stunning.

By choosing DecoShield, the family not only addressed their concerns about stained concrete floors but also added a touch of elegance to their outdoor spaces. With a range of concrete stain colors to choose from, they achieved the perfect balance between functionality and aesthetics, creating a welcoming environment for themselves and their guests.

Cracked concrete occurred when a section of a concrete slab broke and sank into the underlying soil that had compressed or washed away. These cracks not only looked unappealing but also allowed moisture to seep beneath the slab, causing further soil softening or erosion. This led to additional cracking and sinking of the slab into the void created by the washed-away soil. To prevent moisture from seeping into the soil beneath, it was crucial to seal these cracks and the control joints that were cut between the slabs when they were first poured. Using urethane caulk from a DIY store was a temporary solution prone to cracking, bubbling, and drying out over time, necessitating frequent reapplications.

In Tucson, Arizona, a residential property experienced significant issues with a sunken and cracked driveway. The homeowners faced challenges parking their cars in the garage due to the uneven surface, and the cracked concrete posed safety hazards and detracted from the property's appearance. Before the repair, the driveway slabs were noticeably uneven and cracked, making parking difficult and unsafe as the driveway's uneven surface could damage the vehicles. Angel, the Design Specialist, conducted a thorough evaluation of the driveway, identifying that the soil beneath had compressed and shifted, causing the concrete slabs to settle unevenly. The cracks in the driveway allowed moisture to seep through, leading to further soil erosion and instability beneath the slabs.

Gamalier, the Foreman, oversaw the PolyLevel® injection process, which involved injecting a structural-grade geopolymer foam beneath the sunken slabs. This foam expanded to fill voids and strengthen the soil, lifting and stabilizing the concrete slabs. The quick curing time meant the driveway was ready for full use just 30 minutes after injection. Following the slab leveling, the team addressed the cracks using NexusPro, a silicone-based sealant. Amanda, the Customer Care Representative, coordinated the scheduling and ensured the homeowners were well-informed throughout the process. The cracks were prepared with a non-absorbent backer rod filler before applying NexusPro, which offered long-lasting flexibility and resistance to UV rays. After the repair, the driveway was level and stable, significantly improving the property's appearance and functionality. The sunken slabs were lifted back to their original positions, and the cracks were sealed, preventing moisture from seeping in and causing further damage. This comprehensive repair process resulted in a safe, even surface for parking cars and enhanced the overall safety and aesthetic of the property.
