The homeowners were unhappy with their cracked driveway, so they decided to call us, Frontier Basement Systems, to give them a free inspection and estimate. After hearing all about our concrete products, they were sold!
Our crew first needed to lift the sunken concrete slabs with PolyLevel.
PolyLevel is an expanding polyurethane foam that is injected beneath the concrete to fill the gaps caused by soil erosion and raise and stabilize the concrete surface. It can also strengthen and stabilize loose soil
To solve the concrete's crack issue, our crew sealed the cracks with NexusPro.
NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks specially engineered to provide long-lasting flexibility and to stand up to harsh weather conditions. Unlike traditional polyurethane sealants, NexusPro resists UV rays, which means it won't crack, bubble or dry. It fits into homeowners' busy lifestyles, too - drying time is a fraction of that needed for other urethane-based caulking products.
The homeowners no longer need to worry about their driveway becoming an awful eye sore or getting any worse thanks to our reliable products!

This Tennessee homeowner had noticed cracks appearing on the concrete slab outside of his shed.

But this slab had other issues.. there was a void due to a groundhog digging underneath!

Specialized equipment will be used to inject the polymer foam under the slab to lift and stabilize it.
Repairing cracks in your concrete can prevent more serious problems from developing. Here at Frontier, we use materials that are long-lasting for a more permanent solution.
When concrete fails, the signs can be as obvious as an entire slab that sunk. Or they may be as subtle as tiny spider cracks on the surface. In any case, it's helpful to have a concrete expert examine your home to determine what needs to be done to fix your concrete issues permanently.
In this case, the slabs were a little uneven causing a tripping hazard and the slabs were never sealed together upon installation. These open cracks can cause ugly cracks down the road from water infiltration softening the soil under the slab.
Our crew used PolyLevel foam to lift the settled slabs and NexusPro sealant to seal the cracks.
