A homeowner in Cave Creek, Arizona, contacted Arizona Foundation Solutions after discovering large cracks forming in their back patio. The cracks were a result of the underlying soil shifting and washing away, leaving the concrete unsupported. Over time, these cracks not only became unsightly but also posed a risk of moisture seeping beneath the slab, leading to further soil erosion and instability in the concrete.
After speaking with Amanda, our Customer Care Representative, the homeowner scheduled an on-site inspection. Design Specialist Brandon visited the property and assessed the back patio. He confirmed that the cracks were allowing water to infiltrate the soil underneath, potentially worsening the erosion and causing more significant damage. To resolve the issue, Brandon recommended the installation of our NexusPro solution, a silicone-based sealant that offers long-term durability and protection against Arizona’s harsh weather conditions.
Following Brandon’s assessment, the repair project was overseen by Foreman Anthony and his expert crew. They began by preparing the back patio for the NexusPro application. The cracks were cleaned, smoothed, and filled with a non-absorbent backer rod to ensure a consistent seal.
Next, the team applied the NexusPro sealant to the cracks and control joints. This advanced sealant is specifically designed to handle extreme temperatures and UV exposure, ensuring that the patio’s cracks would remain sealed and protected for years to come. Anthony’s crew finished by applying a thin layer of native sand over the sealed cracks to create a smooth, uniform appearance that blended with the rest of the patio.
Thanks to NexusPro's fast cure time (just 60 minutes), the back patio was restored quickly, minimizing inconvenience for the homeowner. This long-lasting solution will protect the patio from further cracking, moisture damage, and soil erosion, preserving its structural integrity and aesthetic appeal.
