Severely Cracked Driveway Repaired in Ann Arbor, MI
A family in Ann Arbor, MI hit their breaking point with their driveway. It had been a tripping hazard for years but when it had started sloping towards the house, water was pooling and flooding the basement. The family wanted to fix the sidewalk to prevent things from getting worse and creating more issues. This was a wish not only for themselves but for the next homeowners as they plan to sell in the near future. So, they called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to learn more about what could be done.
One of HomeSpec’s project managers, Elon, went out to the home and provided a free inspection. He saw the severity of the cracking but knew this was a job HomeSpec could help with. He discussed a repair plan with the homeowners and informed them of the two products needed to fix their driveway. A foreman who specializes in PolyLevel® Injection Foam, like Fred, would drill holes through the concrete and use the foam to lift and level the sunken areas. Once the concrete was even, then the team would repair the cracks and joints using NexusPro sealant. The homeowners decided this was the best route for their driveway and scheduled HomeSpec out for the project. They were very happy to no longer have tripping hazards and to keep water away from the home’s foundation.

Concrete Driveway Repaired in Pleasant Ridge, MI
This homeowner contacted HomeSpec to get his concrete driveway repaired after putting it off for many years. Several slabs were sunken and cracked, causing a tripping hazard. He needed a permanent solution.
Our team used PolyLevel to solve this problem. We injected an expanding 2-part polymer rigid foam under the concrete slabs to raise and level them by filling in gaps caused by soil shrinkage and washout. Then we sealed all of the cracks and joints with our NexusPro sealant. Then the concrete was sealed with our SealantPro to protect and preserve it. This prevents discoloration, flaking, and cracking over time. The homeowner was so happy with how his driveway transformed!
Roseville, MI - Cracked and Sunken Driveway Lifted, Leveled, and Sealed
A homeowner in Roseville, MI decided that enough was enough and it was time to get their driveway fixed. Areas had sunken and plants were growing through the cracks. The unlevel concrete had caused damage to one of their cars. The homeowner wanted to leave the house to their son one day so the property needed this maintenance. They called HomeSpec Waterproofing and Foundation Repair for a free inspection.
The project manager, Noah, looked at all of the concrete on the property and came up with a plan. He explained to the homeowner that the majority of the concrete could be repaired instead of replaced. The sunken slabs could be lifted and leveled using PolyLevel® Injection Foam and the cracks could be sealed using NexusPro sealant. The homeowner approved of this plan and had HomeSpec schedule their crews. Domonique, the PolyLevel foreman, led the lifting and leveling process. Meanwhile, Rick, another foreman, led the process of pouring new concrete in two specific spots. Together, they were able to completely revive the driveway. The homeowner was happy with their work and knew there would be no further issues.
Troy, Mi Concrete Patio Leveling and Cracks Repair
Concrete is often poured over loose, weak or backfill soil during construction. Over time the soil can settle, shrink in dry condition or soften and wash away completely as water runs down joints and cracks. Here we can see a clear visual comparison at just how effective using a combination PolyLevel and NexusPro crack sealant is. 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. After using the PolyLevel system to address the immediate need, our crew would seal cracks and joints in the concrete slabs with NexusPro joint sealant to keep out water that could soften and was away the soil underneath to repeat the problem. Using these two in conjunction, provides a proper solution, that is long lasting and reliable.
