Cracked Driveway

Although it is a common issue, a cracked driveway is something that homeowners should not ignore. Not only does it affect the aesthetic appeal of your home, but it also poses a hazard that can impact the safety of your property and your family. 

Cracked and uneven driveway slabs can be a tripping hazard for anyone, especially those with mobility issues. Concrete cracks can also damage your vehicle and foundation. 

At Indiana Foundation Service, we understand the importance of addressing this problem. We offer state-of-the-art and reliable concrete lifting solutions that are effective and long-lasting. Our commitment to excellence provides homeowners the peace of mind they deserve, as we work to restore their property’s safety and beauty. 

If your driveway is cracking, your property may also have additional damage, including: 

• Cracked sidewalks 
• Cracked concrete patio 
• Sinking porch 
• Sinking concrete steps 
• Cracked pool deck 
• Concrete pitting, flaking, and staining 
• Sinking concrete slab 

There are several reasons why concrete driveways develop cracks, including: 

• Soil Problems: When the soil underneath the driveway settles or erodes, it creates uneven stress and leads to cracking. 
• Trees: Tree roots that grow underneath or near the driveway can exert upward pressure and cause cracks. 
• Precipitation: Excessive rain or flooding can erode and undermine the soil. 
• Other Weather Issues: The freeze-thaw cycles allow water to seep into cracks and expand when frozen. Concrete naturally expands and contracts with temperature fluctuations over time. 
• Construction Issues: Improper concrete pouring or curing during the initial construction can make driveways more vulnerable to damage. 
• Heavy Vehicles: The heavy weight of vehicles strains concrete driveways and the underlying soil, resulting in cracks and sunken slabs. 

These same factors that affect concrete driveways can also impact the foundation of your home. It is essential to address these issues promptly with a specialist like Indiana Foundation Service, who can provide the most effective solutions. 

At Indiana Foundation Service, we take pride in providing certified concrete driveway repair services tailored to meet your specific needs. Our friendly and knowledgeable team follows a meticulous process to ensure the best results: 

• We start by conducting a thorough inspection of your driveway to identify the underlying cause of the damage. 
• Based on our findings, we recommend the most suitable repair solution, such as our innovative SettleStop™ PolyRenewal™ system. 
• To begin the repair process, we carefully drill small holes in the affected areas of your driveway. 
• Next, we place injection ports in these holes, which allow us to inject a specially formulated two-part polymer foam. 
• This high-quality foam expands and fills any voids, effectively lifting the concrete slabs and stabilizing the underlying soil. 
• The foam cures within 15 minutes, ensuring a quick and efficient repair. 
• Once the slabs are lifted and the soil is stabilized, we remove the injection ports and fill and smooth the drilled holes. 
• We apply a sealant to cracks and joints to help further protect your driveway and prevent future damage. 
• We recommend routine maintenance and monitoring your concrete driveway to ensure longevity.
