Concrete Repair Before & After Photos

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.

A homeowner in Ann Arbor, MI needed help with their unlevel concrete. Slabs throughout the driveway, sidewalk, and garage had shifted throughout the decade since moving into this home.

He took measurements of the concerning areas and evaluated the integrity of the remaining areas as well. Afterward, he spoke with the homeowner to come up with a repair plan together. Elon explained that while critters may dig underneath the slabs, they are not the only cause of sinking concrete. The water from the downspout was causing soil to wash away. Elon suggested the repair consist of two parts, leveling the concrete and preventing it from sinking again. The leveling would be accomplished using PolyLevel® Injection Foam and NexusPro sealant would protect the joints. To further prevent soil from being washed away, Elon suggested extending the downspout and installing TrenchDrain™ Grated Draining Pipe.
