Challenge

Concerned by noticeable sinking and cracking around their driveway, a homeowner in Little Egg Harbor Twp, NJ recognized the potential safety risks and declining curb appeal of their property. Uneven concrete not only created tripping hazards but also posed a long-term threat to the structural integrity of the area. Wanting a reliable and cost-effective solution, they reached out to Quality 1st for a professional assessment.

Solution

After performing a detailed inspection, our team identified the root cause as ongoing concrete settlement, often the result of weak or eroding soil beneath the surface. To correct the issue, we recommended a targeted repair plan that included our high-performance PolyLevel Foam Injections to lift and stabilize the sunken slabs. This lightweight, expanding foam quickly fills voids and raises the concrete without the disruption of full replacement. To complete the repair and protect the area from future damage, we applied our UV-resistant NexusPro Joint Sealant. Designed to prevent water infiltration and withstand weather exposure, this sealant keeps moisture from eroding the soil below, ensuring long-term durability. The result was a smooth, level, and polished driveway that not only restored safety but greatly improved the overall appearance of the home.

Over time, rainwater and moisture seeped through cracks and joints, washing away the supporting soil and creating voids, causing the concrete to sink and shift unevenly.

To restore this sunken driveway, our crew injected PolyLevel Foam beneath the concrete slabs. As the foam expanded, it filled hidden voids in the soil and gently lifted the slabs back to a level position, eliminating tripping hazards and preventing further settlement.

Next, in order to protect and restore this homeowner's driveway, our crew applied NexusPro Joint Sealant to the cracks and joints. This durable, UV-resistant sealant prevents water from seeping beneath the slabs, helping to stop further soil erosion and concrete settlement while giving the surface a clean, finished look.
