Eliminating Concrete Driveway Settlement In Bethlehem, PA
Challenge
Over time, this Bethlehem, PA, homeowner began to notice troubling signs of concrete settlement around their driveway. Uneven slabs and visible sinking were not only affecting the property's curb appeal but also presenting potential tripping hazards and safety liabilities. With growing concern about the risk to family members and guests, the homeowner decided it was time to take action and contacted Quality 1st for a professional assessment and solution.
Solution
Our team responded promptly and conducted a comprehensive inspection to determine the cause and extent of the settlement. It was clear that shifting soil and voids beneath the concrete were responsible for the sinking sections of the driveway. Based on our findings, we recommended a customized repair approach using our patented PolyLevel Foam Injection System to lift and stabilize the slabs. To further protect the concrete and prevent future damage, we included the application of our UV-resistant NexusPro Joint Sealant, designed to block moisture and debris from entering joints and cracks. The repair process began with the precise injection of PolyLevel Foam through small, strategically placed holes in the concrete. As the foam expanded beneath the surface, it filled empty spaces and gently lifted the slabs back to their original level. Once the lifting was complete, our crew applied NexusPro to the joints and cracks, creating a waterproof, flexible seal that resists weathering and future erosion. The result was a smooth, safe, and structurally sound driveway. The homeowner was extremely satisfied with the outcome and relieved to know their driveway was not only restored but now better protected against future settlement.
