Driveway Leveling
What Causes Driveway Concrete to Sink?
If you live in a home long enough, you eventually notice signs of decay in your driveway. If you’re lucky, this may take the form of driveway settlement- also referred to as driveway sinking- which is when a driveway slab lowers, but generally does not crack. This is caused by a failure to properly prepare the soil prior to pouring a concrete slab, or due to erosion underneath the concrete. In either case, the driveway is settling because of improper soil density underneath the concrete. While this is an annoying problem to have, it is easy and quick to fix!
Concrete Driveway Leveling With JACKCRETE
JACKRETE’s driveway leveling experience is extensive- in fact, it’s how we got started. That was a long time ago. Hundreds of fixed driveways later, we’re still helping homeowners, businesses, and government installations eliminate their trip hazards and protect their concrete. We’ve also repaired entire loading docks for warehouses and driveways for fire stations! Simply put, no job is too big or too small for the JACKCRETE team.
Repairing Sunken Driveway Slabs
Driveway slabs are the perfect size for our method of repair. As our material expands underneath the concrete, the gaps in the soil that have been allowing the driveway slabs to sink are filled in and reinforced. Once the soil is properly compacted, the driveway slab begins lifting back up to its original position. The entire process usually takes about an hour and can be completed without any downtime. At most, you may have to move your vehicle while we work. Once our crew wraps up, you can move it back to your driveway immediately.
Driveway Repair for Other Concrete Issues
If your concrete has settled, we can almost always provide a solution. Even if there are a few cracks in your concrete, JACKCRETE will work just fine. If there is excess cracking, spalling, or lifting due to nearby tree roots, we may be unable to help. Tree root issues can be fixed by either lifting or grinding, with height differences above 1.5 inches usually requiring replacement. If you are unsure if JACKCRETE can help you, just give us a call! Our team will be able to guide you in the right direction, even if it’s not with us.
