Don't Let an Unlevel Driveway Ruin Your Day.
Are you tired of dealing with a cracked, sunken concrete driveway detracting from your home's beauty and safety? It's time to take action and have it levelled.
Your driveway is vital to your home's curb appeal and overall value. When cracks start to form, or the surface becomes uneven, it's likely due to concrete settlement—a common issue faced by many in Medicine Hat. These cracks and irregularities not only detract from the appearance of your driveway but also pose safety risks, making tasks like shovelling, parking, and walking more challenging and hazardous.
While patching may seem like a quick fix, it's only temporary and won't address the underlying problem. Without proper intervention, cracks will persist, and your driveway may continue to sink over time. So, what's the solution? Enter polyurethane concrete levelling!
Polyurethane concrete levelling offers a lasting fix to driveway issues caused by concrete settlement. Our process is swift, efficient, minimally invasive, and eco-friendly. We start by drilling small holes in the slab's surface before injecting polyurethane foam underneath, which expands and lifts the slab back to its original position. Once the lifting is complete, we patch the injection holes, and your driveway is ready for immediate use—often within just a few hours!
If you're seeking a reliable way to restore your driveway's height and eliminate tripping hazards, polyurethane concrete levelling is the answer. Don't let a sunken and settled driveway cause further inconvenience. Contact Levicon Concrete Solutions today and reclaim the safety and aesthetic appeal of your driveway!
Why is my driveway sinking and settling?
Your driveway may be experiencing sinking and settling due to various factors, including inadequate drainage, erosion, the freeze/thaw cycle, and improper compaction during installation. If your driveway lacks proper drainage, water accumulation can occur, leading to subgrade erosion and surface cracks. Natural elements like excessive rain and wind exacerbate erosion concerns.
The freeze/thaw cycle is another culprit behind concrete settlement. As the ground freezes and thaws, soil movement creates voids beneath your driveway, resulting in sinking and settling over time. This gradual process can eventually lead to cracks and potholes, compromising the integrity of your driveway.
Inadequate compaction during installation is also a common cause of concrete settlement. Proper compaction ensures a stable foundation by eliminating air pockets and creating a solid base. If this step is overlooked or done improperly, the soil beneath your driveway may sink, settle, or collapse over time.
Other factors of concrete settlement include tree roots encroaching beneath the slab, vehicle traffic causing soil compaction issues or erosion, and damage from broken water or septic lines. Regardless of the cause, Levicon Concrete Solutions is here to swiftly restore your driveway to its original position, ensuring lasting stability and safety for your property.
