What Is a Cracked Driveway? 

When your driveway starts to show cracks, seperations, or flaws, you’re dealing with a cracked driveway. Ranging from barely noticeable hairline fractures to alarming broad gaps, these imperfections aren’t only cosmetic concerns. They’re an accident waiting to happen. 

Observing these cracks might also hint at: 

• Cracked sidewalks 
• Deteriorating concrete patios 
• Unstable porches 
• Sunken concrete stairs 
• Damaged pool decks 
• Concrete pitting and general degradation 
• Sinking concrete slabs 

Don’t delay in seeking professional help. Foundation Recovery Systems recommends professional inspection and repair services at the first signs of wear and tear. 

What Causes Driveway Cracks? 

There are several factors can lead to a cracked driveway: 

• Soil Issues: When the ground underneath fluctuates or erodes, uneven stresses can result in cracks. 
• Plant Interference: Nearby tree roots can exert pressure on the concrete, causing it to break. 
• Climate Conditions: Heavy rains weaken the underlying soil while freeze-thaw cycles magnify pre-existing cracks. 
• Temperature Changes: Concrete naturally responds to temperature shifts by expanding and contracting. 
• Installation Defects: A poorly executed concrete job enhances susceptibility to damage. 
• Vehicular Pressure: Constant vehicular usage, especially heavy vehicles, can test the concrete’s endurance. 

Such factors, if ignored, can even jeopardize your home’s foundation. With Foundation Recovery Systems by your side, you’ll have guidance to navigate these challenges effectively. 

Can You Fix a Cracked Driveway? 

Yes! But remember, the more extensive the crack, the fewer your repair options are. Acting early is key. 

Traditional crack fillers or old-school mudjacking might offer a temporary solution. A permanent solution requires addressing underlying issues. With concrete lifting, Foundation Recovery Systems offers techniques to both lift and stabilize the failing soil beneath, promising a long-lasting repair. 

How to Fix a Cracked Driveway 

Here’s how Foundation Recovery Systems repairs your driveway: 

• Complete an initial inspection, identify the cause, and determine appropriate repair solutions like SettleStop™ PolyRenewal™.  
• Drill small, penny-sized holes into affected driveway areas.  
• Place injection ports in the holes.  
• Mix together a two-part, closed-cell polymer foam.  
• Inject foam under driveway slabs.
• The foam expands, filling any voids, and cures within 15 minutes.  
• The slab lifts and the soil is stabilized.  
• Remove injection ports and fill and smooth the drilled holes.  
• Apply sealant to cracks and joints to prevent further damage.  
• Regularly maintain and monitor your concrete driveway.  

Our proven specialized approach addressed the root cause, surpassing conventional methods. Our exclusive foam formula facilitates quick and exact concrete lifting, providing better longevity than traditional mudjacking and less disruption than total slab replacement.
