Before & After Photos

In the vibrant city of Phoenix, Arizona, a homeowner was confronted with a significant issue: a cracked and deteriorating driveway. What once was a smooth and inviting entrance to their home had become a series of unsightly and hazardous cracks. These cracks weren't just a visual nuisance; they were a potential risk for tripping and allowed moisture to penetrate, eroding the soil beneath and causing parts of the driveway to sink and shift. Recognizing the urgent need for a solution, the homeowner decided to seek professional help to restore their driveway’s integrity and appearance.

Cracks in driveways typically occur when sections of the concrete slab break and sink into underlying soil that has compacted or washed away. These cracks not only mar the driveway's look but also permit moisture to seep in, leading to further soil erosion and additional cracking. Traditional repair methods, like urethane caulk, are prone to drying out, cracking, and bubbling, which necessitates frequent reapplications.

The homeowner contacted Arizona Foundation Solutions, and Brianna, the Customer Care Representative, promptly scheduled an on-site inspection. Angel, the Design Specialist, evaluated the problem and recommended the advanced NexusPro solution for a lasting repair.

Under the expert guidance of Foreman Juan, the team set to work on the driveway. The repair process began with the preparation of the cracks: they were drilled, smoothed, and filled with non-absorbent backer rod filler. Following this, the NexusPro sealant was meticulously applied. NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant specifically formulated to endure harsh weather and UV rays, unlike traditional polyurethane sealants that fail over time. To complete the process, the cracks were finished with a thin layer of native sand, giving the driveway a seamless and polished look.

Durability: NexusPro withstands extreme temperatures and UV rays, preventing common issues like drying, cracking, and bubbling.

Quick Installation and Cure Time: The sealant can be applied year-round and cures in just 60 minutes, compared to the 24-72 hours required for traditional urethane-based products.

Aesthetic Improvement: The finished repair not only prevents further moisture infiltration and soil erosion but also stops unsightly weeds from growing through the cracks, maintaining the driveway's clean and uniform appearance.

Results:

The before and after difference was remarkable. The homeowner's driveway was transformed from a cracked, uneven surface to a smooth and visually appealing entrance. The NexusPro sealant provided a robust and aesthetically pleasing solution, ensuring the driveway's durability for years to come. The homeowner was delighted with the outcome, enjoying a safer and more attractive property with the confidence that future damage had been prevented.

The restoration process for the foundation slab of this historic Phoenix home involves utilizing innovative techniques such as PolyLevel, a lightweight expansive polyurethane solution. This method effectively fills any existing voids and elevates the floor slab to its optimal level.

To commence the repair, small 3/8” holes are carefully drilled into the exterior concrete slab. Through these access points, polyurethane grout is then skillfully injected directly beneath the slab surface. This process efficiently raises the slab to its Highest Practical Maximum, ensuring structural integrity and stability for the entire foundation.
