What is Driveway Repair?

Restoring a concrete driveway involves fixing damaged, cracked, or sunken areas to improve its stability and appearance. Usually, this is done with concrete lifting, and some methods are more effective than others.

Traditional methods like mudjacking, concrete repair, or complete driveway replacement are invasive, costly, and often fail to solve the root issues. Instead, a modern solution, polyurethane injection, is the best way to level a driveway.

Ohio Basement Authority uses PolyRenewal™, our exclusive polyurethane solution. With a curing time of only 15 minutes and a fast installation process, this technique quickly addresses the underlying causes behind concrete damage. See the video for a glimpse into how it works.

Signs Your Driveway Needs Repair

It’s important to address driveway problems before they worsen. Signs that your concrete driveway needs repair include:

Visible Cracks: Various cracks or large fissures wider than ¼”.
Unevenness: Sinking slabs or dipping areas of the driveway.
Pooling Water: Water accumulation in certain spots on or near the driveway.
Crumbling Edges: Deteriorating sides and edges.
Related Damage: Pitting, flaking, or staining on the concrete’s surface.

Early detection prevents safety issues, further damage, and costly repairs. Contact Ohio Basement Authority for effective driveway repair solutions you can trust.

FAQs

What causes concrete driveways to sink?

Concrete driveways sink, crack, and sustain other damage due to erosion beneath the slabs caused by expansive soil, soil instability, water intrusion from cracks, and freeze/thaw cycles. Heavy vehicles parked in the same place for extended periods can also result in driveway sinking. Contact Ohio Basement Authority for a free inspection to determine the source of the problem and the best repair solution.

How quickly can I use my driveway post-repair?

Remarkably, the PolyRenewal™ system cures within 15 minutes, allowing almost immediate use post-repair, ensuring minimal disruption to your routine. This is more efficient than methods like repouring or mudjacking, which can take several days to cure before the driveway is operational again.

What is the cost to repair a concrete driveway?

Costs vary depending on the extent of damage, the size of the repair area, and the type of repair required. While traditional repairs like mudjacking and repouring can be expensive, Ohio Basement Authority’s concrete lifting is cost-effective and longer-lasting.
