A homeowner in Lake Oswego, Oregon, noticed significant cracks forming in both their front patio and driveway. The concrete surfaces had shown signs of wear for some time, but the cracks had worsened over the past few months due to the combination of freezing and thawing cycles, along with the moisture from frequent rain. The damage was not just an eyesore but also posed a tripping hazard for the family and visitors, making it a safety concern. Worried about the increasing damage and the potential safety risks, the homeowner reached out to TerraFirma for a permanent solution.

System Design Specialist Zack Nellor came out and evaluated the property. He discovered that the cracks in the driveway had expanded and created uneven slabs, likely due to soil erosion beneath the concrete and moisture infiltration. The patio had similar damage, with deep cracks in some areas and noticeable settling, causing the concrete to slope in certain spots. There was also evidence of pooling water on both surfaces, indicating drainage issues that had likely contributed to the deterioration.

To resolve these issues, Zack recommended TerraFirma’s Concrete Leveling solutions, which included PolyLevel to lift and stabilize the concrete, and NexusPro to effectively seal the cracks. PolyLevel injections would fill the voids beneath the concrete and raise the slabs, restoring them to their original level. NexusPro would seal the cracks and prevent further moisture damage, ensuring the concrete remained intact and safe.

With the plan in place, the TerraFirma crew went to work and the homeowner’s patio and driveway were restored to a smooth, crack-free condition. The PolyLevel injection lifted and stabilized the concrete, while the NexusPro sealant provided lasting protection from water damage. The homeowner was relieved to have their surfaces not only looking like new but also safe for everyday use. The repairs were completed efficiently, and the homeowner could enjoy a safer, more durable driveway and patio—protected from future weather-related damage.
