A homeowner in Portland, Oregon, noticed that their driveway had developed significant cracks over time. These cracks had worsened in recent months, likely due to the region’s freezing and thawing cycles, along with frequent rain. Not only did the damage detract from the driveway’s appearance, but the uneven surfaces also created a safety hazard, with tripping risks for both the homeowners and their guests.

Upon inspection, System Design Specialist, Austin Morton, found that the cracks had caused certain areas of the driveway to sink and shift. This shifting was likely due to moisture infiltration, which had led to soil erosion beneath the concrete. The cracks had deepened and widened, resulting in uneven slabs. Additionally, there were signs of pooling water in several areas, pointing to drainage issues that were contributing to the problem. These conditions not only made the driveway unsafe to walk on but also made it more prone to further deterioration. To address these issues, Austin recommended TerraFirma’s Concrete Leveling solutions, which included PolyLevel to lift and stabilize the concrete and NexusPro to seal the cracks and protect the surface from future moisture damage.

With the plan in place, TerraFirma’s crew quickly got to work, stabilizing the driveway, lifting the sunken slabs, and sealing the cracks. After the repairs, the driveway was restored to a smooth, even surface, safe from further damage. The homeowner was pleased with the outcome, now enjoying a driveway that was not only visually appealing but also secure and durable, ready to withstand Portland’s unpredictable weather.
