Our Concrete Driveway Slab Repair Services
Sunken Concrete Slab Lifting and Leveling
Sunken slabs make it hard to drive into your garage. They also create bumps where the driveway meets the sidewalk. We lift these slabs back to the right height. First, we drill small holes in the concrete. Next, we pump high density expanding polyurethane geopolymer foamunder the slab. We use a high pressure polyurethane injection gun with a digital flow meter to control the foam volume. This foam expands and lifts the slab. This work matches City of Sacramento Standard Construction Specifications Section 40.3.02 for driveway flatwork grade alignment. This rule keeps the slope safe and even.
Concrete Slab Joint Repair and Surface Restoration
Expansion joints are the seams between concrete slabs. These joints let the concrete expand in the hot summer. When the joints fail, dirt and weeds fill the gaps. Water also seeps through the open joints. We repair these seams to protect your driveway. First, we clean the joint walls. We use a heavy duty joint cleaning wire brush machine to clear all dirt. Next, we place a foam rod in the gap. We seal the top with Sikaflex 2c NS polyurethane elastomeric sealant. This meets ASTM D5893 standard specification for cold applied silicone and elastomeric joint sealants in concrete pavements.
Concrete Slab Surface Resurfacing and Concrete Overlay
Hot sun and rain can make the concrete surface peel and flake. This flaking is called spalling. It makes the driveway look old and dirty. We restore the surface without replacing the slab. First, we clean the concrete. We use a high performance concrete shotblaster with dust extractor to make the surface rough. Next, we apply a polymer modified cementitious concrete resurfacer over the slab. This creates a fresh gray finish. This process complies with ICRI Guideline No. 320.2R 2009 for concrete repair materials.
Concrete Slab Drainage Correction and Slope Adjustment
A driveway slab should slope away from your house. If the slab tilts toward your home, water will pool against your foundation. This pooled water can cause wet walls and basement leaks. We adjust the tilt of the slab to fix the drainage. First, we check the slope. We use an electronic grade transit level with a digital slope readout to check the angle. Next, we lift the slab to change the slope. We also use Mapei Planitop 18 rapid setting concrete repair mortar to smooth the joints. This work satisfies California Building Code Section 1804.8 for site grading and slab drainage.
Concrete Slab Crack Sealing and Structural Repair
Driveway cracks let water sink deep into the soil. This water softens the ground and causes more cracking. We fix these cracks to make the slab strong again. First, we clean and open the cracks. We use a crack routing saw with a diamond tipped blade to cut a clean path. Next, we inject a high modulus structural epoxy resin into the crack. The epoxy bonds the concrete pieces together. This restores the strength of the driveway. This process follows the ACI 302.1R 15 guide for concrete floor and slab construction.
Concrete Slab Void Filling and Soil Stabilization
Sometimes a slab looks flat but has no support underneath. Heavy rain or roots can leave empty spaces under the driveway. Slabs will collapse if they stay hollow. We find and fill these voids to protect the concrete. First, we test the soil stability. We use a penetrating ground conductivity probe kit to locate soft soil zones. Next, we pump a hydrophobic expanding geotechnical foam into the voids. The foam fills the spaces and stabilizes the ground. This satisfies Sacramento County Water Agency Code Section 7.2 for drainage protection and subgrade integrity.
