A cracked, sinking, or uneven concrete driveway is an eyesore, a tripping hazard, and could lower the value of your home. Mudjacking and other traditional methods might provide a quick fix. However, they don’t tackle the cause of damaged concrete, such as unstable soil and water saturation. You could replace your driveway, but that’s expensive, invasive, and also doesn’t address the underlying problem.

SettleStop™ PolyRenewal™, available in Alberta through Groundworks, provides a more affordable, longer-lasting concrete repair solution. This high-density polyurethane foam can lift and stabilize your driveway, increasing safety, curb appeal, and your property’s value. 

What Is Concrete Driveway Repair?

Inadequate soil, water saturation, freeze-thaw cycles, and expanding tree roots cause your driveway to crack, sink, or become uneven. Groundworks can repair can identify the root cause of this damage, lift and level the concrete surface, and make it safe and attractive again. 

PolyRenewal™ is a commercial-grade expanding polyurethane foam that we inject into settled concrete, sealing and removing visible cracks. It weighs less than standard concrete or mudjacking materials, cures in as little as 15 minutes, and withstands the elements.

Signs Your Concrete Driveway Needs Repair

We recommend repairing your driveway if you notice any of these problem signs:

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

Catching these issues and working with a concrete lifting specialist can prevent further deterioration and more expensive repairs.

Repairing your driveway offers the following benefits:

  • Stop Further Deterioration: Repairing cracks and lifting sunken parts of your driveway directs water away from your property, preventing additional soil erosion. 
  • Increase Safety: A smooth, even driveway reduces tripping hazards and prevents water accumulation.
  • Boost Curb Appeal: A well-kept driveway enhances the appearance of your home and potentially increases its worth. 

Groundworks provides customized repairs that tackle both the symptoms and the causes of your damaged concrete driveway.

The work done promptly by Ryan and his team (Eryica, Ny) was excellent with the driveway lift that was extremely necessary. The team did a great job being on time and within the time allotted to complete the work. Would recommend to others if they need a professional job done while being efficient. Thank you again!

We got 3 quotes for driveway lifting. These guys were competitively priced and had good reviews on google so we hired them. I’m glad we did! They were very friendly, professional, and efficient. They did a great job and cleaned up afterwards. When James and his partner came back to seal the joints, the service was just as good as the first team. Thanks again!

Vincent Augert was very thorough and upfront about the cost and warranty.
He was very easy to deal with and most importantly, we never felt pressure during the whole quoting process.

Excellent service. Sales was pleasant and quote was thorough enough to proceed. The crew that came out to excavate, and install the interior and exterior basement systems was absolutely top notch – their work was neat and tidy, they showed up on time, and worked hard. To top it off, they (and all the folks involved) have to be the most pleasant contractors I’ve ever dealt with – and this is house #5 for us over the years! Thank you, Basement Authority. Highly recommend.
