Driveway Repair

When you own a home, your driveway is used almost every day. If damage pops up, it will get annoying real fast.

Don’t worry, it can be fixed—and Bay Area Underpinning has a leading solution. Since 2005, we’ve been helping homeowners in Northern California repair their concrete. Read on to learn how we provide your driveway with a lasting fix.

What is Driveway Repair?

Driveway repair involves fixing cracks, dips, and uneven areas in the concrete. Investing in driveway repair means really means investing in a smoother and safer driveway.

No more going over bumps when you park your car or worrying about tripping accidents in your front yard. With driveway repair, your property will look better and feel safer.

We use polyurethane foam to repair your driveway. Once injected under the concrete, the foam expands, fills gaps, and lifts the concrete all at once. In just 15 minutes, it’s strong enough to support the full weight of your driveway.

Signs You Need Driveway Repair

Driveway damage is easy to spot. Look out for these issues:

Cracking and uneven driveway in front of car.
  • Cracks of any kind, especially those exceeding ¼ inch in width. 
  • Uneven or sinking sections of the driveway. 
  • Water pooling only on certain sections of the driveway.
  • Surface damage such as pitting, flaking, or staining. 

If you notice even just one of these signs, schedule a free inspection from Bay Area Underpinning as soon as possible.

Is Driveway Repair Necessary?

We know that even thinking about repairing a driveway can be stressful. Finding the right repair option isn’t any easier, and you might be tempted to simply leave the issue be. However, believe use when we say, driveway repair is necessary.

Repairing your driveway makes your yard look better, and more importantly, it makes your home safer. Imagine trying to play with your kids or hang out with your neighbors on a cracking, sinking driveway. What could go wrong on that uneven surface?

Driveway repair is one of the best things you can do for your home, and it’s important to work with a professional team, like Bay Area Underpinning, to make sure the job is done right.

    FAQs

    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 growing tree roots. Heavy vehicles parked in the same place for extended periods can also cause driveways to sink. Contact Bay Area Underpinning for a free inspection to determine the source of the problem and the best solution.

    Remarkably, the PolyRenewal™ system cures within 15 minutes, allowing almost immediate use after installation, 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 functional again. Contact Bay Area Underpinning for a free inspection and estimate for concrete lifting repair.

    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, Bay Area Underpinning’s concrete lifting is cost-effective and longer-lasting. We provide free inspections, no-obligation estimates, transparent pricing, and financing options to fit your budget.

    Disclaimer: “Concrete leveling” means the process by which cracked, uneven concrete is stabilized, and in many cases lifted, by means of PolyRenewal™ polyurethane foam. Bay Area Underpinning does not guarantee that PolyRenewal™ can make your concrete perfectly level.
