CONCRETE DRIVEWAY REPAIR

Polyethylene Foam Cures in Minutes!

Polyurethane foam jacking uses smaller holes and puts less stress on the ground than traditional mud jacking.

At Boost Concrete Lifting, we can help you fix uneven concrete slabs efficiently and effectively, for less time and money than other solutions like mud jacking or replacing the concrete section entirely. Polyurethane foam is pumped below an uneven concrete slab, raising it back to level. The polyurethane material is eco-friendly, lighter than other materials used to level concrete, and it lasts.

Can you repair a badly cracked concrete driveway?

Yes, a badly cracked concrete driveway can be repaired. The repair process will depend on the severity and extent of the cracks.

For small cracks, you can use a concrete patching compound. This compound can be applied directly to the cracks, and it will fill in the gaps and prevent further damage. Make sure to clean the area thoroughly before applying the patching compound and follow the instructions on the product carefully.

For larger cracks, you may need to use a concrete resurfacer. This product is designed to be applied to the entire surface of the driveway and will fill in any cracks or holes. It will also provide a smooth surface that looks like new. Again, make sure to clean the surface thoroughly before applying the resurfacer.

If the cracks are very large or if there is significant damage to the driveway, you may need to replace it entirely. This can be a costly and time-consuming process, but it will ensure that your driveway is safe and functional.

In any case, it is recommended that you consult with a professional concrete contractor to assess the damage and recommend the best course of action for repairing your badly cracked concrete driveway.

What is the best way to fill a deep hole in concrete?

The best way to fill a deep hole in concrete is to use a concrete mix. Here's how you can do it:

Clean the hole: Remove any loose debris, dirt, or dust from the hole using a wire brush, broom, or vacuum.
Wet the hole: Dampen the hole with water to create a better bond between the new concrete and the old concrete.
Mix the concrete: Mix the concrete according to the manufacturer's instructions, either by hand or using a mixer. You can use a pre-mixed concrete or mix your own using cement, sand, and water.
Fill the hole: Pour the mixed concrete into the hole, leaving some space at the top for a finishing layer.
Smooth the surface: Smooth the surface of the concrete with a trowel or float, making sure it's level with the surrounding concrete. You can also use a concrete finishing tool to create a smooth finish.
Let it cure: Allow the concrete to cure for at least 24 hours before walking or driving on it.

Note that if the hole is very deep, it may be necessary to fill it in layers, allowing each layer to cure before adding the next layer. It's recommended to consult with a professional if you're not comfortable doing the repair yourself or if the hole is too large or complex to repair on your own.

Can you recover a concrete driveway?

Yes, it is possible to put another layer of concrete over an existing concrete driveway. This is known as a concrete overlay or resurfacing. The process involves preparing the existing concrete surface by cleaning it thoroughly and repairing any cracks or damage. Once the surface is clean and smooth, a thin layer of fresh concrete is applied over the top.

It's important to note that the existing concrete surface must be structurally sound and free of major cracks or damage for a successful overlay. Any issues with the underlying structure may need to be addressed before the overlay can be applied.

Additionally, it's recommended to consult with a professional concrete contractor for an overlay or resurfacing project, as proper preparation and application are key to achieving a long-lasting and durable result.
