Driveway Repair in Cottonwood Heights

From Hazardous to Hassle-Free: How Davenport Foundation Repair Restored a Home's Concrete Stability in Cedar City, UT

At first, the homeowners noticed only a few small cracks in their driveway. But over time, those minor imperfections turned into large gaps and sinking slabs, making their property not only unsightly but also dangerous. Their garage floor had become noticeably uneven, and their carport had sunk by nearly three inches, creating a serious tripping hazard.

Beyond aesthetics, these issues raised serious concerns. Every time it rained, water seeped into the cracks, threatening to erode the soil beneath and worsen the problem. The homeowners knew that if left unaddressed, the damage could compromise the structural integrity of their home and reduce property value. They needed a long-term fix—not just another temporary repair.

Exploring Repair Options

Determined to solve the problem, the homeowners started researching their options. They initially considered DIY solutions, looking into store-bought sealants and self-applied fillers. However, they quickly learned that urethane-based products tend to crack, dry out, and deteriorate over time, meaning they would have to reapply them frequently.

They also explored traditional mudjacking, a process that injects a heavy slurry beneath the slab to lift it. However, after learning that mudjacking can break down over time, they realized it wasn’t the permanent solution they needed. Frustrated with limited options, they searched for an expert team that could provide a professional, lasting repair.

Choosing Davenport Foundation Repair

After reading customer reviews and case studies, the homeowners discovered Davenport Foundation Repair. They were impressed by the company’s expertise and reputation for delivering high-quality, long-term solutions.

Davenport’s team conducted a free inspection, thoroughly assessing the sinking and cracking issues. They explained that the damage was caused by soil compression and washout, creating voids beneath the concrete. Unlike other contractors who only suggested surface repairs, Davenport provided a comprehensive plan that would lift, level, and protect the concrete from further damage.

The recommended solution included:
✅ PolyLevel® Injection Foam to lift and stabilize the sinking slabs
✅ NexusPro Sealant to permanently seal the cracks and prevent moisture intrusion

Confident in Davenport’s expertise and transparent approach, the homeowners agreed to move forward with the repairs.

The Repair Process

Davenport Foundation Repair’s team arrived promptly and completed the project in just one day, minimizing disruption.

Step 1: Concrete Lifting with PolyLevel®

  • The crew drilled small, precise holes in the sunken slabs.
  • PolyLevel® foam was injected, expanding to fill the voids beneath and gently lifting the concrete back to its original position.
  • Unlike mudjacking, PolyLevel® is lightweight, durable, and won’t degrade over time.
  • The lifting process was completed in a matter of hours, with no heavy equipment or messy disruption.

Step 2: Crack Sealing with NexusPro

  • All existing cracks and joints were thoroughly cleaned and prepped.
  • NexusPro, a silicone-based sealant, was applied to create a flexible, weather-resistant barrier.
  • Unlike traditional urethane caulk, NexusPro resists UV exposure, meaning it won’t dry out or crack.
  • A thin layer of native sand was applied for a seamless finish, making the repaired areas blend naturally with the surrounding concrete.

A Smoother, Safer Space

By the end of the day, the transformation was clear. The once-sinking concrete was now fully level, eliminating the tripping hazards and restoring the home’s curb appeal. The cracks were permanently sealed, preventing future water damage and ensuring that the underlying soil remained stable.

With NexusPro curing in just 60 minutes, the homeowners could use their driveway and garage the same day—without worrying about extended downtime.

Why Timely Repairs Matter

This project proved how important it is to act early when concrete problems arise. If the homeowners had waited any longer, the sinking could have worsened, leading to more costly and invasive repairs. By addressing the issue now, they not only protected their home’s structural integrity but also saved thousands in potential future costs.

Davenport Foundation Repair provided a lasting solution, giving the homeowners peace of mind that their concrete surfaces would remain strong and stable for years to come.
