Driveway Repair

Has your driveway seen better days? Are huge cracks forming on its surface? You need driveway repair.

Innovative Basement Authority has the tools and expertise to help. Since 2005, we’ve been helping homeowners in the Midwest repair their concrete.

What is Driveway Repair?

Before (left) and after (right) driveway repair.

Driveway repair means fixing the cracks, dips, and damage on the driveway itself. With driveway repair, you create a smoother and safer driveway.

You won’t have to deal with bumps when parking your car or worry about tripping hazards in your front yard anymore. Driveway repair improves your property’s appearance and safety.

We use polyurethane foam to lift and repair driveways. The foam expands to fill any gaps and lifts the concrete when we inject it underneath. It becomes sturdy enough to support your driveway’s full weight in just 15 minutes

Signs You Need Driveway Repair

Concrete damage is annoying, but thankfully, it’s easy to spot. Here are signs that show you need driveway repair.

If you notice even just one of these signs, schedule a free inspection with Innovative Basement Authority Bay as soon as possible. The sooner repairs get done, the better.

We know home repairs are never fun. Finding the right solution can be tedious, making you wonder if it’s even worth the effort. Keep pushing, 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 walking to get the mail on a cracking, sinking driveway. Someone could trip and get a nasty injury.

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 Innovative Basement Authority, to make sure the job is done right.

    FAQs

    Concrete lifting is generally more affordable and less time-consuming than replacing the entire driveway, making it a preferable option for many homeowners. Concrete replacement also doesn’t address the root cause, the unstable soil, so cracking and sinking is likely to happen again. 

    Most driveway lifting projects can be completed within one day, though larger or more complex driveways may take longer. Each repaired slab, however, is ready for normal use within just 15 minutes.

    Regular inspections can help ensure no further sinking occurs. Addressing any drainage issues and repairing cracks can also help maintain the driveway’s integrity.
