Protecting A Home From Street Creep in Bellevue, NE

This homeowner came to us with a pressing concern: they wanted to prevent their concrete cracks from worsening and preserve the integrity of their property. Having just moved in a month ago, they noticed that the cracks were already getting worse. Our inspection revealed that the driveway was being pushed into the house due to a phenomenon known as "Street Creep." This occurrence, caused by the expansion and movement of the road, exerted pressure on the foundation, leading to cracking and compression issues.

To address this issue comprehensively, we implemented a series of solutions. Firstly, we stabilized the back patio, lifted the pads at the garage, and elevated the sidewalk leading to the front door. By utilizing our trusted Polylevel system, we ensured that the driveway and sidewalk were stable and level. Next, we applied Nexus Pro, a premium concrete sealant, to fill the existing cracks and prevent them from expanding further.

In addition to these measures, we took preventative steps by employing CompressionGuards. These guards act as protective barriers against long-term damage to concrete driveways, garage slabs, and foundation walls. By replacing the traditional fiberboard expansion joints with our engineered expansion joints, we ensured that the concrete could flex and accommodate seasonal changes without compromising its integrity.

Their property is now safeguarded against further cracking and damage, allowing them to enjoy their new home for years to come.
