Cracked concrete fixed with NexusPro

Cracked concrete happens when part of a concrete slab breaks and sinks into underlying soil that has compressed or washed away.

These cracks aren't just unsightly; they offer moisture a way to seep beneath the concrete slab. This can cause the underlying soil to soften or even wash away completely.

That, in turn, can cause the concrete slab to crack further as it sinks into the void left by the washed-away soil.

If you have cracked concrete and unprotected joints, you need a sealant that will protect your concrete by preventing water infiltration and moisture, minimize soil softening and erosion. The sealant must also seal the control joints that were cut between the slabs when they were first poured.

While you could attempt to seal your cracked concrete yourself with urethane caulk found at a local big-box DIY store, that is a solution with many disadvantages:

• Fails when exposed to sunlight and temperature changes
• Bond becomes brittle and rigid
• Deterioration lets in water and additional moisture
• Lack of proper installation, including deep cleaning, results in failure, mess and ineffectiveness

For these reasons, we recommend professional installation of a long-lasting product if you experienced cracked concrete. LRE Foundation Repair recommends and uses NexusPro.

NexusPro Installation

The NexusPro solution is installed by a highly-trained crew that specializes in concrete repair and protection. We follow a process for installation:

Address the cracks

First, the cracks are drilled, smoothed and prepared with non-absorbent backer rod filler.

Insert sealant

Then, the NexusPro sealant is inserted in the prepared crack or control joint.

Finishing

Finally, the cracks are detailed with a thin layer of native sand, giving the concrete a uniform, finished appearance. And, of course, sealed concrete cracks mean no unsightly weeds growing through.
