Get lasting driveway crack repair for homes & businesses across San Jose, San Francisco & the Bay Area
Your driveway should be safe, smooth, and built to withstand the Bay Area’s unique climate and soil conditions. But when cracks start appearing—whether hairline or wide enough to trip over—it’s time to take a closer look. Cracked concrete isn’t just an eyesore; it can signal deeper issues beneath the surface.
At Foundation Strategies & Construction, we provide trusted, long-lasting driveway repair solutions for homeowners, property managers, and commercial building owners throughout the Bay Area. If you’ve noticed cracks forming on your driveway or parking area, our experts are ready to inspect, diagnose, and repair the problem correctly the first time.
Driveway cracks can form for a variety of reasons—some harmless, others indicators of more serious structural concerns. In a region known for earthquakes, shifting soils, and heavy use, concrete surfaces face more stress than in most parts of the country.
Common causes include:
Ground Movement & Earthquakes
The Bay Area’s seismic activity often causes subtle shifts in the soil. Over time, that movement transfers to your driveway, leading to cracking, settling, and uneven slabs. Often, these cracks mirror broader issues around the property, including foundation movement.
Aging Concrete
Even the most well-built driveway will eventually show signs of wear. Sun exposure, foot traffic, and vehicle loads contribute to natural deterioration that results in cracking over time.
Heavy Loads & Commercial Traffic
If your driveway or parking surface supports heavier vehicles than it was designed for—delivery vans, work trucks, or construction equipment—concrete can buckle or fracture under the strain.
Expanding Roots & Burrowing Pests
Tree roots commonly disrupt driveways in San Jose, Mountain View, Sonoma, Fremont, and other areas where landscaping is mature. Roots push upward from below, lifting slabs and creating cracks or trip hazards.
Moisture Changes from Rain & Drought Cycles
California’s alternating wet and dry seasons cause the soil to expand, contract, and settle unpredictably—often leading to cracks, sinking sections, and separation between slabs.
No matter the cause, acting early prevents minor cracks from turning into major hazards. Our team can quickly identify the source and recommend the right repair strategy.
With 35+ years of experience, Foundation Strategies & Construction provides high-quality driveway repair for residential and commercial properties across the Bay Area. We restore the safety, appearance, and longevity of your concrete using proven, durable solutions.
Most repairs can be completed quickly and with minimal disruption to your home or business.
Every project begins with a detailed inspection to determine the cause of the cracking. Once we understand what’s happening below the surface, we choose the repair method that will deliver the longest-lasting results.
1. Polyurethane Injection
A premium solution ideal for filling deep cracks and stabilizing slabs. This material expands to fill voids, strengthens weakened areas, and prevents water intrusion.
2. Concrete Crack Filler & Sealants
Used for smaller cracks and surface damage. These products help prevent further deterioration and extend the life of your driveway.
3. Slab Lifting or Leveling (if needed)
When cracks are caused by sinking or uneven concrete, we may recommend solutions that re-level the slab to restore a smooth, safe surface.
Regardless of the method, our repairs are designed to last for years—not months.
