Cracked Driveway Concrete Slab

Driveway cracks that run across full slab panels typically indicate differential settlement rather than simple surface aging. One panel has dropped relative to an adjacent panel, placing the slab in tension until it fractures. Filling or sealing the crack without addressing the underlying settlement leaves the slab subject to continued movement and the repair fails within one or two freeze-thaw cycles. Concrete leveling raises the sunken panel, removes the differential stress, and creates the stable foundation needed for durable crack repair.
