Cracked Driveways & Parking Lots

Q: My driveway sank near the garage after heavy rain — can it be leveled without replacing the whole thing?

Yes. For sinking or uneven driveways, concrete lifting with polyurethane foam injection offers a fast, non-invasive fix. LUX technicians inject lightweight, expanding foam beneath the slab to fill hidden voids and re-level it in minutes. This method stabilizes weak sandy soil, prevents further cracking, and eliminates trip hazards — ideal for Florida’s rain-soaked conditions and high water tables.

Q: We keep sealing small driveway cracks, but they always return — how can we stop them permanently?

Surface cracking often worsens when moisture keeps seeping in. LUX uses industrial-grade concrete caulking to seal and fill cracks in driveways, joints, and minor fractures with flexible, weather-resistant material that expands and contracts naturally. This prevents water intrusion, weed growth, and surface deterioration — protecting your driveway or parking lot from future cracks and erosion in Florida’s humid climate

Q: Our driveway looks dull and keeps staining from rain runoff and cars. Would sealing it actually help in Florida?

Florida’s heat, storms, and high humidity put concrete under a lot of stress. Without a proper seal, moisture and road chemicals soak into the surface and speed up cracking. LUX Foundation Solutions applies professional-grade Prime Protect SWR concrete sealers that protect against water intrusion, oil and rust stains, and UV damage. Sealing also improves traction when it’s wet and keeps your driveway looking cleaner and newer, even through harsh weather.

Q: How to repair holes in a concrete driveway?

Small holes can be patched, but recurring ones usually mean the soil underneath is weak. LUX Foundation Solutions will assess your driveway first to find what’s causing the damage. If soil erosion is the issue, we use polyurethane foam injection to fill voids , stabilize the base, and prevent future sinking — ensuring a smooth, durable surface.

Q: How to repair large cracks in a concrete driveway?

Large cracks often point to uneven settlement or water intrusion. LUX will inspect your driveway’s structure and soil to confirm the source. When movement is detected, we use foam injection to lift and level the concrete , then apply flexible concrete caulking to seal gaps — stopping moisture and restoring a clean, even finish.

Q: When to worry about cracks in a driveway?

If cracks widen, become uneven, or collect water after Florida rain, it’s time to act. LUX Foundation Solutions will inspect your concrete first to see if the slab is shifting or settling. When we confirm movement, we use polyurethane foam leveling to restore balance and protect your driveway from deeper cracking or trip hazards.

Q: Can you sell a house with a cracked driveway?

You can, but visible cracks can lower your home’s value and deter buyers. LUX offers a free assessment to check whether the damage is cosmetic or structural. We repair driveway cracks using foam lifting and caulking methods that improve appearance, safety, and resale appeal — helping your Florida home make the best first impression.

Q: How much does it cost to repair a cracked driveway?

Costs vary depending on damage depth and soil conditions. LUX Foundation Solutions always assesses the area before recommending the most cost-effective solution. Most Florida homeowners save money with polyurethane foam injection , which lifts and stabilizes concrete — fast, clean, and long-lasting.

Noticing cracks in your concrete driveway or parking lot? In Florida’s humid, sandy conditions, small cracks can quickly grow into uneven, unsafe surfaces. Learn what causes driveway cracking and how LUX Foundation Solutions restores smooth, durable concrete built to last in Florida’s climate.

What is a Cracked Driveway?

A cracked driveway forms when concrete expands, contracts, or settles unevenly due to Florida’s sandy soil and humid climate. What may start as small surface lines can grow into wide gaps that collect water, cause tripping hazards, or damage your vehicle’s tires.

Over time, moisture seeps beneath the slab, leading to uneven or sunken sections that affect your home’s curb appeal and safety. Even small driveway cracks can lead to sinking sections or uneven concrete surfaces if left untreated.

With years of local experience, LUX Foundation Solutions provides expert concrete inspections and precision repair services tailored to Florida’s soil and climate. Our specialists ensure your driveway stays stable, smooth, and built to last through shifting conditions.

Signs of Cracked Driveways & Parking Lots in Florida Homes

Cracked driveways and parking lots in Florida often show early warning signs before major damage occurs. While a few small cracks might seem harmless, they can quickly spread under constant sun, rain, and shifting sandy soil. Look for these visible and surface-level changes:

Hairline cracks forming across your driveway or parking lot surface.
Widening or spreading cracks that deepen after heavy rainfall or temperature shifts.
Uneven or sunken slabs where one section dips lower than another.
Water pooling in cracks or joints after storms — a sign of poor drainage.
Flaking or chipping concrete — show that moisture has penetrated the surface, weakening the slab.
Grass or weeds growing through cracks, signaling soil movement underneath.

If your driveway or parking lot shows these signs, it’s time for a professional assessment. LUX Foundation Solutions provides expert assessments and concrete lifting services across Florida to restore smooth, level surfaces that last.

What Causes Cracked Driveways & Parking Lots in Florida?

Cracked driveways and parking lots are common across Florida’s neighborhoods, especially where sandy soil and moisture meet heavy use. These cracks often start small but reveal bigger issues beneath the surface. Here are the main causes to watch for:

Soil Erosion and Settlement

Florida’s loose, sandy soil easily washes away during storms or flooding, leaving air pockets beneath the concrete. As the ground settles unevenly, the slab loses support, leading to cracking and sinking in driveways and parking lots.

Poor Drainage and Standing Water

Improper grading, clogged drains, or short downspouts allow rainwater to pool across pavement surfaces. Constant moisture seeps into the concrete, softens the soil underneath, and creates pressure that causes visible cracks and uneven pavement.

Tree Roots and Vegetation Growth

Tree roots beneath driveways or parking lots expand as they grow, forcing the concrete upward. Over time, this pressure creates jagged cracks or raised edges, while decaying roots leave voids that weaken support.

Poor Installation or Weak Concrete Mix

Concrete that was mixed too thin, poured unevenly, or cured improperly becomes brittle over time. Florida’s heat and humidity worsen this issue, making the surface more prone to cracking, flaking, and separation between sections.

When driveway or parking lot cracks appear, they’re rarely random — they’re signs of deeper instability below the surface. LUX Foundation Solutions uses advanced diagnostic tools and Florida-tested repair systems to identify the source of cracking and restore durable, even concrete that stands up to traffic, weather, and time.
