Challenge
This summer, a homeowner in Universal City, TX, reached out to Baird Foundation Repair with concerns about the increasing separation in their driveway’s expansion joint. Given the harsh Texas summers, the homeowner was understandably worried about the potential consequences of leaving the issue unaddressed. Adding to the urgency, their homeowner’s association had signaled that residents were responsible for maintaining the sidewalk on their property, and some sections of it were settling, calling for an immediate and reliable fix.
Our Solution
Our expert team recommended our concrete protection system, a three-part solution using cutting-edge products.
The first part is our PolyLevel system, offering an innovative solution to replace traditional mud jacking. By injecting high-grade polymer foam beneath the slab, we lift, level, and permanently stabilize your sinking concrete. This lightweight, waterproof material remains durable even after heavy rainfall, ensuring reliable, long-lasting results.
The second component is our NexusPro joint sealant. Unlike typical urethane-based caulks, our silicone-blended sealant provides superior performance for filling the joints in your driveway and sidewalks. NexusPro excels in resisting harmful UV rays, and its enhanced flexibility ensures the seal remains intact despite fluctuating temperatures. This means you get long-lasting, durable protection.
The final step is our SealantPro application. With just one coat, this advanced sealant penetrates deep into the concrete pores and chemically bonds with the material, forming a clear, strong, and permanent barrier

We left the property cleaner than we found it, reflecting our commitment to exceptional customer service and enduring solutions.
