Lifting Sunken Concrete Driveway Pads

The options? (1) remove and replace the sunken and cracked concrete pad for an estimated cost of $6,000 (I got three estimates), (2) lift the broken pads at a cost of $2,500, (3) do nothing and hope that no one gets injured. Easy decision, don't you think?

Why repair? (1) Prevent possible injury from tripping, (2) stop the continued sinking and cracking of the concrete pads, and (3) improve the look of the driveway.

I had tripped on the raised edge separating two concrete driveway pads while getting out of the car several times since we purchased this 40-year-old house, and I was concerned for the safety of myself, my wife, our friends, visitors and elderly members of our family (my father is 94).

    An employee who needs to be lauded for his knowledge and interaction with the customer....good job...hope his boss sees this PAY RAISE!...
  • What a professional company and employee. He certainly is a fine ambassador.
  • Every company should take notes. That guy was excellent. Knowledgeable, friendly and thorough.

    No idea why I watched this. I live in a flat, in Scotland. We don't do concrete driveways! But something about that guys enthusiasm for his job kept me here to the end!
  • I'd hire that company to fix my driveway JUST because of that young man. He's an OUTSTANDING worker and his attention to detail and politeness are 2nd to none!
  • MATVEY, you must be very pleased to have an employee that's so highly qualified in so many areas. A pleasure to watch and learn. Thank you for this really informative and well made video.

  • @jaydenms2840
    That's one of the friendliest employees I've ever seen
  • @glenjamindle
    Sadly this is one of those guys that's too smart for the job he has and won't be there long. He is definitely an asset to any company he works for.
  • The tech is the man! Purest form of loving what you do is not a job! Keep up the superior customer service and home grown personality!
  • @davidjung3819
    Wow...a breath of fresh air to see a young person not afraid to use power tools or get his hands and pants dirty...welcome to the mens club! Very smart employee.
  • @csederlund
    The worker was very camera friendly. He explained everything in good detail but not so a layman couldn't understand.
  • @johnnyringo765
    That guy did a great job. Great attitude also. That's real customer service that you rarely see anymore these days.
  • Watching this fellow work was a pleasure. Focused, professional, skilled - a joy to behold. What he demonstrated can't be taught. You either have that pride in workmanship or you don't. Thanks for the video.
  • @alienc
    This guy is such a role model and who I aspire to be.
  • Damn I'm really impressed with the friendly employee...and how knowledgeable he was. Thank you for sharing this video!
  • @danielarias8311
    Great customer service skills. That should be their certified trainer
  • This guy is a genuine professional. He seems to know the reason behind every step during the fix. Fine work. Never knew that drive way slabs could be lifted and evened out. Great job.
  • Fixing the sunken slab is a job itself, but to clean up the excess and even plug those tiny holes like that is professionalism at its finest!
