How Do I Fix Water Pooling in My Driveway?

A homeowner we recently helped in Plymouth, MI loved her home but was ready to refresh its aging concrete driveway and patio. Years of settlement had left the concrete cracked, uneven, and holding water after every rain. She contacted Ayers for a free estimate, expecting we could repair the cracks, but had one important question: Would the repair also stop the water from pooling in her driveway? The answer was yes. But what causes concrete to crack and water to pool in the first place?

Why Water Pools in Your Concrete Sidewalks and Driveway

Water pooling on your driveway is usually a sign that the concrete has settled over time. As the slabs sink or shift, low spots form where rainwater can no longer drain. In Michigan and Northern Indiana, changing weather and soil conditions often speed up this process.

A Custom Driveway Repair Plan

By lifting and repairing the driveway and patio instead of replacing them, we helped this Plymouth homeowner eliminate the standing water while also removing trip hazards. The result was a safer, more attractive concrete surface with proper drainage and renewed curb appeal.

• PolyLevel® to lift and level the sunken concrete slabs.
