Concrete Protection Matters - Why Early Action is the Best Solution for Lasting Results

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2025 by Ashley Herrera

Why Protecting Concrete Early Matters

Concrete may be tough, but it isn’t indestructible. It’s constantly exposed to changing weather, soil movement, moisture, and surface wear. Over time, these stressors can lead to:

  • Cracking from freeze-thaw cycles and shrinkage

  • Soil erosion beneath the slab, causing uneven settling

  • Surface flaking and pitting

  • Water intrusion and drainage issues

  • Trip hazards and safety concerns

By the time these issues are visible, they’ve already been developing below the surface. That’s why proactive concrete protection—not reactive repair—is the smarter, more cost-effective choice.


Vesta’s Complete Concrete Protection System

At Vesta Foundation Solutions, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all fixes. That’s why we offer a suite of exclusive, professional-grade products that are not available to just any contractor. Each one is tailored to a specific part of the problem—lifting, sealing, preserving, or enhancing concrete so it lasts longer and performs better.


1. PolyLevel® – Lift & Stabilize Sunken Concrete

PolyLevel uses a lightweight polyurethane foam to gently lift and re-level sunken concrete slabs. It’s cleaner, faster, and far more precise than old-school mudjacking.

✔️ Ideal for driveways, sidewalks, porches, and pool decks
✔️ Cures in minutes—usable the same day
✔️ Hydrophobic material won’t wash out over time
Note: While lift is often possible, results vary based on site conditions. Stabilization is always achieved, even if full lift to original height is not.


2. NexusPro® – Seal Cracks & Control Joints

Concrete naturally expands and contracts, which is why sealing joints and cracks is essential to preventing water from eroding the base soils. NexusPro is a high-performance, flexible sealant built to last in extreme conditions.

✔️ Fills existing cracks and joints
✔️ Expands up to 100% for long-term flexibility
✔️ UV-resistant and won’t dry out, peel, or bubble
Note: NexusPro is for cracks and joints only—not for sealing entire surfaces.


3. SealantPro® – Permanent Surface Protection

SealantPro is a clear, permanent concrete sealer that bonds chemically with the slab to block moisture, oils, and chemicals from entering. It preserves the concrete’s appearance and helps prevent flaking, staining, and wear.

✔️ One-time application with lifetime benefits
✔️ Great for driveways, patios, sidewalks, and garages
✔️ Preserves the concrete’s natural look
Note: SealantPro is not compatible with DecoShield™ and is best used on clean or newly leveled concrete.


4. DecoShield™ – Beautify & Protect Older Concrete

DecoShield offers a tinted protective finish designed to even out discoloration, conceal patched areas, and give worn concrete a fresh, unified look. It’s both protective and decorative.

✔️ Enhances curb appeal with earth-tone color options
✔️ Seals the surface to prevent future damage
✔️ Ideal for older patios, walkways, and high-visibility areas
Note: DecoShield is not compatible with SealantPro, and should be chosen when aesthetics are a top priority.


Choosing the Right Combo for Your Home

Each product targets a specific issue, but they often work best together:

Your Concern Best Product
Uneven or sunken slabs PolyLevel®
Visible cracks or open joints NexusPro®
Preventing stains or surface wear SealantPro®
Improving look of patched concrete DecoShield™

 

Whether you want to preserve a new driveway, fix a sunken sidewalk, or refresh an aging patio, Vesta can tailor the right combination of solutions to protect your home’s concrete for years to come.
