Sunken Asphalt Driveway Apron Repair Twin Cities

How Do Sunken Aprons Occur?

Over time, Minnesota’s freeze and thaw cycles can affect the molecular stability of pavement. Once your garage apron begins to sink, this will continue to cause further deterioration in the adjacent pavement, especially at its edges. Add snow, rain, or other drainages to the mix, and the problem begins to compound. It can even cause serious damage to other parts of your driveway.

There is no doubt that a sunken apron is unpleasant to look at with its jagged edges and depression or dip. A sunken apron will certainly detract from your home’s value. But a sunken apron can also be a serious hazard, causing a financial liability and risking your family’s safety.

Problems caused by a sunken apron:

• Tire damage
• Suspension damage
• Tripping hazard
• Further driveway damage

Damage to the Driveway Foundation

Sunken driveways and aprons can indicate extensive damage to your driveway or even your foundation. If moisture is getting under your garage apron, the integrity of your garage’s foundation is at risk. Degradation to your foundation will start to advance. Over time, water and salt can infiltrate the gap between the apron and garage floor, eroding the foundation and causing settlement. This can result in sinkholes or empty cavities.
