Driveway Damage Assessment

How the assessment decides

Each answer adds points for how much it suggests the slab or its base has failed. A few answers override the score: a hollow under the slab, a change right after a storm, or a public trip edge always return Urgent, and damage across a third or more of the drive always returns at least Likely replacement.

The thresholds follow the same rules used in our guides: cracks under ¼ inch with level sides can be sealed, panels that dropped but stayed whole can be leveled, and once about a third of the drive has failed, replacement usually costs less over ten years. The ¼-inch trip threshold comes from the 2010 ADA Standards (§303.2).
