Problem: Phase Two Lintel Failure Causing Visible Step Cracking

A progressing lintel failure above the garage door threatened continued cracking and long-term structural damage. In this Sherwood, AR home, the homeowner observed a step crack forming in the masonry above the garage opening—an established sign of steel lintel failure. What initially appeared to be minor cracking escalated into a phase two lintel failure, raising concerns about worsening brick damage, moisture intrusion, and loss of property value if the issue continued unchecked.

Solution: Engineered Lintel Repair System with Thor Rod Reinforcement

The lintel was permanently stabilized using structural reinforcement, not cosmetic patching. Our team installed an engineered Lintel Repair System designed to restore proper load transfer above the garage door. Four Thor Rods were strategically installed to reinforce the failing lintel and surrounding masonry, locking the assembly together and stopping further movement. NexusPro® joint sealant with sand was applied to seal the repair, protect against moisture intrusion, and deliver a clean, finished appearance that blended seamlessly with the existing brick.

Why the Method Mattered: Long-Term Protection and Structural Confidence

This repair addressed the cause of the cracking, not just the symptoms. By mechanically reinforcing the lintel and masonry, the Lintel Repair System prevented continued separation, additional cracking, and future door alignment issues. Unlike temporary surface repairs, this method provided a durable, low-maintenance solution that preserved both the structural integrity and resale value of the home. The homeowner selected this approach for lasting performance and peace of mind and was highly satisfied with the final outcome.

Scot S. of Cabot, AR is a retired and disabled veteran. He noticed this carports concrete was sinking. This was a problem because it made access to his home a bit more difficult. He also knew that replacing the concrete would be very expensive.  He called Redeemers Group. 

Concrete repair specialist Shawn went to Cabot to perform an inspection.  He found that water had washed away the soil beneath the concrete and it left voids underneath. He designed a permanent solution for Scot and the project was scheduled.

Concrete repair expert Brennan was tasked with this repair project.  He used our PolyLevel™ Concrete Injection System to lift and level the concrete back into place.  He applied our NexusPro™ Joint Sealant to the concrete joints to divert water and prevent it from causing future damage.  Scot is relieved to have level and stable concrete in his carport.

Trip Hazard from Sunken Concrete Walkway in Scott, AR

When Win B. purchased his new home in Scott, AR, he discovered a sunken slab in his front walkway. The dropped concrete, right at the edge of his driveway, created a dangerous trip hazard for family and guests. Beyond the safety concern, uneven concrete can reduce curb appeal and hurt property value. Win wanted to protect his home investment with a lasting concrete repair solution that fit his budget.

PolyLevel® Concrete Leveling and NexusPro® Joint Sealant

Our team recommended the 3-Part Concrete Protection System for maximum durability, but Win chose to start with two key components and add the third later as needed. Using PolyLevel® polyurethane foam injection, we lifted and leveled the walkway slab back into place, restoring a smooth surface. Then, we applied NexusPro® joint sealant on both sides of the slab to protect against water intrusion, soil erosion, and future settlement. This minimally invasive process was quick, clean, and highly effective.

Evangeline C. of Tumbling Shoals, AR contacted us with multiple concerns about sinking concrete around her home, especially in the driveway, garage entry, and under the RV slab located in her shop. The primary issue was a large crack running down the center of the driveway, which not only created an eyesore but also raised concerns about safety and water pooling. Additionally, uneven concrete at the entryway near the dining room and kitchen, as well as slabs surrounding the garage, posed tripping hazards that needed immediate attention.

During our inspection, we determined that PolyLevel® foam injection would be the most effective solution to lift and stabilize the affected concrete areas. We recommended applying PolyLevel to the entryway slab, the garage threshold, and the adjacent slabs to eliminate trip hazards and restore even surfaces. NexusPro® crack sealant was proposed to treat visible cracks, particularly where the entry slab met the driveway. We also addressed Evangeline’s concern about water pooling—ensuring that the PolyLevel process would not worsen drainage issues and taking care to level the slabs in a way that would redirect water flow appropriately.

By strategically applying PolyLevel and NexusPro where needed, we were able to stabilize the RV slab, level the entry and garage slabs, and seal critical joints to prevent future water intrusion. Every effort was made to eliminate existing trip hazards and prevent new ones during the lifting process. With these improvements in place, Evangeline now has safer, more functional concrete surfaces throughout her property—and peace of mind knowing her home’s exterior is protected from further settlement and cracking.
