Uneven Sidewalk Repair Impacting Safety and Property Value

David N. of Alexander, AR needed a straightforward solution to improve safety, daily usability, and overall property value as he prepared for a future move back to Knoxville. The front walkway had settled unevenly, creating a noticeable step gap and making routine tasks like mowing along the sidewalk more difficult. Although larger driveway repairs had been discussed previously, the immediate priority was correcting the uneven sidewalk to enhance curb appeal and eliminate trip hazards.

Precision PolyLevel® Injection for Concrete Leveling and Stabilization

The project focused on the 36-foot front walkway leading to the home’s entry. Using PolyLevel® polyurethane injection, the team carefully stabilized and lifted the concrete slabs to achieve the most level surface possible. A key portion of the repair involved re-leveling a slab with a significant height difference, removing the step hazard and restoring a smooth transition across the walkway. All drill holes created during the process were professionally refilled with a clean crack-fill finish to maintain appearance and durability.

Joint Sealing with NexusPro® to Prevent Future Concrete Damage

To strengthen the repair and help prevent future settling, all joints and seams along the walkway were wire-wheeled and thoroughly prepared before being sealed with NexusPro® joint sealant and sand. This critical step reduced the risk of water infiltration, which is a leading cause of soil erosion beneath concrete slabs. While the homeowner opted for a focused repair rather than a full-system solution, sealing the joints added an important layer of long-term protection.

Why Polyurethane Concrete Leveling and Joint Sealing Matter

Polyurethane concrete repair methods provided a fast, non-invasive alternative to full replacement while delivering lasting results. By stabilizing the underlying soil and restoring proper slab alignment, the repair improved both safety and visual appeal—two essential factors for homeowners planning to sell. Combined with professional joint sealing, this approach helped extend the life of the walkway and protect the investment.

Foundation Settlement and Structural Instability Threatened Home Integrity

Significant foundation settlement and inadequate structural support caused visible drywall cracking and ongoing floor instability, requiring a comprehensive stabilization and waterproofing solution to prevent further damage.

Over the course of a year, the homeowner in Mountain Home, AR began noticing cracks forming in the drywall—clear signs of foundation settlement and structural movement. The home’s design relied on a single center fly-over steel beam, leaving large sections of flooring and load-bearing walls unsupported. This lack of proper support led to sagging floor joists, uneven load distribution, and increasing concern as the homeowner prepared for future renovations. A crawlspace and basement combination further complicated the issue, requiring a customized approach to avoid obstructing key access points like the basement doorway and storage areas.

SmartJack System, Push Piers, and Custom Beam Installation Delivered Lasting Stability

To address the structural issues, a tailored solution was implemented using a combination of SmartJack support systems, supplemental beams, joist sistering, and foundation push piers. A 30-foot supplemental beam was installed along both the front and rear of the home, supported by strategically placed SmartJacks—six in the front to address heavier load demands and four in the rear. Joist sistering reinforced weakened spans, particularly under high-traffic areas like the bathroom, while adjustments were made near the storage room to preserve accessibility without compromising structural integrity.

Additionally, eight push piers were installed along the southeast corner to permanently stabilize the settling foundation—five from inside the crawlspace and three requiring exterior concrete removal and replacement. The team overcame challenging excavation conditions, including large subsurface stone, and adapted installation methods where necessary. Minor customizations, such as shimming select joists to reduce floor noise, were completed at the homeowner’s request while maintaining transparency about best practices.

Integrated Waterproofing and Encapsulation Enhanced Long-Term Protection

Beyond structural stabilization, the project incorporated advanced waterproofing and encapsulation strategies to protect the home from future moisture-related damage. A CleanSpace vapor barrier system was installed throughout the crawlspace and basement walls, seamlessly integrated with a Dry-Trak drainage system to channel water into a new sump pump system. The discharge line was upgraded with a Spee-D drain to redirect water away from the driveway, improving both function and curb appeal.

This integrated approach ensured not only immediate structural correction but also long-term durability by addressing underlying moisture concerns—a critical factor in preventing future foundation issues. The combination of engineered support systems, customized installation methods, and moisture control solutions provided a comprehensive repair that restored stability and peace of mind for the homeowner.

Severe Concrete Settlement Threatened the Home’s Entry and Carport

During a full property renovation in Mountain Home, AR, homeowner and investor Kelly J. discovered that the front porch and carport concrete slabs had sunk dramatically, creating visible cracks and uneven surfaces. The front porch, in particular, had dropped enough to pose a tripping hazard and a clear sign of soil settlement beneath the slab. This level of displacement not only affected the curb appeal of the home but also threatened the long-term structural integrity of the entryway and carport areas—critical features for property resale value.

Advanced PolyLevel® Injection and Slab Jacking Restored a Safe, Level Surface

To correct the problem, our team utilized PolyLevel® concrete lifting foam, a cutting-edge solution designed to raise and stabilize sinking concrete. Two slab jacks were strategically placed to assist with the lift while the expanding polyurethane foam provided precision leveling beneath the slab. Technicians also cut and chiseled along existing cracks to relieve tension and ensure a clean, even lift. Through careful coordination, the crew achieved complete leveling of the front porch and both sunken areas of the carport, eliminating visible cracks and restoring a smooth, safe surface throughout.

Protective Crawl Space Coating Adds Long-Term Durability

In addition to the concrete restoration, LumberKote™ was applied throughout the crawl space, creating a moisture-resistant barrier that helps prevent wood rot and structural decay. This combined approach addressed both surface-level and foundational concerns, enhancing the home’s stability and value. The results impressed the property owner, who praised the quality and precision of the work.

If your porch, driveway, or concrete slab has begun to sink or crack, don’t wait for the damage to worsen. Contact Redeemers Group today for a professional inspection and learn how PolyLevel® and LumberKote™ can permanently restore safety, beauty, and value to your home.

Identifying Serious Crawlspace Settlement and Structural Risks

This project involved a home in Mountain Home, AR where the crawlspace had been settling for years, creating structural concerns that affected floors, doors, and interior walls. The homeowner, Jay B., a veteran dealing with health challenges, had previously attempted repairs himself and had even received a quote from another company. However, the settling continued, causing cracks in multiple rooms and making it harder for him to ensure his wife would have a safe, reliable home to live in or eventually sell. After our inspection, Jay sought a permanent, trustworthy solution that stayed within his budget while still restoring the home’s stability.

Delivering a Targeted SmartJack Solution for Long-Term Stability

We provided a tailored repair plan that focused on the most affected support areas while respecting the homeowner’s financial considerations. By installing a series of SmartJacks along the main beam, we delivered a powerful and lasting lift, even within the constraints of a gravel crawlspace and limited access points. Despite HVAC and plumbing obstacles, our installation team successfully maneuvered through the tight entry and low-clearance areas to position the system correctly. This approach offered far better long-term performance than the competing option Jay had previously been offered, giving him the peace of mind of a dependable structural repair.

Restoring Interior Functionality Through Proven Structural Methods

The effectiveness of the SmartJack system became immediately clear. The installation closed cracks in the full bathroom near the door and ceiling, restored the functionality of a sticking door, and eliminated cracks on both sides of the half bath—including the wall facing the laundry room and the front interior area. These visible improvements underscored the importance of using engineered support systems designed specifically for crawlspace settlement. By applying methods that directly address the root cause, we delivered stability, safety, and long-term value to the home.
