Settled Pool Deck Created a Trip Hazard for an Arlington Homeowner
A homeowner in Arlington, TN needed an estimate to raise a concrete patio after a section of the pool deck began settling near the far end of the pool. The home, built in the late 1990s, had a pool that was about 15 years old, and the family used the outdoor area often for entertaining. The settled concrete formed a semi-circle area of roughly 11 by 12 feet, creating uneven cracks and a potential trip hazard where guests could cut their feet or stumble around the pool deck.
PolyLevel Concrete Lifting Raised the Patio Slab Back Into Place
Redeemers Group repaired the settled pool deck by injecting PolyLevel beneath the affected concrete slab. The foam lifted the cracked and sunken pad until the cracks were level again, improving the safety and usability of the pool deck. Although a small bowl remained along one crack on the right side, the area was reviewed with the homeowners, and they were comfortable with the result because rainwater could still run off the pad properly.
NexusPro Joint Sealant Helped Protect the Concrete and Pool Coping
After the concrete lifting was completed, the crew sealed the cracks in the lifted slab and sealed around the pool coping with NexusPro. This step mattered because sealing cracks and joints helped reduce water intrusion beneath the concrete, which is one of the common contributors to soil washout, slab settlement, and recurring concrete movement. For homeowners in Arlington, TN dealing with a sinking pool deck, cracked patio, or uneven concrete around a pool, professional concrete leveling and joint sealing can restore safety, improve curb appeal, and provide peace of mind without replacing the entire slab.
If your pool deck, patio, sidewalk, or driveway has settled or cracked, schedule a concrete lifting estimate with Redeemers Group. Our team can inspect the problem, explain your repair options, and help protect your home’s outdoor spaces with proven concrete leveling and sealing solutions.
Crawlspace Damage and Foundation Issues Threatened Long-Term Stability
Redeemers Group provided expert crawlspace repair and foundation stabilization for a Ripley, TN homeowner who noticed soft floors and a floor hump developing under her kitchen and dining room. After 18 years in her home, she became increasingly worried about moisture damage and mold caused by poor grading that allowed water to collect under the house. Our inspection revealed heavy mold, an inadequate jack system, and damp wood that, while still savable, was at serious risk of deterioration. These conditions were compromising the home’s structural integrity and indoor air quality, signaling the need for professional crawlspace waterproofing and repair.
SmartJack® System and Encapsulation Delivered Structural Stability and Moisture Control
To correct these issues, Redeemers Group installed a five-foot supplemental beam with a SmartJack® crawlspace support system to permanently stabilize the sagging kitchen floor. The SmartJack® is an adjustable steel column engineered to stop settlement and lift uneven floors back to level. We also placed three standalone jacks along the main beam for controlled lift and balance. To combat chronic moisture, our team performed a full crawlspace encapsulation, replacing the old vapor barrier, and installed 53 feet of interior drainage with a sump pump system to direct water away from the foundation. A buried downspout extension and LawnScape™ outlet now discharge water 45 feet from the home, reducing groundwater intrusion and keeping the crawlspace dry year-round.
Lasting Results: Restored Floors, Cleaner Air, and Lasting Peace of Mind
Once the installation was complete, the homeowner saw immediate improvement—her kitchen floor leveled out, and the home’s stability was fully restored. She appreciated that Redeemers Group corrected previous substandard repairs without requiring unnecessary subfloor replacement. The SmartJack® stabilization provided durable structural support, while the encapsulation system sealed the crawlspace to prevent humidity and mold. We ensured all sump, dehumidifier, and condensation systems functioned properly, and advised the homeowner to reinsulate her HVAC ductwork to prevent condensation. The result was a stronger foundation, drier environment, and renewed confidence in the home’s long-term safety.

Moisture Problems Threatened a Historic Family Home
Lee M. and his wife inherited her childhood home in Carrollton, Mississippi, after her mother passed away. The couple completed several renovations, including installing new vinyl flooring over the original hardwood to modernize the home before renting it out. However, shortly after, they began noticing moisture accumulating beneath the vinyl, leading to warping, subfloor damage, and expensive replacements. Moisture readings taken during inspection ranged from 20% to 24%, particularly high in the living room area where there were no existing vents. Left untreated, this moisture could have caused severe long-term structural damage to both the original wood and the newly installed flooring.
Professional Moisture Protection with LumberKote
To protect the property’s structural integrity, our team recommended a professional moisture mitigation solution using LumberKote, a proven protective sealant designed to safeguard crawl spaces and wood structures from persistent humidity and ground moisture. The installation process was smooth and straightforward, ensuring full coverage beneath the flooring system. While additional repairs—such as reinforcing joists and replacing a degraded main beam—were identified for future work, Lee chose to first tackle the most pressing issue: preventing further moisture intrusion that was threatening both the old and new materials.
Preserving Value and Longevity Through Proactive Care
By addressing the moisture issue with LumberKote, Lee successfully stabilized the home’s environment, protecting the subfloor and hardwood from continued decay. This preventive approach not only preserved the property’s long-term value but also ensured safer, more stable conditions for tenants. For homeowners facing similar crawl space or flooring moisture problems, acting early can make all the difference.
If you’re noticing signs of moisture, musty odors, or flooring damage in your home, don’t wait for the problem to worsen. Contact Redeemers Group today to schedule your professional inspection and learn how our LumberKote moisture protection system can safeguard your investment for years to come.
