Concrete Leveling Photo Album: Front Porch Concrete Lifting and Crack Repair in Collierville, TN

Why Was This Porch Slab Settling and Cracking? Homeowner Ralph W. of Collierville, TN reached out after noticing his front porch slab was sinking nearly an inch and separating from the brick veneer. The settlement had become visibly worse, with multiple cracks across the porch and gaps forming along the mortar joint. Uneven porches aren’t just unsightly—they create safety hazards and can reduce the value of a home. Ralph wanted the porch restored and stabilized correctly to ensure he wouldn’t face the same issues in the future, especially as he was planning additional construction projects on the property. How Was the Porch Lifted and Protected? After inspection, our team recommended the 3-Part Concrete Protection System for a lasting repair. First, we used PolyLevel® foam injection to lift and stabilize the porch slab. Because the brick veneer was not tied into the slab, we were able to achieve significant lift, bringing most of the surface back to level. Next, we applied NexusPro® sealant to the cracks across the slab and to the mortar joint along the brick outline, protecting the area from water intrusion. Finally, we pressure-washed and sealed the 39' x 5' porch surface to lock in the repair and provide long-term protection. Why Does This Method Ensure Long-Term Results? By combining lifting, sealing, and surface protection, this porch repair addressed both the cause and the symptoms of settlement. PolyLevel® foam filled voids beneath the slab, providing stable support that won’t wash out or add extra weight to the soil. NexusPro® created a flexible, UV-resistant barrier to keep out moisture and prevent future cracking, while the surface sealant preserved the slab’s durability and appearance. Some areas remained slightly off-level due to natural soil conditions, but overall, the lift and stabilization delivered excellent results. Ralph was very happy with the outcome and gained peace of mind knowing his porch is safe, stable, and well-protected for the years ahead.
