Garage and Porch Lift Restores Safety for Veteran Family in Drummonds, TN

Anna and her husband Donald F. have called their Drummonds, TN home for over 25 years. About 15 years ago, an earthquake cracked and unsettled their garage slab. Believing replacement was their only option, they left the damage untouched—until a Redeemers Group commercial introduced them to concrete lifting. Eager to eliminate trip hazards and restore safety, especially for Donald, a disabled Marine veteran, the couple reached out with hope that lifting was possible.

Our inspection revealed that the slab had remained stable in recent years but needed elevation to regain its original alignment. We proposed using PolyLevel®, a high-density polyurethane foam, to lift the garage slab and the front porch. To reinforce and protect the concrete long-term, we applied NexusPro® joint and crack sealant along the garage perimeter where it meets the home’s foundation and the utility storage room, as well as at the porch-to-foundation interface. This created a watertight barrier, preventing moisture intrusion and further erosion.

To complete the solution, our team sealed all visible cracks and joints in both driveways using NexusPro®, ensuring a clean, professional finish. Anna and Donald were thrilled with the results and grateful for a safer, stronger home. Their story is a reminder that even long-standing damage can be reversed with the right technology and team.
