Mike L. of Oakland, TN had grown increasingly frustrated with the condition of the concrete walkway leading from his driveway to the front door. Years of soil settlement had caused the slab near the garage corner to sink, creating a low spot where rainwater would routinely pool. This standing water forced Mike and his family to take a soggy detour through the yard just to enter their own home—an annoyance that had turned into a daily inconvenience, especially during wet weather.
During our inspection, Mike also pointed out some concerning movement in the back patio. The concrete there was beginning to settle and drift toward a steep drop-off at the rear of the yard. While we discussed the potential risks of continued movement and presented a full quote that included the walkway, patio, and even the driveway, Mike decided to start with the most immediate concern: the front walkway. This targeted approach allowed us to eliminate the water pooling problem while remaining within budget.
To restore proper grade and eliminate the hazard, we utilized PolyLevel®, an advanced polyurethane injection system designed to lift and level sunken concrete. The material expands underneath the slab to raise it gently but firmly into place, correcting the pitch and preventing water accumulation. We then sealed the joints and cracks using NexusPro®, a durable silicone-based sealant that keeps water out and protects against future erosion. The result was a level, safe, and dry walkway that instantly improved both the appearance and function of the entrance to Mike’s home.
