Concrete Repair Before & After Photos

After more than 30 years in their Collierville, TN home, Bob J. and his wife—both approaching retirement—set out to prepare their property for market. As the original owners, they’ve seen the home age gracefully, but the driveway told a different story. Years earlier, a water leak beneath the concrete had caused subtle but persistent settling, leaving part of the driveway uneven. Although the faulty waterline was recently rerouted to the yard and the shifting had stopped, the damage had already been done. With retirement underway and plans to sell, the homeowners knew that an uneven driveway could become a sticking point during negotiations.

To address the issue without breaking the bank, a targeted concrete lifting solution was proposed. The wife, a recently retired engineer, was detail-oriented and wanted the scope of work limited only to the visibly sunken sections—insisting on precision over full-coverage. This directed focus allowed the crew to perform a cost-effective lift, stabilizing the sunken areas without disturbing the rest of the original slab. The job required careful measurement, clear communication, and strategic planning to meet the couple’s budget while ensuring functional and aesthetic improvement.

This approach preserved both the integrity and value of the home, providing peace of mind for prospective buyers and maximizing the couple’s return on investment. By addressing the underlying problem and lifting only the affected areas, the project balanced efficiency, affordability, and quality—essential for homeowners entering retirement.

Large Driveway With Sinking Concrete and Growing Safety Concerns

At a busy Collierville, TN home, the homeowner faced significant issues across an 8,000-square-foot driveway. Although the concrete had relatively few cracks for its size, several wooden joints had begun rotting, and a sinking half-moon–shaped section on the west side near the basketball goal created a growing void beneath the slab. Additional trip hazards near the left apron raised concerns about safety and property value, prompting the homeowner to take action before the problems worsened.

Targeted PolyLevel Lifting and Expert Crack Repair

Our team returned to the property and focused on the most urgent structural issues. We injected PolyLevel beneath two key areas to lift and level the sunken slabs, restoring proper elevation and eliminating the voids contributing to settlement. Once the lifting was complete, we sealed all cracks across the driveway using NexusPro, including cracks in the courtyard and on the right side of the home. The homeowner requested a darker joint color, and after reviewing our blend options, he approved the finish that best complemented his driveway.

Proven Methods That Improve Safety and Protect Property Value

By addressing the sinking areas with PolyLevel and sealing the cracks with long-lasting NexusPro, we stabilized the driveway and significantly reduced the risk of trip hazards. These proven concrete repair methods not only help prevent further settlement but also preserve the driveway’s structural integrity and curb appeal—key factors in maintaining and improving property value. Despite his busy schedule, the homeowner was very pleased with the results and grateful to have the hazards corrected before they became more serious.

Restoring Safety, Stability, and Long-Term Peace of Mind

Identifying the Underlying Concrete Problems

This project focused on addressing several areas of cracked and uneven concrete around a Collierville, TN home. The homeowner, Loran L., had experienced settlement across his driveway, walkway, and back patio, including a small but noticeable sunken section directly in front of the garage. Multiple concrete joints had opened over time, creating tripping hazards and allowing water infiltration. In the back patio, four slabs had shifted at different angles, leaving visible cracking and uneven edges. Although the homeowner was initially unsure of the urgency, the inspection process made it clear that these issues threatened both long-term stability and day-to-day comfort.

Executing a Complete Concrete Leveling and Joint Repair Solution

Our team used PolyLevel to lift and stabilize the settled driveway section, restoring proper elevation and preventing further movement. Every accessible crack and joint—front and back—was sealed with NexusPro to protect the slabs from moisture, erosion, and seasonal expansion. On the back patio, we leveled four uneven slabs that had shifted along their joints and cracks, achieving the best lift possible while ensuring full stabilization. Per the homeowner’s request, the painted circular patio section and the front and side patios were intentionally left undisturbed, preserving his preferred look.

Delivering Long-Term Protection Through Proven Methods

By combining PolyLevel and NexusPro, this project delivered a durable, long-lasting solution engineered to prevent future settlement and extend the life of the concrete. PolyLevel provided precise, controlled lifting, while NexusPro created flexible, weather-resistant seals that protect against water penetration—one of the leading causes of concrete deterioration.

Restoring Safety and Stability with Precision Concrete Repair

Identifying the Trip Hazards and Structural Concerns

Phyllis O. of Collierville, TN reached out after noticing her driveway apron had sunk nearly an inch near the curb, creating a clear tripping hazard. During inspection, she also expressed concern about her back patio, which had sunk and developed a large crack due to tree-root heave. These uneven surfaces, along with multiple open joints and cracks throughout her driveway, patio, and walkway, were affecting her daily safety and comfort. One crack on the back patio had been filled with caulk by her grandson, but it required proper removal and professional repair to restore long-term stability.

Advanced Concrete Lifting with PolyLevel® Technology

To correct the settlement, the team used PolyLevel®, a precision polyurethane injection system designed for accurate and long-lasting concrete lifting. The back patio was carefully raised to level the slab and reduce the severity of the tree-induced heave, improving safety even though the area could not be warrantied. Technicians then lifted and leveled the entire sunken apron at the bottom of the driveway, eliminating the one-inch drop at the curb. Both areas were restored to a safer, more functional condition using clean, minimally invasive methods.

Long-Term Protection Through NexusPro® Crack and Joint Sealing

After stabilizing the concrete, every crack and joint across the driveway, back patio, and walkway was sealed using NexusPro®, a high-performance UV-resistant sealant. This step was crucial in preventing water intrusion, soil washout, and future slab settlement. The previously DIY-filled patio crack was professionally cleaned out and replaced with a durable, flexible seal. In the end, Phyllis was thrilled with the results, thrilled to have safer, smoother surfaces that enhanced both her mobility and peace of mind.

Concrete Settlement Problem Before the Repair

This project involved significant concrete settlement in front of a three-car garage in Eads, TN. The slabs had cracked and sunk several inches, creating uneven transitions into the garage and leaving visible gaps that could deter potential homebuyers. The homeowner, preparing to sell the property, wanted only the affected areas restored but needed them to look their best. The sinking slabs and spreading cracks posed functional and cosmetic issues, making a targeted, professional concrete repair essential.

Precision PolyLevel® Lift and Crack Realignment

To correct the settlement, technicians injected PolyLevel® beneath all three slabs, lifting each section as much as the structural conditions allowed. Two slabs were successfully raised back to their original height, while the far-right slab—having suffered deeper settlement—was elevated several inches to restore a safer, more appealing grade. The crew also realigned a long crack running across all three slabs, ensuring the surface returned to a stable and uniform position. This precision lifting process allowed the team to maximize results without risking additional breakage.

Long-Term Protection with NexusPro® Sealant

After lifting, every crack and joint was sealed with NexusPro®, including the areas along the garage doors. This step was critical for improving aesthetics and preventing future water intrusion—a major cause of recurring settlement. By sealing the repaired slabs with a durable, UV-resistant joint material, the team ensured the work would hold up for years, giving future homeowners confidence in the property’s condition. The homeowner was thrilled with the results and the noticeable improvement in curb appeal.
