When the tenants vacated a rental property managed by Kevin H. of Bellevue Baptist Church in Cordova, TN, a hidden issue surfaced—one that needed swift and professional attention. A concrete slab in front of the garage had noticeably settled, causing the brickwork resting on it to shift. The problem was most visible near the back door steps, where the slab had sunk approximately 1.5 inches. Compounding the issue was a nearby gutter downspout, which had been draining directly onto the affected area, likely accelerating the erosion and settlement.
Understanding the urgency, Kevin—already familiar with our work from previous properties—turned to us for a lasting solution. Before any brick repair could begin, we addressed the root of the issue: the sunken concrete. Our team recommended and executed a two-part solution using PolyLevel® to lift and stabilize the slab, followed by NexusPro® sealant for added durability. This approach not only elevated the slab back to its original position but also helped prevent future water intrusion and damage. The project also included sealing the expansion joint between the garage slab and driveway, as well as the adjacent control joint—key areas often overlooked in concrete repair.
Thanks to this targeted repair, the property is once again structurally sound and ready for its next occupants.
