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

Comprehensive Concrete Repair in Drummonds, TN: Driveway, Walkway, and Garage Restored
Polly and Jimmy S. of Drummonds, TN had been living with a significantly settled area in the southeast corner of their driveway near the garage. In addition to the uneven surface, there were numerous cracks and worn control joints, making the area not only unsightly but also vulnerable to further damage. Recognizing the value in protecting their investment, they reached out to us for a complete concrete repair and protection solution across multiple areas of their property.
Our team deployed a full three-part concrete protection system for the driveway and front walkway. First, we used PolyLevel® to lift and level the sunken sections. Next, we sealed all control joints and cracks with NexusPro® to prevent water intrusion. Finally, we power washed the concrete surfaces and applied our high-performance SealantPro® to enhance appearance and durability. For the garage and enclosed back patio, we implemented our two-part concrete stabilization system, ensuring all interior cracks in the garage were properly sealed and the back patio was stabilized for long-term support. We took precautions on the patio to help direct the PolyLevel foam and ensure even distribution beneath the slab.
Unstable Soils Lead to Cracked Garage Floor in Drummonds TN, Local Concrete Expert Tasked to Help
This homeowner noticed a small crack in his garage when he first moved in three years ago. His home was newly built, so he figured it was due to settling, and everyone told him that it was normal and "houses settle all the time, even newly-built homes."
But, as the snow and rains came and went, he notice the crack getting bigger, and now new ones were appearing.
He did the smart thing, and called his local concrete repair company and asked us to take a look. Our System Design Specialist came out and correctly diagnosed the issue: water was seeping under his concrete slab and causing voids to form, which in turn was leading to his concrete sinking and cracking.
Luckily, he had called in time; Redeemers Group was able to stabilize the garage slab by injecting a proprietary polymer foam. Once the slab was stabilized, we sealed the joints to close the crack AND to make sure no more water got in and disrupted the soil beneath the slab. The homeowner was so grateful, he went on to trust the concrete experts, and asked for preventative sealing of all his existing concrete to ensure he never had to deal with cracking or settling again!
Water-filled Crawl Space had to be drained in Drummonds, TN!
This customer had a very flooded crawl space. In fact, the first day out on the job had to be spent completely pumping out the water! We removed the water, then returned to install a full drainage system to move water out from the crawl space and far out away from the home. This all begins with the sump pump that pulls water that enters the crawl space into a drainage line that forces the water way out into the yard and away from the home where, if left unchecked, would do major damage to the house over time.
Luckily this customer called us to solve the flooding before things got out of control. Have you called your local waterproofing and foundation experts to help you? Don't wait, flooded crawl spaces will only get worse with time!
