Problem: Phase Two Lintel Failure Causing Visible Step Cracking

A progressing lintel failure above the garage door threatened continued cracking and long-term structural damage. In this Sherwood, AR home, the homeowner observed a step crack forming in the masonry above the garage opening—an established sign of steel lintel failure. What initially appeared to be minor cracking escalated into a phase two lintel failure, raising concerns about worsening brick damage, moisture intrusion, and loss of property value if the issue continued unchecked.

Solution: Engineered Lintel Repair System with Thor Rod Reinforcement

The lintel was permanently stabilized using structural reinforcement, not cosmetic patching. Our team installed an engineered Lintel Repair System designed to restore proper load transfer above the garage door. Four Thor Rods were strategically installed to reinforce the failing lintel and surrounding masonry, locking the assembly together and stopping further movement. NexusPro® joint sealant with sand was applied to seal the repair, protect against moisture intrusion, and deliver a clean, finished appearance that blended seamlessly with the existing brick.

Why the Method Mattered: Long-Term Protection and Structural Confidence

This repair addressed the cause of the cracking, not just the symptoms. By mechanically reinforcing the lintel and masonry, the Lintel Repair System prevented continued separation, additional cracking, and future door alignment issues. Unlike temporary surface repairs, this method provided a durable, low-maintenance solution that preserved both the structural integrity and resale value of the home. The homeowner selected this approach for lasting performance and peace of mind and was highly satisfied with the final outcome.

When Tricia B. in Horseshoe Bend, AR noticed cracking near her walk-out basement and a sunken front walkway, she knew it was time to take action. With plans to move back to Iowa and eventually put her home on the market, she didn’t feel right listing it without first addressing these issues.

Our team stepped in with the Lentil Repair System to stabilize two key structural areas, and we used PolyLevel® foam injection to lift and level the settled concrete walkway. We also sealed all visible joints and cracks to prevent further damage. The results speak for themselves—check out this incredible transformation!

Linda T. of Star City, AR contacted us with serious concerns about the structural integrity of her shop. Over time, she had noticed increasingly severe signs of foundation failure—including sinking along one side of the structure and visible separations in the concrete block walls. Inspection revealed that the foundation had settled unevenly, resulting in long horizontal and stair-step cracks, as well as gaps where blocks had begun to pull apart. Left unaddressed, the damage would have continued to worsen, potentially leading to safety hazards and further structural degradation.

To restore stability and prevent future damage, our team recommended the installation of 11 foundation piers strategically placed along the failing sections. These deep-driven piers were installed beneath the load-bearing walls to transfer the weight of the structure to competent soil layers far below the surface. After completing the pier system installation, we carefully lifted and leveled the affected portion of the garage. Once the structure was stabilized, we sealed the cracks in the concrete block walls to protect against moisture intrusion and restore the shop’s appearance and functionality.

This project showcased the critical importance of using proven, engineered solutions to correct foundation issues. The piering method not only halted ongoing settlement but also returned the structure to its original elevation—preserving the building’s lifespan and usability. If you’re seeing similar signs of foundation failure, don’t wait for things to get worse.

Problem: Cracking Walls and Uneven Floors from Foundation Settlement

Christie Y. of Olive Branch, MS, began noticing widening cracks across her interior walls and a sinking hallway floor that separated from the baseboards. Over time, the uneven slab caused doors to stick and gaps to form throughout the home. After receiving two other quotes that failed to clearly explain a permanent fix, Christie was referred to Redeemers Group by Pleasant Hill Methodist Church—where we had successfully repaired another contractor’s failed work. Confident in that recommendation, she trusted our team to deliver lasting results.

Solution: Interior Slab Piers and PolyLevel Concrete Lifting

Our foundation inspection revealed interior slab settlement extending from the center of Christie’s home toward both the east and west sides. To stabilize and relevel the slab, we installed eight interior slab piers and applied PolyLevel foam injection beneath the concrete to fill hidden voids and support the floor evenly. This combination—part of our advanced concrete leveling system—ensured precision lifting, long-term stability, and protection against future settlement.

Results: Foundation Stabilized and Home Restored

Following installation, the results spoke for themselves. The sunken hallway floor lifted back into alignment with the baseboards, all wall cracks closed completely, and the bathroom door operated smoothly once again. Christie was thrilled with the transformation and expressed how relieved she felt to have her home restored by professionals she could trust. This project exemplifies why homeowners across the Mid-South turn to our foundation repair experts to protect their homes throughout our service area in Tennessee, Mississippi, and Arkansas.

Structural Settlement and Uneven Floors Threatened the Home’s Value

Todd P. and his wife from Cordova, TN, began noticing cracks in their walls and sloping floors that had worsened over nearly a decade. The issue stemmed from foundation repair, where the center of the home had settled nearly two inches toward heavy interior walls. Concerned about preserving the property’s value before an eventual sale, the homeowners turned to Redeemers Group, Inc., a trusted local expert in foundation repair and slab lifting in Cordova, TN. Having postponed earlier repairs due to college expenses, they were now ready to permanently stabilize their home’s structure and protect their investment.

Advanced Slab Pier System and Precision Polyurethane Injection

Redeemers Group designed a custom stabilization plan that combined slab lifting with structural repair across a 25-by-25-foot section of the interior slab. This dual-method approach addressed both the underlying settlement and the surface-level voids, ensuring a more complete and lasting result. To protect the home’s original hardwood flooring, the installation team carefully positioned all slab piers beneath tile or in concealed areas such as a hallway closet and kitchen pantry. Despite challenging access near the front closet pier, the team achieved secure anchor placement and a smooth overall installation. The homeowners appreciated the transparency of the process and the clear expectations set for stabilization and limited lift.

Long-Term Results and the Importance of Professional Foundation Repair Methods

The project successfully stabilized the interior slab, preventing further settlement and restoring confidence in the home’s long-term performance. By combining slab pier technology with high-density polyurethane foam injection, Redeemers Group ensured durable, non-invasive reinforcement beneath the foundation. This repair not only improved floor stability but also preserved the property’s resale value—demonstrating why professional foundation repair in Cordova, TN is essential before minor structural issues become major concerns.
