Trip Hazard Eliminated and Concrete Stabilized with Long-Term Protection
A homeowner in Little Rock, AR addressed a persistent trip hazard caused by sunken front steps and uneven concrete using advanced PolyLevel lifting and a full Concrete Protection System (CPS). The project successfully stabilized the structure, reduced safety risks, and protected the walkway from future damage.
Problem: Settling Concrete and Tree Root Damage Created a Safety Risk
The homeowner reported that the issue had been present since moving into the home, which was built in 2006. Over time, the front steps had settled approximately two inches, creating a noticeable and dangerous drop at the top step. Additionally, a previously removed tree had likely caused root-related soil disruption beneath the walkway, leading to sections of uneven and lifted concrete. While the condition had not significantly worsened, the risk of tripping—confirmed during inspection—made safety and peace of mind a priority.
Solution: PolyLevel Injection and 3-Part Concrete Protection System Installation
To correct the uneven concrete and stabilize the affected areas, technicians implemented a targeted repair strategy using PolyLevel foam injection. Small holes were drilled along the walkway and near the steps to lift and support the concrete. While the steps could only be raised slightly due to resistance, the walkway sections were successfully leveled and stabilized. The team then installed a 3-Part Concrete Protection System, including thorough pressure washing, application of SealantPro for long-term surface protection, and sealing of all joints and cracks with NexusPro and sand. Injection points were finished with crack fill for a clean, uniform appearance.
Importance: Long-Term Concrete Repair and Prevention Using Proven Methods
This repair not only addressed the immediate safety hazard but also reinforced the structural integrity of the walkway and steps. The use of PolyLevel ensured a minimally invasive, fast-curing solution that stabilizes underlying soil and prevents further settling. The addition of SealantPro and NexusPro created a durable barrier against moisture intrusion, erosion, and future cracking. Together, these methods extended the life of the concrete and reduced the likelihood of recurring issues—making it a comprehensive, long-term solution.

Settled Concrete Stairs and Cracked Outdoor Slabs Needed Long-Term Stabilization
Grace and Jesse wanted a long-term concrete repair solution for their home’s driveway, front walkway, back patio, and patio stairs. Their biggest concern was the heavy back stairwell, which had settled and created a square-shaped crack around the stairs. They wanted to avoid the cost, disruption, and difficulty of tearing out and repouring the concrete, while also preventing the stairs and surrounding slabs from sinking further over time.
Poly Foam Concrete Lifting Helped Stabilize the Patio Stairs and Uneven Cracks
Redeemers Group completed a three-part concrete protection system across the driveway, walkway, front porch area, and back patio. The crew used poly foam injection to stabilize the concrete and lift key settled areas, including sections of the driveway and walkway where cracks had created minor unevenness. At the back patio, the team drilled into the tall stairwell area and injected foam beneath the heavy concrete stairs to fill large voids, improve support, and achieve as much lift as the surrounding concrete safely allowed. The square-shaped crack did not become completely level because additional lifting began to affect nearby areas, so the crew stopped at the responsible point and explained the result to the homeowner.
Sealed Joints and Cracks Helped Protect the Concrete from Water Damage
After the concrete lifting and stabilization work was completed, the crew pressure washed the driveway, walkway, and patio, then sealed the concrete joints and cracks with NexusPro. This step was important because open cracks and unsealed joints allow water to enter beneath the slabs, which can wash out soil, worsen settlement, and lead to future concrete damage. By combining poly foam concrete stabilization, targeted concrete leveling, pressure washing, and joint sealing, Redeemers Group helped the homeowners protect their existing concrete and extend the life of their driveway, walkway, and back patio.
