Cement Leveling and Cement Crack Repair for a Safer Home

Uneven, cracked concrete isn’t just an eyesore; it can be a real hazard, especially for families with young children, older adults, or loved ones with mobility challenges. At Ayers Basement Systems, we believe that safety and peace of mind should start right outside your front door. Two of our recent customers, Doug and Jessica, remind us just how important that mission is.

Doug’s Story: A Safer Path for His Wife in Zeeland, MI

Doug’s wife is disabled and relies on a ramp to access their home. But a large trip hazard at the base of the ramp created a major safety concern. Doug wanted to make sure his wife could enter and exit the home with confidence, without the risk of stumbling on uneven concrete. Our team used PolyLevel® to lift and level the settled concrete, followed by NexusPro™ to seal and protect the cracks. The result? A safer, smoother transition to the ramp that keeps Doug’s wife moving freely and securely.

Jessica's Story: Making Her Backyard Safer for Her Kids in Traverse City, MI

Jessica was worried about her kids playing on the back patio. Cracks and sunken concrete had created a tripping hazard she couldn’t ignore. And because her patio was stamped and custom-designed, tearing it out and starting over wasn’t an option she wanted to consider. We used the same reliable system: PolyLevel® for lifting and leveling, and NexusPro™ for sealing cracks and preventing future damage. Her kids can now enjoy the patio without the risk of injury, and she avoided the mess, cost, and waste of full replacement. 

What Causes Concrete Settlement and Cracking?

Outdoor concrete slabs like driveways, walkways, patios, and steps are prone to sinking and cracking due to: 

• Poor soil compaction during construction 
• Soil erosion from rain or gutter runoff 
• Freeze-thaw cycles that expand and contract the ground 
• Soil drying and shrinking during hot seasons 

When the ground shifts, so does your concrete, creating trip hazards and drainage issues that worsen with time. 

Our Concrete Repair Solutions:

•PolyLevel®: A high-density polyurethane foam that lifts and stabilizes sinking concrete. It’s injected through small holes, cures quickly, and is far less invasive than traditional mudjacking. 
• NexusPro™: A durable, UV-resistant sealant used to fill and protect cracks and control joints from moisture and debris.
• SealantPro®: A one-time application that permanently bonds with concrete to protect it from water, oil, and other stains. It extends the life of your concrete and keeps it looking fresh and clean for years to come.

Benefits of our concrete solutions

• Less invasive than replacement (no tear-out required) 
• More affordable than pouring new concrete 
• Eco-friendly, reducing waste and preserving materials
