Concrete Repair Solutions: How to Fix Cracks, Spalling & Sinking Slabs
Learn how to identify common concrete problems and discover effective repair solutions that restore safety, stability, and long-term durability to your home’s slabs and surfaces.
Michigan’s freeze-thaw climate plays a major role in creating uneven, cracked, and deteriorating concrete, problems that are easy to overlook until they become a safety concern. Maybe you’ve tripped on a raised slab or slipped on ice that formed in a low spot where water pooled on your driveway. If you walked away without injury, consider yourself lucky. Many people aren’t so fortunate.
What starts as a small imperfection can quickly become a major hazard. Beyond personal safety, these risks can leave homeowners vulnerable to significant liability if someone is hurt on their property. The stress of worrying about safety, injuries, and potential legal exposure can take a real toll on your peace of mind.
Beyond Safety: The Impact on Curb Appeal
Concrete that’s cracked, sunken, or generally worn-out doesn’t just create hazards, it can also drag down the appearance of your home. At Ayers, we understand the frustration that comes with damaged concrete, which is why we offer a full range of repair solutions designed to restore both function and beauty.
We also keep sustainability in mind. Because concrete production is one of the most significant global sources of carbon dioxide emissions, we strongly advocate repairing concrete whenever possible rather than replacing it entirely.
PolyLevel®: A Durable, Eco-Friendly Lifting Solution
One effective alternative to replacement is PolyLevel, an environmentally friendly, high-density polyurethane foam. This innovative solution is injected underneath sunken or uneven concrete, lifting it back into place and filling any voids below the surface.
PolyLevel offers several key advantages:
- Lifts up to 6,000 lbs
- Waterproof, so it won’t wash away
- Non-toxic and not digestible by animals or insects
- Cures in about 15 minutes, allowing quick return to use
- More cost-effective than demolition and replacement
Unlike traditional concrete repair methods that can take days to fully cure, PolyLevel allows homeowners to walk or drive on the surface almost immediately. This efficiency reduces disruption and saves money by minimizing labor and eliminating the need for new concrete.
NexusPro®: Long-Lasting Crack and Joint Repair
When homeowners struggle with cracks rather than sinking, NexusPro Joint Sealant is an excellent solution. This silicone urethane-based sealant is used in concrete joints and cracks to protect against water intrusion, shifting, and deterioration.
Its benefits include:
- Flexibility to withstand Michigan’s extreme temperature swings
- UV resistance to prevent drying, cracking, and fading
- A clean, professional finish that restores the appearance of your concrete
Our team meticulously prepares each crack and joint before applying NexusPro, ensuring a polished and long-lasting result.
Protect Your Home With Reliable, Long-Lasting Concrete Solutions
While improving aesthetics is a clear benefit, the peace of mind that comes from safe, stable concrete is invaluable. Whether you need to lift uneven surfaces with PolyLevel or seal cracks with NexusPro, Ayers provides comprehensive, environmentally friendly solutions tailored to your home’s needs.
Our goal is to ensure your concrete surfaces are safe, durable, and visually appealing, restoring both function and confidence.
