Local Concrete Repair: How Ayers Leveled a Front Porch in Fowlerville, MI

A recent Ayers concrete leveling video sparked a lot of attention online. Some viewers thought the video was AI generated. Others thought we were lowering the entire house. In reality, the process is much simpler.

We were lifting and leveling sunken concrete steps using PolyLevel®, a lightweight foam injection system designed to restore concrete without the mess and disruption of replacement.

Why the Homeowners Called Ayers

The homeowners we helped in Fowlerville from the viral timelapse had recently moved in, and the front porch was considerably settled. After a fall on the uneven steps, the homeowners wanted to make the entrance safer for family and guests. This is when they called Ayers to permanently level the concrete and remove the trip hazards in their porch steps, sidewalk and driveway. 

What Causes Concrete Steps and Porches to Sink?

Concrete settlement is common throughout Michigan and northern Indiana. Over time, water can wash away the soil beneath concrete slabs and steps, creating empty spaces below the surface. Freeze-thaw cycles can make the problem even worse. As support beneath the concrete disappears, the slab begins to settle unevenly.

How PolyLevel® Concrete Leveling Works

• Drilling small pea-sized holes into the concrete
• Injecting high-density PolyLevel® foam beneath the slab
• Filling empty spaces beneath the concrete
• Carefully lifting the slab back toward its proper position
• Stabilizing the soil and concrete for long-term support
