Concrete Crack Repair
Groundworks' SettleStop™ PolyRenewal™ system can lift and level cracked concrete slabs, preserving your home's foundation.
Schedule Inspection
Cracked and sinking concrete steps are more than a cosmetic issue or tripping hazard. The real issue is the soil underneath your steps, which can settle, erode, or shrink over time and threaten your home’s structural stability.
We recommend our SettleStop™ PolyRenewal™ polyurethane injections, which compress soil and lift and level your steps. Learn more about this concrete lifting technique below.
What Is Concrete Crack Repair?
Your concrete slabs might crack and sink when the soil underneath settles, erodes, or shrinks due to poor compaction, inadequate drainage, or over-drying. The right concrete crack repair solutions, like PolyRenewal™, address this damage and restore your slabs to their original condition.
PolyRenewal™ consists of a commercial-grade expanding polyurethane foam, which is more effective for concrete repair than filling cracks with caulk. It potentially lifts settled sections of concrete and seals and removes visible cracks. As a result, you can ensure the appearance and safety of your slabs for years to come.
Signs Your Home Needs Concrete Crack Repair
Various concrete surfaces can develop cracks, including:
We recommend a concrete crack repair solution if you notice any of the following problem signs:
- Visible and expanding crackswider than ¼”
- Uneven or sinking concrete slabs
- Tripping hazards
- Cracked walls or damaged siding above sunken concrete
- Crumbling edges
- Pitting, flaking, and staining
- Pooling water after rain
- Weed growth between sections of concrete
Is Concrete Crack Repair Necessary?
Early repair of cracked concrete can avoid additional damage and expensive repairs. However, so-called DIY “solutions” only provide a temporary fix and won’t solve the soil problem that caused cracking and sinking in the first place.
PolyRenewal™, on the other hand, tackles the underlying cause of cracked concrete by stabilizing soil and stopping washout.
Advantages of Concrete Crack Repair
Repairing cracked concrete provides the following benefits:
- Improve Safety: Levelling uneven, sunken concrete and sealing up cracks prevents trips and falls.
- Stop Further Deterioration: Injecting expanding foam under unstable concrete slabs stabilizes the ground, halting settlement and other damage.
- Increase Property Aesthetics and Value: Cracked concrete detracts from your property’s appearance and worth. PolyRenewal™ makes your slabs look as good as new.
- Extend Your Concrete’s Longevity: Slight cracks can soon turn into major repairs. Concrete lifting and stabilization solutions enhance the strength and integrity of your slabs, meaning you don’t need to replace them.

Concrete Crack Repair FAQs
We’ll drill a small hole through your concrete slabs into the soil underneath before injecting our high-density polyurethane foam. This fills cracks, compresses the soil, and potentially stabilizes and lifts your slabs. We then fill the holes with cement.
Cracks wider than ¼” require immediate attention, so contact the professionals at Groundworks for a free inspection of your concrete slabs. PolyRenewal™ can lift, stabilize, and seal cracked concrete, preventing further damage.
It depends on the extent of the concrete damage and the number of slabs. When we inspect your property, we’ll provide a free price estimate.
