AI-Powered Case Study: Polyurethane Injections Eliminate Tripping Hazards in Clinton, TN
Safety is top of mind for a couple of longtime homeowners in Clinton, TN. As they grow older, they don’t want to worry about tripping hazards like cracked and sinking concrete on their property.
Motivated to fix this issue sooner rather than later, the owners contacted Groundworks’ Knoxville branch—AFS Foundation & Waterproofing Specialists—for an inspection and advice. An inspector recommended lifting and stabilizing the concrete with polyurethane injections.
The homeowners were eager to move forward with the efficient concrete leveling project to create a safer living environment.
The Challenge
- Cracking concrete
- Uneven concrete slabs
- Potential safety hazards
The Solution
- Polyurethane foam injections
The Impact
- Minimally invasive installation
- Quickly lifted concrete slabs
- Improved safety and appearance
Before Concrete Lifting:
Driveway Cracks
The homeowners noticed that sections of the cracking driveway were also uneven, particularly in front of the garage and the primary entrance to their home. Concerned about potential safety issues on their property, they wanted to find a lasting solution to enhance their well-being.
Sinking and Uneven Concrete Slabs
During an on-site evaluation by an expert from AFS, the inspector measured for sinking and noted that some areas of concrete had settled nearly ½ inch.
After Concrete Leveling:
A Safer Home
Our inspector recommended the perfect solution for the homeowners: concrete driveway repair with polyurethane foam injections. Polyurethane injections are lightweight yet long-lasting and quick-curing.
Focusing on the front and garage entrance driveway slabs, a crew installed the solution in one day. This minimizes downtime and allows the homeowners to use their driveway the same day as the installation. The owners also no longer have to worry about tripping on the concrete, as this solution enhances the safety and appearance of their home.

I received a very fair estimate from Levi Harris @ AFS. He answered all my questions and addressed all my concerns. Levi was very helpful and explained how they lift the concrete and the products they use. Unfortunately I have to look into some electrical issues before any repair can be done. I would recommend this company and hope to use them in the future. Thanks again Levi and AFS, everyone was friendly and helpful, I appreciate it.
