Concrete Crack Repair
Cracked concrete is a common issue that can be unsightly and potentially hazardous. It affects your property’s appearance and signals underlying problems.
Dealing with cracked concrete slabs can be stressful for homeowners. At Mount Valley Foundation Services, we offer an effective concrete lifting process designed to address these concerns.
Homeowners across South Carolina and Western North Carolina have trusted this state-of-the-art repair process for years, and we are excited to bring this innovation and excellence to you.
What is Concrete Crack Repair?
Concrete crack repair is a comprehensive process designed to fix surface damage caused by unstable soil and oversaturation.
Cracks in concrete cannot be ignored by simply filling them with caulk or other materials. These quick fixes only mask the problem beneath the surface.
At Mount Valley Foundation Services, our concrete repair goes beyond patching cracks. Our proprietary concrete lifting system is a crucial part of our whole-home solutions, ensuring the aesthetic appeal and safety of your concrete structures.
Signs Your Home Needs Concrete Crack Repair
Cracks can develop on various concrete surfaces, including:
If you’re noticing the deterioration of your home’s concrete surfaces, it may be time to consider a repair solution. Here are some telltale signs:
- Visible and expanding cracks in concrete surfaces
- Cracks wider than ¼ inch
- Uneven or sinking concrete slabs
- Tripping hazards
- Cracked walls or damaged siding above sunken concrete
- Pitting, flaking, and staining on the concrete
- Water pooling on the concrete after rain
Identifying concrete cracks and other damage early allows for less invasive repairs, protecting your investment and preventing further costly damage.
Is Concrete Crack Repair Necessary?
Yes. Repairing concrete cracks is essential. The sooner you address concrete damage, the less invasive the repair becomes.
Beware of repairs advertised as “quick fixes” because they do not address the source of the problem. Cracking, sinking, and other concrete damage can continue and lead to more significant issues, even when methods like mudjacking or repouring are used.
Acting early can also optimize the effectiveness of solutions like PolyRenewal™, making it a crucial component of our comprehensive home solution.
What Are the Benefits of Concrete Crack Repair?
Concrete crack repair offers many advantages, including:
Improved Safety
Lifting uneven, sunken areas of concrete eliminates trip hazards. Sealing cracks prevents further fractures that could potentially cause harm or damage to vehicles. Overall, concrete repair improves property safety.
Stop Further Damage
Injecting expanding foam underneath compromised concrete slabs stabilizes the ground beneath to prevent continued sinking and settlement. This protects your concrete investment and prevents worsening issues.
Enhance Appearance and Value
Cracked and uneven concrete looks unsightly and diminishes your property value. Our concrete solutions can renew and refresh aged concrete and breathe life back into your structure. Our specialized products and skilled team can restore your concrete to its original, smooth appearance.
Prolong Concrete Life
Left untreated, minor cracks often become major repairs. Concrete lifting and stabilization treatments protect the integrity of the slab and prevent the need for complete slab replacement. Our products strengthen concrete surfaces and extend their lifespans.
To maximize these benefits, we encourage homeowners to utilize our proprietary PolyRenewal™ system. Our exclusive products, designed with our expertise, outperform generic solutions available in the market by providing superior performance and durability.
How Our Concrete Crack Repairs Work
To fully address concrete cracks, Mount Valley Foundation Services’ certified team follows these essential steps when installing PolyRenewal™:
- Drill small, penny-sized holes into the concrete and place injection ports in each hole.
- Mix and prepare the two-part, closed-cell polyurethane foam.
- Inject foam beneath the concrete slabs through the ports.
- The expanding foam fills the voids beneath the concrete and lifts the slab.
- Allow the foam to fully cure (approximately 15 minutes).
- Remove the injection ports and fill and smooth out the drilled holes.
- Seal cracks and joints to prevent future damage.
- Schedule regular maintenance for your concrete slabs.
With the right tools, training, and products, Mount Valley Foundation Services’ concrete repair process is efficient, minimally invasive, and provides long-lasting results.

Concrete Crack Repair FAQs
Typically, the entire concrete lifting process can be completed within a day, depending on the severity of the damage and the scope of the job. The PolyRenewal™ injected foam cures in 15 minutes, so you can use the surface shortly after. Mount Valley Foundation Services’ experts will provide an accurate installation timeline during a free inspection appointment.
We do not use conventional fillers to address concrete cracks. Our approach involves injecting high-density polyurethane foam under concrete to lift and stabilize it. While we do not “repair” concrete cracks, we can often close the cracks. We also apply a silicone-based sealant to the cracks and joints once the concrete is stabilized. Contact us to learn more and to schedule a free inspection and estimate.
All cracks can present a threat to your concrete. Hairline cracks generally do not pose a threat, but cracks that measure more than ¼ inch wide must be repaired as soon as possible. Avoid DIY repairs and invest in professional solutions from Mount Valley Foundation Services. Our PolyRenewal™ system lifts and stabilizes concrete and can help close cracks.

Disclaimer: “Concrete leveling” means the process by which cracked, uneven concrete is stabilized, and in many cases lifted, by means of PolyRenewal™ polyurethane foam. Mount Valley Foundation Services does not guarantee that PolyRenewal™ can make your concrete perfectly level.
