Sidewalk Leveling

Protect your home and family with Sidewalk Leveling!

Most homes built in the past 50 or so years have concrete walkways and driveways installed during construction as it is one of the strongest building materials we have today. However, regardless of that strength, concrete will still degrade and become vulnerable to the elements over time.

One of the main reasons that concrete slabs, like the ones that make up your sidewalk, begin to sink is water working its way beneath the slab and eroding away the supporting soil. This creates voids under the concrete that can lead to sunken slabs, lowered property value, and trip hazards around your home. Freeze and thaw cycles as the seasons’ change will inevitably make this issue worse, therefore it’s best to call an experienced contractor to help solve the problem.

There are several repair options to level out your sidewalk, including Mudjacking, Polyurethane Foams, Re-leveling Grout applications, and replacement. There are also different ways that the slab could be affected. The slab could be wedged up because of a tree root, or it could be heaved due to cracks. The concrete could be loose and wobble when weight is applied, or it could be lodged into place, out of level.

Your issue may seem unfixable, but that usually isn’t the case. Whether utilizing a lifting method or grinding down the edges, there is a way to remove the danger and risk of legal action surrounding your home, without going through the headache of a total concrete replacement.
