We use expanding polyurethane foam that hides drill holes better than other methods. Though it makes fixing a square foot of concrete slab a bit more expensive than mud jacking, it is the most long-lasting option in the long run. We effectively level concrete and fill gaps at an affordable cost and with the best materials in the market.
Replacing the concrete slabs might needed if the existing concrete slab has sunk too low or has been damaged too much. In that case, we will provide you a new slab for your concrete sidewalks.
Inappropriate steps, raised sections and drop-offs can cause expensive property damage, result in hazardous trip and fall situations, especially for the elderly and young, and expose your property to liability. The most common issues caused by uneven sidewalks and walkways include:
- Water pitching toward the home or building. Improper grading can cause poor water drainage which is a common cause of floods.
- Uneven and damaged expansion joints can easily cause hazardous tripping areas.
- Step height issues which result in obstacles for visitors, carriers, and couriers.
- Pothole and uneven concrete slab can be caused by root growth or soil movement.
- Foundation repair issues due to settling of the ground below the sidewalk.
- Tree roots can cause significant damage like uneven sections to your sidewalks and walkways.6
Sidewalk and Subbase Repairs
Subbase settlement or erosion can result in an uneven support structure beneath your walkways and sidewalks. When concrete slabs sink often times stress cracks can appear at control joints and other areas. It is important to stabilize and restore structural integrity to prevent exposing the foundation of your building to the elements and prevent trip hazards.
