Raising Sunken Walkways
Several walkways had sunk where they meet the adjoining driveway. This resulted in an uneven surface which could easily trip someone up, especially in low light or at night time. In some cases, in order to restore a smooth walking plane, the driveway panels also needed to be adjusted in order to properly align the slabs. To learn more about trip hazards, be sure to check out our trip hazards page!
Lifting Settled Garage Approaches
Do you notice a large bump when you drive your car into the garage? Several residents here at Kingswood did. It’s a pretty common occurrence for driveways to sink right in front of the garage entrance. Left unattended, that bump can continue to worsen. Also, it’s important to understand there can be additional consequences when a driveway drops like in this example. The sinking concrete exposes the front edge of the garage floor can start becoming damaged from impact it was not designed to endure. If you think you have a settled garage floor or driveway, we have a page for that: Driveways & Garage Floors.
Raising Settled Front Walks
Concrete typically sinks slowly over time. So slow, you might not even notice it happening. In this example, a front sidewalk sunk right where it meets the stoop at the entryway door. The result is a tall step up from the sidewalk up to the stoop. As a homeowner with this issue, you may be used to this tall step, however, your delivery people or visitors probably are not. Learn more about Step Height and Sidewalks.
Lifting Sunken Driveways at the Curb
Does your driveway hold water where it meets the curb? Many driveways are designed to drain water into the curb. However, if your driveway sinks it may not drain water properly. Standing water is not ideal – it can seep down beneath the concrete causing further erosion and settlement. In the colder months, pooling water can also freeze and cause dangerous slip hazards.
