What is Concrete Sidewalk Repair? 

Concrete sidewalk repair addresses the risks and aesthetic issues caused by cracked, sunken, and damaged sidewalks.  

Traditional methods like mudjacking and repouring are not only costly, invasive, and temporary, they also fail to address the root cause of the damage.  

Often, problems arise from unstable soil and oversaturation, leading to concrete deterioration. The concrete lifting process, due to the PolyRenewal™ system, offers a durable, eco-friendly, and rapid solution for misaligned sidewalk slabs. It also seamlessly integrates into other whole-home solutions we offer, preserving your home’s structural integrity. 

Signs You Need Concrete Sidewalk Repair 

Recognizing the need for sidewalk repair is essential for a safe and attractive outdoor space. If your sidewalk exhibits any of these issues, it likely requires repair: 

• Extensive cracks wider than ¼ inch and fragmentation 
• Uneven, tilted, or sunken slabs
• Significant height variations between slabs 
• Slabs that rock or shift underfoot 
• Related damage such as pitting, flaking, or staining 
• Standing water or mud on the sidewalk 

Promptly addressing these concerns with Basement Authority of West Virginia can prevent them from worsening, minimizing safety hazards, preventing additional damage, and helping homeowners avoid higher repair costs. Early intervention allows for less invasive solutions. 

Is Concrete Sidewalk Repair Necessary? 

Concrete sidewalk repair is not merely a suggestion — it is essential for safety.  

Delaying repair can exacerbate the damage, leading to more extensive and costly solutions. Timely action prevents gradual deterioration, safeguarding your financial and physical well-being.  

Integrating this repair into a comprehensive whole-home solution mitigates potential structural and environmental issues, ensuring a secure and aesthetically pleasing home. 

What Are the Benefits of Concrete Sidewalk Repair? 

Repairing your concrete sidewalk offers numerous benefits, including the following: 

Improved Safety and Accessibility 

Lifting uneven sidewalks enhances safety by eliminating trip hazards. Smoothing cracks and sealing joints creates a seamless walking surface, improving accessibility for everyone. 

Prevent Further Damage 

Neglected sidewalk issues like cracking and sinking slabs worsen over time as water seeps in and erodes the soil beneath. Stabilizing the soil and lifting the concrete prevents further deterioration. Our solutions and maintenance maximize repair longevity. 

Enhanced Curb Appeal 

Lifting damaged sidewalks enhances your property’s appearance and value. Our proprietary solutions deliver aesthetically pleasing results that endure. 

To achieve optimal functionality, choose our proprietary PolyRenewal™ system, designed for efficiency, eco-friendliness, and longevity compared to generic alternatives. 

How We Perform Concrete Sidewalk Repair 

Our expert technicians follow these steps for effective, long-lasting sidewalk repair: 

• Thoroughly inspect the sidewalk, identifying the cause of damage and necessary repairs. 
• Drill small, inconspicuous holes into the affected areas. 
• Install injection ports in the drilled holes. 
• Mix a specialized two-part, closed-cell polymer foam. 
• Inject the foam, which expands to fill voids and cures within 15 minutes.
