Why concrete Walkways sink
Walkways and sidewalks are exposed to a lot of wear and tear. When the soil supporting the concrete becomes weak, the concrete can crack and sink. There are many things that can create a void beneath the slab, such as erosion from rainwater or gutter runoff, or a tree root that has rotted over time. Dirt fill underneath the slab that has not been well compacted can also create voids beneath the concrete. Regardless of what’s caused your sidewalk to sink, we can fix it!
Concrete Step Repair & Leveling FAQ
Most concrete step leveling and repair projects take our crews a single day to complete, and Polylevel cures quickly, allowing your concrete to be used normally just 15 minutes after installation. Alternate solutions like mudjacking or concrete replacement often require more time and disruption, as well as longer cure times which could mean parking on the street and avoiding your garage for several days.
After lifting and leveling your concrete stairs with PolyLevel, our crews fill and seal any cracks or joints. This prevents water infiltration through cracks and joints, which in turn helps prevent the soil below your concrete stairs from softening and eroding over
time. We use a high quality, silicone-based sealant called NexusPro. It’s specially engineered to stand up to harsh weather conditions, and unlike traditional urethane sealants, it is UV-resistant to prevent drying, cracking, bubbling or yellowing.
Polylevel polyurethane foam is pumped beneath concrete stairs through tiny ports about the size of a penny. Initially, Polylevel flows like water, filling even the smallest cracks and crevices in the soil. It quickly expands and hardens, lifting the concrete slabs above it and compressing the soil around it at the same time. Polylevel is waterproof, so it will never wash out, and it won’t degrade over time due to temperature extremes. It’s environmentally friendly, too, with no environmentally harmful chemical leaching. Best of all, Polylevel cures quickly, allowing your concrete to be used normally the same day.
There are several factors that influence the cost for concrete step repair, including the extent of the damage and the method of repair. When we visit your home for the first time, you can expect a thorough inspection and a thorough explanation of the solution we propose to repair your concrete steps and why. You’ll receive a same-day, no obligation estimate for repair, which is calculated by our custom software to ensure a fair and accurate price for every homeowner. You’ll also receive a copy of our warranty so you know what’s covered and for how long.
Restoring the walkway with concrete leveling
Some areas require home and business owners to maintain the sidewalks adjoining their property. If someone trips and falls on the sidewalk in front of your home, you might be liable. It’s important to check your town or city’s sidewalk regulations.
Concrete lifting with PolyLevel® is a practical, affordable solution for concrete sidewalk repair. In addition to taking less time and costing you less, concrete leveling is far less disruptive to the landscaping. If the concrete is ripped out and repoured, the grass can be damaged from the heavy equipment and the removal of the old slab. With PolyLevel® injection lifting, there’s almost no waiting for the concrete to cure before you can walk on it. With concrete replacement, it usually takes about a day for the concrete to cure.
