Sidewalk Lifting & Leveling
Uneven sidewalk joints can catch feet, wheels, and mobility aids. We bring settled panels back flush without demolition.
Sidewalk panels settle one at a time, and the half-inch difference at a joint is exactly what catches a toe. Uneven joints can make everyday access more difficult.
Polyurethane lifting fixes the panel that moved instead of replacing the whole run. Small holes, minutes of cure time, and targeted work can reduce uneven transitions while keeping suitable existing panels.
Signs it’s time
- Raised or dropped joints between panels
- Panels tilting toward the house or street
- Ponding water on the walk
- A citation or complaint about a trip hazard
Planning your concrete repair
We compare each settled panel with adjoining sections, steps, and entrances. The assessment looks at trip edges, panel condition, drainage, and whether a raised section or a lowered section is causing the uneven joint.
When a different repair may be needed
Polyurethane can raise a sunken panel, but it cannot lower a panel pushed upward by roots. Broken concrete, tree-root movement, or public right-of-way requirements may call for a different repair. We discuss those limits during the visit.
What affects the cost?
The area of concrete, the amount of settlement, the space beneath the slab, and access to the work all affect the quote. We inspect and measure your project in person, then email a written quote. There is no job minimum, and we do not estimate from photos alone.
Our polyurethane lifting process uses ⅜-inch injection holes and foam weighing about 4 pounds per cubic foot. We discuss the expected lift, patching, and return to use for your particular project before scheduling the work.
Do I need to replace the whole sidewalk?
Not necessarily. If the concrete is sound and the issue is settlement, lifting may allow you to keep the affected panels. We inspect the walkway before recommending lifting or explaining why replacement may be a better fit.
