This homeowner in Ashby, MA was concerned with the concrete walkway leading up to the entrance of their house. The walkway was uneven and full of trip hazards due to the uneven concrete. Over the years, as water eroded away the soils under the slabs, voids formed, and the concrete began to sink.
Our team proposed lifting the sunken areas with PolyLevel, a polyurethane based foam product, which effectively fills all the voids beneath the concrete and lifts it to the desired location. Demolishing and replacing this concrete walkway would be expensive and take several days to complete. With PolyLevel, our team left behind no mess, finished in a single day, and saved the homeowner money while delivering with a great solution.
The trip hazards are now gone, and they have peace of mind that guests visiting their home will be safe while walking up to the front door.

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!

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.
