Before & Afters
Check Out Some
What Causes
Cracks In Sidewalk?
Understanding the potential causes of cracks in sidewalks and concrete can help homeowners identify, treat, and prevent future issues from arising.
Heavy Rain & Flooding
Heavy rain and flooding can cause soil expansion and contraction, leading to cracks and uneven surfaces in your sidewalk.
Tree Roots
Tree roots can grow underneath your sidewalk, exerting pressure that leads to cracks and structural damage.
Soil Settling
As soil settles over time, it can create voids under your sidewalk, resulting in cracks or an uneven surface showing up in the sidewalk.
Soil Erosion
Soil erosion from water runoff can remove the support underneath your sidewalk, causing it to crack and become unstable.
Cold Temperature
Freezing and thawing cycles can cause the concrete in your sidewalk to expand and contract, leading to cracks.
Poor Initial Installation
Improper installation techniques can leave your sidewalk vulnerable to cracks and structural issues from the start.
Are Cracks In My
Sidewalk Serious?
Addressing cracks, uneven surfaces, and other damages on the sidewalk promptly is essential for several reasons. Here's why you might want to keep an eye on the cracks in your concrete.
Prevent Further Damage
Without proper repairs, existing damage will worsen over time. Small cracks allow water to penetrate and damage the steel rebar inside, leading to more extensive cracking. Fixing cracks at the first sign can prevent escalation and additional costs.
Ensure Safety
Cracking and uneven concrete on the sidewalk create safety hazards for users. Effective repairs eliminate tripping hazards and potential injuries.
Avoid Expensive Repairs
The more damage occurs, the more extensive and costly the repairs will be. It is more cost-effective to fix minor issues now than to replace the entire sidewalk later.
Enhance Property Value
Cracks and deterioration negatively affect the appearance of your property. Quick repairs help maintain aesthetic appeal and structural integrity.

Inspection
Our team thoroughly examines your sidewalk to identify the damage and determine the optimal repair plan, including ideal lifting points.
Drill Holes and Insert Ports
We drill small, penny-sized holes in the affected areas and insert custom injection ports to access the area beneath the slab.
Mix and Inject Foam
We blend the proprietary components of our high-density polyurethane foam and pump it beneath the concrete through the injection ports.
Foam Expansion and Lifting
The foam rapidly expands and hardens within 15 minutes, filling voids and gently lifting the concrete slab back into place.
Seal and Maintain
We remove the injection ports, patch the access holes, seal all cracks and joints to prevent water intrusion, and recommend periodic maintenance for long-term durability.
