This page is your comprehensive guide to concrete sidewalk repair, exploring signs of damage and highlighting why Bay Area Underpinning’s solution is the best choice for your home.

Recognizing the need for sidewalk repair is crucial for maintaining safety and aesthetics in your outdoor space. If your sidewalk exhibits these telltale symptoms, it likely requires repair:

• Extensive cracks wider than ¼ inch and fragmentation
• Uneven, tilted, or sinking slabs
• Significant height differences between slabs
• Visible gaps between slabs
• Slabs that rock or shift when stepped on
• Related damage like pitting, flaking, and staining
• Water or mud collecting on the sidewalk

Addressing these concerns promptly with Bay Area Underpinning can prevent safety hazards, increased damage, and higher repair costs. Early intervention allows for less invasive solutions.

Safer and Accessible Living Environment

Lifting uneven sidewalks enhances safety and eliminates trip hazards. Smoothing cracks and sealing joints creates a seamless walking surface, improving accessibility and mitigating potential liabilities.

Prevent Additional Damage

Sidewalk issues like cracks and sinking slabs worsen over time when left not repaired. Water seeping in and eroding the soil beneath exacerbates the problem. Stabilizing the soil and lifting the concrete prevents continued deterioration. Our solutions and maintenance maximize the longevity of repairs.

Bay Area Underpinning’s expert technicians follow these steps for seamless, long-lasting sidewalk repair:

• Thoroughly inspect the sidewalk to identify the cause of damage and verify the necessary repairs.
• Drill small holes into the affected sidewalk sections.
• Place injection ports in the drilled holes.
• Mix the specialized two-part, closed-cell polyurethane foam.
• Inject the foam under the sidewalk slabs.
• All the foam to expand, fill voids, and cure (approximately 15 minutes).
• Ensure proper slab lifting and soil stabilization.
• Remove the ports and fill the drilled holes.
• Apply protective sealant to cracks and joints.
• Implement regular maintenance and monitoring protocols.
