If you are considering repairing your concrete sidewalk or walkway because it’s sunken or uneven, turn to A-1 Concrete Leveling South Bend.

Sidewalk Leveling of a stamped concrete sidewalk using an environmentally friendly limestone grout mixture pumped beneath the concrete. This creates a rock-solid base ensuring many years of level concrete, eliminating trip-hazards and restoring the beauty to the home.

In South Bend, the main cause of unlevel concrete is water. Frost or rainfall causes soil to expand, while warm or dry weather causes it to contract. This movement may crack or settle your concrete. Water can also pool next to your concrete, causing erosion and settling. Sometimes, voids can also form as a result of poorly compacted clay backfill.

— Brad Royer, General Manager, A-1 Concrete Leveling South Bend

Causes of Sunken Concrete Sidewalks

Walkways can get out-of-level for a number of different reasons. But, the primary cause of sunken or uneven concrete sidewalks is water. Whether it’s water running under the walkway from a downspout, or water that’s getting under the slabs and causing the soil to expand or contract, which in turn causes the concrete to heave, A-1 Concrete Leveling South Bend will always recommend ways to stop your concrete walkways and sidewalks from sinking in the future––ensuring you have beautiful, safe concrete for years to come.

“With certain types of soil, we have to watch for erosion issues, so we have to be very careful of water flow.”

— Brad Royer, General Manager, A-1 Concrete Leveling South Bend

South Bend Sidewalk Concrete Repair

This is a situation we see quite often. The sidewalk has broken away from the step and water has washed under the walkway creating a void, which caused the sidewalk to sink.

Our home is 43 years old with several cracks in the driveway concrete. I looked up A1 on the Internet. I quickly got a call back with a timely date for a salesperson to contact us to look at the job and give us a quote. Within a day or two we received a call back with a quote to grind out and caulk the cracks. Within days we got a callback for a repair date. The job was completed by a able, friendly workmen and billed to the quote. Over the years I have become jaded with low expectations for home repair work, but not this time! A1 Concrete MET and EXCEEDED my expectations and I highly recommend them for concrete work in their "wheelhouse".
