If you are considering repairing your concrete sidewalk or walkway because it’s sunken or uneven, turn to A-1 Concrete Leveling St. Louis. We are St. Louis’s locally owned branch of America’s largest concrete sidewalk leveling company. We will repair your sidewalk by leveling the concrete, rather than tearing it out and replacing it.
Sidewalk Leveling of a stamped concrete sidewalk uses 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 beauty to the home.
In St. Louis’s climate, heavy rainfall alternates with drought, causing clay soil to expand and contract. This movement may crack and settle your concrete, as well as create voids beneath slabs. Water may also pool next to your concrete, causing erosion and settling.

Causes of Sunken Concrete Sidewalks
Sidewalks 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 sidewalk from a downspout, or water that’s getting under the slabs and freezing and thawing causing the concrete to heave, during our thorough evaluation process, A-1 Concrete St. Louis 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.

“Extreme wet and dry conditions that we have in this region lead to erosion and setting of the ground. This causes all concrete to develop voids and/or settle over time. Additionally, drainage problems will cause further water erosion under and around concrete, that if left will cause cracking and sinking of the concrete.”
—Alan Benes, Owner, A-1 Concrete St. Louis

St. Louis 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.
This sidewalk had sunk so much, rain was washing the landscaping over the crack, most likely funneling water beneath the slab causing more damage.
After the concrete sidewalk was lifted, A-1 St. Louis installed a non-shrink, long-lasting caulk to the crack to keep water from getting under the slab again.

“We will drill 1" holes in the sunken concrete and then pump a crushed limestone/portland cement mixture under the concrete to fill any voids before creating pressure to lift the concrete back into place. We then will clean up the jobsite and seal up the drill holes.”
