Sidewalk Repair

If your sidewalk starts to crack, don’t ignore the problem! Cracked concrete is a significant trip hazard and threatens the framework of your home, resulting in expensive repairs.

Replacing your sidewalk is expensive and time-consuming, while mudjacking and other traditional concrete repair methods don’t address the source of your problem—usually unstable soil and excess water. So, what’s the alternative? SettleStop™ PolyRenewal™ from Matvey Foundation Repair lifts and restores your cracked sidewalk in a few simple steps. This polyurethane foam cures in just 15 minutes and won’t damage your soil or the surrounding ecosystem.

What Is Concrete Sidewalk Repair?

Our experts in Seattle follow a proven process that involves filling cracks, lifting concrete slabs, and restoring your sidewalk to its original position and condition.

Mudjacking and concrete repouring are two traditional sidewalk repair methods. However, they don’t solve the underlying cause of damaged concrete, meaning cracks will soon return. PolyRenewal™ goes beyond makeshift repairs by gently stabilizing cracked and misaligned slabs, creating a safer living environment for your family. We use this product both on its own and integrate it with our other concrete and foundation repair solutions. Seattle homeowners have peace of mind that their homes’ structural integrity is safe and sound.

Benefits of Concrete Sidewalk Repair

Cracked sidewalk repair allows homeowners in Western Washington to enjoy the following benefits:

Improve Safety and Accessibility

Lifting your uneven sidewalk reduces trip hazards on your property while smoothing out concrete cracks provides a more stable and level walking surface.

Avoid Further Damage

If ignored, cracking and sinking slabs worsen as water erodes the underlying soil. Lifting concrete and stabilizing soil prevents additional damage to your home.

Improve Curb Appeal

A cracked sidewalk detracts from your property’s appearance and lowers its worth over time. Our concrete lifting solutions are the key to maintaining your home’s curb appeal.
