In Chicago, a homeowner had a section of sidewalk that had settled significantly over time, creating an uneven walking surface and a potential safety hazard. While many sinking concrete slabs can be restored through concrete leveling, this particular sidewalk had deteriorated beyond the point where lifting was a practical long-term solution.
After evaluating the concrete’s condition, our team determined that replacement was the best option. We carefully removed the sunken sidewalk section, prepared a stable base, and poured new concrete to create a smooth, level walking surface. By addressing the underlying issues before installation, we ensured the new sidewalk would provide lasting performance and improved safety.
The result is a brand-new sidewalk that enhances the property’s appearance and functionality. While concrete leveling is often an excellent solution, some projects require a full replacement to achieve the best outcome. This homeowner now has a durable, stable sidewalk built to withstand Chicago’s changing seasons for years to come.
