Concrete Leveling Helps Hartford Homeowner Protect a Newer Walkway

When concrete starts sinking, it can be frustrating for any homeowner — but it is especially concerning when the concrete is only a couple of years old.

For this homeowner in Hartford, SD, the walkway and several other areas around the home had already started to settle. Even though the concrete was still relatively new, the sinking slabs were creating uneven areas and raising concerns about the problem continuing to get worse over time.

The homeowner wanted to address the issue early before the settlement became more severe or led to larger trip hazards, drainage concerns, or additional damage.

Blackburn Foundation Repair was able to help by lifting and leveling the settled concrete. Our crew carefully raised the affected areas to improve the walkway’s appearance, restore a more even surface, and help prevent the sinking from continuing to create bigger problems around the home.

Concrete settlement can happen for several reasons, including poorly compacted soil, washout beneath the slab, or changing moisture conditions in the ground. Even newer concrete can begin to sink if the soil underneath is no longer providing proper support.

By taking care of the problem early, this Hartford homeowner was able to protect their investment and improve the safety and function of their concrete before the issue became worse.
