Cracked and Unlevel Front Walkway Stored in Beltsville, MD
Challenge
A safe and level sidewalk isn't just essential for functionality—it also plays a key role in your home’s curb appeal. For a homeowner in Beltsville, MD, a cracked sidewalk with unstable voids underneath was both a safety concern and an eyesore. They reached out to us for a lasting solution, and we were ready to deliver.
Upon inspection, it was clear the sidewalk had seen better days. The damage wasn’t just superficial; several voids underneath the concrete meant sections of the sidewalk were uneven and at risk of further sinking. Cracks running along the surface added to its worn-out appearance, making the sidewalk both unattractive and potentially unsafe for everyday use.
The homeowner needed a solution to level the concrete, fill the voids, and repair the visible cracks. These repairs were crucial to ensuring stability, preventing further damage, and restoring the overall look of the property.
Solution
After assessing the situation, our team proposed a comprehensive two-part solution that addressed the root cause and improved the sidewalk’s appearance:
-
Poly Level Injection: To stabilize and level the sidewalk, we used poly level foam. This cutting-edge material expands to fill voids beneath the concrete and reinforce the structure from below. Once injected, it lifted the concrete slabs back to their proper height, ensuring a smooth and even surface.
-
Nexus Pro Crack Repair: For the surface cracks, we applied Nexus Pro, a high-quality sealant designed specifically for concrete repairs. This durable material filled the cracks and created a seamless finish, preventing water from seeping in and causing further damage over time.
This two-step approach not only restored the sidewalk but also provided a long-term solution to prevent future settlement or deterioration.
The poly level injection stabilized the sidewalk, eliminating all uneven areas. Nexus Pro gave the surface a polished, cohesive look that significantly boosted the home’s curb appeal. What was once a cracked and sinking walkway became a safe, smooth, and visually appealing path.
