Sidewalk Repair and Leveling in Waldorf Maryland
Challenge
Preventative maintenance can save homeowners from costly repairs down the line. For a customer in Waldorf, Maryland, noticing a void under their sidewalk was enough to take quick action. Concerned about the potential for cracking and sinking, they reached out to NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair. They wanted a solution that would stabilize the sidewalk, ensuring it remained safe and intact.
During an initial inspection, it was clear that a void beneath the sidewalk posed a serious risk. Left unchecked, the unsupported section could settle further, leading to cracks, uneven surfaces, and a tripping hazard. These issues could quickly escalate, making it critical to address the problem before any noticeable damage occurred.
The customer recognized the growing risk of structural issues and wisely chose a proactive approach to stabilize the sidewalk before visible damage required a more extensive repair or replacement.
Solution
To address and eliminate the risk posed by the void, our team employed PolyLevel®, an advanced foam injection system specifically designed to stabilize and level concrete surfaces.
- Stabilization with PolyLevel® Foam: By injecting PolyLevel foam beneath the sidewalk, we filled the void and provided crucial support to the concrete slab. The foam expanded to fill the gaps, creating a solid, durable foundation while carefully lifting and leveling the sidewalk as needed.
- Long-Term Durability: PolyLevel not only stabilized the sidewalk but also offered protection against sinking and cracking in the future. Its lightweight and water-resistant properties make it an ideal, long-lasting solution for void fill and concrete support.
The repair was minimally invasive, quick, and efficient—from start to finish, we ensured the process caused as little disruption as possible to the customer’s daily routine.
The outcome was a solid, stable sidewalk that looked as good as new. The customer’s proactive decision to address the issue early prevented future problems, saving them time and added expense. They were incredibly pleased with the results, noting the peace of mind that came from knowing the sidewalk was now safe, secure, and well-supported.
The repair not only eliminated the void but also safeguarded the sidewalk against further settling, ensuring it would remain intact for years to come.
