Concrete Repair Photo Album: Concrete Walkway Repair, Mendon, MA
These homeowners in Mendon, MA were concerned with the condition of their concrete walkway at the front of their home. Their asphalt driveway had settled over the years, and this left a large void beneath a section where it met the concrete sidewalk. Further up the walkway, there were further signs of settlement and uneven sections as well. Overall, they were looking for a contractor to provide them with a solution.
Our specialist designed a proposed a system to fix the problems with PolyLevel, our polymer foam service specifically for concrete repair options.
Where the driveway met the concrete walkway, our production team utilized some slab jacks to temporarily left and hold the concrete where there was a huge void beneath it. This was done to help prevent unwanted cracking as the PolyLevel was injected to fill the void and provide permanent stabilization for the concrete. Once this was complete, PolyLevel was also installed along the walkway to fill voids and stabilize the various sections as needed. Where the PolyLevel foam is visible near the driveway, the owners can make some asphalt repairs to raise the level of their driveway where it meets the garage stalls.
