The Best Way to Fix Uneven Concrete Driveways and Sidewalks
For many homeowners, uneven concrete is one of those problems that’s easy to ignore.
In Michigan, your uneven concrete driveway or sinking patio is often out of sight, out of mind because it is hidden under snow for months at a time, until warmer weather arrives and you are back outside walking across it every day.
When the ground underneath shifts or erodes, concrete slabs lose their support, causing them to sink, crack, and become unlevel. Without proper repair, these issues only continue to worsen over time.
A Permanent, Long-Lasting Solution
To restore both safety and stability a multi-step solution is advised:
- PolyLevel® Injection: We inject PolyLevel beneath the sinking sidewalk or driveway sections to fill voids and lift the slabs back into place. This lightweight, durable material stabilizes the soil and prevents further settlement.
- Joint Sealing: We seal the expansion joints with NexusPro® to keep water from seeping below the concrete, helping protect against future erosion and damage.
- Concrete Sealant: We apply a protective concrete sealant to help guard against moisture intrusion, surface wear, and weather-related damage, extending the life of the repair.
When you choose to protect your concrete with all three of our solutions, you'll have permanent peace of mind knowing your concrete repair will last. At Ayers, concrete repair projects include a 5-year warranty when both PolyLevel® and NexusPro® joint sealant are installed, protecting lifted and sealed joints.
