Sidewalks

Trip hazards in sidewalks can cause lots of literal and legal headaches for property managers and owners.  Concrete Jack's slabjacking and concrete leveling crews can remove most trip hazards in minutes, and the areas are open to immediate use.  In each series of photos below, the panels in the picture were raised in less than 15 minutes, with no access downtime (sidewalks remained open during work).

Concrete Jack injects grout under your existing concrete, so other than the holes, which are patched, there is no disruption to the surface.  The repairs shown in the photos cost around 1/4 the price of tearing out and replacing concrete, don't send any concrete to the dump, and allow immediate access without leaving large areas of non-matching concrete.

This residential sidewalk dropped about an inch below the adjacent slabs.

There are two patches in this photo; can you spot them?

Before

This sidewalk at a commercial property dropped nearly three inches below the top of the adjacent curb.

After

Concrete Jack raised the sidewalk back to level with the curb to eliminate any potential trip hazards.

Before

The main sidewalk at a dentist's office in Richmond had settled behind the curb, up to two inches.

After

Concrete Jack's crews removed the previously-applied patch from one of the joints, and then raised all of the slabs back to their original levels to eliminate the dangerous trip hazards.  Patches are mixed to blend into the existing concrete after they cure (takes about a week) for smooth concrete; these patches are about 5 minutes old, so they stand out.

Before

In addition to the sidewalks that had settled behind the curb, this sidewalk at the bottom of the steps had settled about four inches.  There was a three foot deep void under the slab, most likely due to settlement of a utility trench.

After

After filling the large void, Concrete Jack's skilled concrete leveling technicians were able to raise the slab back to a safe level that directed water away from the foundation.

Before

The sidewalks had dropped up to two inches, creating a significant tripping hazard.

After

Concrete Jack's skilled concrete leveling technicians were able to raise all of the sidewalk that had dropped behind the curb in one Sunday morning.  This not only eliminated the trip hazards, but also avoided any disruption to the tenant's businesses.

Before

This residential sidewalk dropped about an inch, creating a somewhat significant tripping hazard.

After

Concrete Jack's skilled technicians were able to permanently raise the settled slab in just a few minutes.
