Walkway And Sidewalk Lifting

Walkway and sidewalk lifting is a cost-effective, efficient solution for uneven or sunken concrete paths around your property. Over time, soil erosion, moisture changes, and ground settling can cause concrete slabs to sink or become misaligned. At Vortex Concrete Repair, we specialize in lifting and leveling these surfaces using advanced polyurethane foam injection techniques that restore safety and curb appeal without the mess of full replacement.

Uneven sidewalks don’t just look bad—they pose serious tripping hazards and potential liability for property owners. Our precision lifting method raises the sunken sections back to their original position, creating a smooth, level surface. The foam we use expands quickly, fills voids beneath the concrete, and cures within minutes, allowing for immediate use and minimal disruption to your routine.

Whether you're dealing with residential walkways or public sidewalks, our team ensures a long-lasting, environmentally friendly solution that strengthens your concrete and prevents future settlement. Vortex Concrete Repair is committed to helping you maintain clean, safe, and structurally sound paths that add value to your home or property.

Sidewalk Leveling

Sidewalk leveling restores safe, even walking surfaces without the cost and mess of replacement. Vortex Concrete Repair uses precision polyurethane foam injection to gently lift settled panels back into plane, eliminating trip edges and improving drainage. The high-density foam expands to fill hidden voids, stabilizes weak subgrade, and provides long-term support with minimal added weight—unlike traditional slurry methods. Most projects require only small injection ports, cure in minutes, and are ready for foot traffic the same day. To finish, we align joints, close gaps, and seal with flexible caulk for a clean, durable result that supports strollers, wheelchairs, and everyday use.

Sunken Concrete Repair

Sunken concrete is usually the result of soil washout, poor compaction, plumbing leaks, or seasonal moisture swings. Our team diagnoses the cause first, then installs targeted lifts using hydrophobic polyurethane designed to resist water and deliver high compressive strength. The material flows into voids, densifies the base, and raises slabs with precise control to avoid over-lifting or cracking. Because the foam is lightweight and inert, it won’t overload soft soils or leach fines. We finish by repairing surface defects, matching patch color where possible, and sealing joints to help prevent future settlement.

Raising A Sidewalk

Raising a sidewalk with polyurethane follows a proven, low-disruption process. We survey the walkway, mark lift points, and drill small ports near edges. Controlled injections slowly elevate the slab while lasers or digital levels guide the lift to exact tolerances. As the panel returns to grade, the expanding foam locks the subgrade, reduces rocking, and closes hazardous lips. Ports are neatly patched, joints are recaulked, and any minor spalls are addressed for a uniform look. The area is ready for use within minutes, delivering a safer, smoother path without tearing out concrete or disturbing landscaping.
