Sidewalk Repair

Do you find yourself tripping on the sidewalk just outside your home a lot? If so, does it look cracked or uneven? If both of these statements are true, then you need sidewalk repair.
Innovative Basement Authority has the tools and experience to help, serving homeowners in the Midwest since 2005. Read on to see how we repair concrete.
What is Sidewalk Repair?


Sidewalk repair is what it sounds like: fixing damage such as uneven or cracking sections on a sidewalk. Overall, it makes the concrete safer for everyone.
You won’t have to worry about tripping unexpectedly while walking the dog or hitting a bump on your bike. With sidewalk repair, concrete pathways become smooth and stable.
We use a concrete leveling method called polyurethane foam to repair sidewalks. Once injected under the concrete, the foam expands, fills gaps, and lifts the concrete all at once. In just 15 minutes, it’s strong enough to support the full weight of the sidewalk.
Signs You Need Sidewalk Repair
Good news, sidewalk damage is easy to spot. Here are the key signs to look out for:

- Cracks of any kind, especially those exceeding ¼ inch in width.
- Uneven or sinking sections of concrete.
- Sections of the sidewalk that move or shift when stepped on
- Surface damage like pitting, flaking, and staining
- Water or mud collecting on specific areas of the sidewalk
If you notice even just one of these signs, schedule a free inspection with Innovative Basement Authority Bay as soon as possible. The sooner repairs get done, the better.
Is Sidewalk Repair Necessary?

Dealing with sidewalk damage isn’t something anyone looks forward to. However, ignoring concrete issues will only lead to bigger (and more expensive) headaches. Sidewalk repair isn’t just a good idea—it’s necessary.
With our industry leading concrete lifting technique, your sidewalk not only looks better but also becomes safer in just a few hours. Say goodbye to worries about twisted ankles or injuries once we lift and stabilize your sidewalk.
Sidewalk repair requires professional tools and expertise. DIY fixes like hydraulic cement might patch the problem temporarily, but they won’t address the root cause. Trust a team like Innovative Basement Authority who has a history of successful concrete lifting results.

FAQs
While there are DIY kits available, the process requires precision and knowledge of the materials being used. It’s generally recommended to hire professionals to ensure a safe and effective lift.
The holes required for concrete lifting are small (about the size of a penny) and are filled in afterward. Our SettleStop™ PolyRenewal™ system holes are significantly smaller than the holes required for mudjacking. Holes for mudjacking are usually 1-2 inches in diameter.
