Sunken Sidewalk Solution In Toms River, NJ
Challenge
Soil displacement and prolonged exposure to moisture had taken a toll on a Toms River, NJ homeowner’s sidewalk, causing the concrete slabs to sink and become uneven. The disheveled condition posed a serious tripping hazard and diminished the overall curb appeal of the property. Concerned about safety and the risk of further damage, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for a professional and permanent repair solution.
Solution
After arriving at the property, our team performed a thorough inspection to identify the extent of the settling and determine the best course of action. Based on our assessment, we designed a customized repair strategy that addressed both the immediate issue and the underlying causes. We chose to use our PolyLevel Foam Injection System, which is designed to lift sunken concrete by filling voids and stabilizing the soil beneath. This minimally invasive technique allows for precise leveling without the disruption or cost of full concrete replacement. To complete the project and ensure long-term durability, we applied our UV-resistant NexusPro Joint Sealant to protect the newly leveled slabs from future moisture infiltration. This advanced sealant not only guards against erosion but also enhances the overall appearance of the walkway by sealing cracks and joints with a clean, finished look. The combination of PolyLevel and NexusPro completely transformed the sidewalk into a safe, level, and visually appealing surface, much to the satisfaction of the homeowner!
