Sidewalks are one of the most heavily used concrete surfaces in any community. Whether it’s children walking to school, neighbors taking evening strolls, or delivery drivers moving from house to house, sidewalks see constant traffic. Over time, however, sidewalks can settle unevenly due to soil erosion, water issues, and other causes of concrete settlement. Uneven sidewalks aren’t just an eyesore—they’re a serious liability. That’s why more and more cities and Homeowners Associations (HOAs) are choosing slab jacking as a cost-effective, safe, and long-lasting solution for sidewalk repair.
The Problem with Uneven Sidewalks
When sidewalks sink or crack, they create tripping hazards. For HOAs, this means unhappy residents and potential lawsuits. For cities, it can lead to injury claims, repair backlogs, and higher maintenance costs. Traditional concrete replacement is expensive, disruptive, and time-consuming—often leaving neighborhoods without safe walking paths for weeks.
Concrete Lifting with Slab Jacking
Concrete lifting, also called slab jacking, provides a smarter alternative. Instead of tearing out and replacing concrete slabs, slab jacking uses specialized equipment to inject a material underneath the sunken slab. This material—often high-density polyurethane foam—expands, fills voids, and gently raises the slab back into position. The result? Smooth, level sidewalks without the hassle of full replacement.
Why Cities and HOAs Prefer Slab Jacking
- Cost Savings – Slab jacking is typically 50–75% less expensive than replacement, allowing HOAs and municipalities to stretch their budgets further and repair more sidewalks at once.
- Quick Repairs – Sidewalks lifted with polyurethane foam are ready to use in as little as 15 minutes, minimizing disruption for residents.
- Durability – Foam injection not only lifts the slab but also stabilizes the soil, reducing the risk of future settlement.
- Safety – Eliminating trip hazards reduces liability risks, protecting HOAs and municipalities from costly claims.
- Eco-Friendly – Concrete lifting preserves existing materials and keeps broken slabs out of landfills.
