If you are considering repairing your concrete walkway or walkway because it’s sunken or uneven, turn to A-1 Concrete Leveling Northern Virginia. We are Northern Virginia’s locally owned branch of America’s largest concrete walkway leveling company. We will repair your walkway by leveling the concrete, rather than tearing it out and replacing it.

Leveling of a stamped concrete walkway using an environmentally friendly limestone grout mixture pumped beneath the concrete. This creates a rock-solid base ensuring many years of level concrete, eliminating trip-hazards and restoring beauty to the home.

In Northern Virginia, the main causes of unlevel concrete are water and clay soil. Rainfall causes clay to expand, while dry weather causes it to contract. This movement may crack or settle your concrete. Water may also freeze and thaw over the winter, causing soil under concrete to recede, or water can pool next to your concrete, causing erosion and settling. In addition, voids often form as a result of poorly compacted clay backfill.

"Our issue here with voids is really due mostly to the soil composition. We have something here we call dirt, but it's actually clay. When you disturb clay, it ends up being big and chunky and traps lots of air, so the issue that really causes a lot of problems here is when they excavate and backfill, they're backfilling with clay. It's uncompacted and has air entrapment and allows voids to form and the concrete to sink."

Causes of Sunken Concrete Walkways

Walkways can get out-of-level for a number of different reasons. But, the primary cause of sunken or uneven concrete walkways is water. Whether it’s water running under the walkway from a downspout, or water that’s getting under the slabs and causing the soil to expand or contract, which in turn causes the concrete to heave, A-1 Concrete Leveling Northern Virginia will always recommend ways to stop your concrete walkways and sidewalks from sinking in the future––ensuring you have beautiful, safe concrete for years to come.
