Photo Album: Concrete Walkway Trip Hazard Removal in Hudson, Florida
Barbara noticed that the concrete walkway on the side of her home in Hudson, Florida had become uneven. Some slabs had sunk below others, creating significant trip hazards. She also noticed an increasing number of cracks appearing on the surface of the concrete. To address this issue, she contacted LRE Foundation Repair to inspect the concrete and determine the cause of the problem. The LRE team sent a Design Specialist who carefully examined the concrete and identified soil erosion underneath, partially caused by a nearby downspout from the roof's gutter system. To repair the concrete, the LRE team implemented the Two-Part Concrete Protection System. First, they injected PolyLevel underneath the slabs to elevate them to their proper position. Then, they sealed the cracks and joints with NexusPro to prevent water from seeping down underneath the concrete. Barbara's concrete walkway has been fully repaired, which has eased her concerns about potential trip hazards and injuries in the future.
Cracked and Settled Concrete Walkway
Soil erosion beneath the homeowner's walkway has led to cracking and settling of the concrete, resulting in an uneven surface.
Concrete Trip Hazard
When concrete slabs settle, they may become uneven with each other, posing potential tripping hazards that can result in serious injury.
Leveling and Stabilizing Concrete With PolyLevel
The LRE team begins the first step of the Two-Part Concrete Protection System by injecting PolyLevel underneath the concrete slabs. This solution works to lift and level the slabs, effectively eliminating tripping hazards.
NexusPro Application
The LRE team seals the cracks and joints of the concrete walkway with the NexusPro to prevent water intrusion underneath the surface.
Complete Concrete Walkway Repair
Following the complete implementation of the Two-Part Concrete Protection System by the LRE team, the homeowner's walkway is now level, permanently stabilized, and free of trip hazards.
