Sidewalk Repair 

Sidewalk path leading to a home.

Ever feel like you’re playing hopscotch while just trying to walk on the sidewalk? You need sidewalk repair, and Foundation Recovery Systems can help.

For over 30 years, we’ve been helping homeowners across Missouri, Illinois, Iowa, Arkansas, and Kansas, using modern concrete lifting techniques to stabilize driveways and restore their safety. Read on to see why our concrete repair method is industry leading.

What is Sidewalk Repair?

Before (left) and after (right) sidewalk repair.

Sidewalk repair is all about fixing safety hazards on a concrete pathway (like uneven and cracking sections). Overall, it makes your property safer for everyone.

You won’t trip unexpectedly while walking the dog or have to jump over puddles of water collecting on the sidewalk. With sidewalk repair, concrete pathways become more smooth and stable.

We use 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

Sidewalk damage is easy to spot. Here are the key signs to look out for:

Cracking and uneven section of sidewalk.

If you see any of these signs of damage, or you’re unsure whether or not a sidewalk needs repairs, consider scheduling a free inspection with us!

Is Sidewalk Repair Necessary? 

Level concrete sidewalk.

We get it—dealing with sidewalk damage isn’t exactly on anyone’s wish list. But ignoring concrete issues can lead to more headaches down the road (and trust us, that’s no fun). Sidewalk repair isn’t just necessary; it’s a game-changer.

With our swift and cutting-edge sidewalk repair technique, your sidewalk not only looks better but also becomes safer to walk on in just a few hours. Say goodbye to worries about twisted ankles or bike spills once we lift and stabilize your sidewalk.

This isn’t a job for just anyone; it requires professional tools and experience. DIY fixes like hydraulic cement might cover up the problem temporarily, but they won’t address the root cause. Work with a team like Foundation Recovery Systems for concrete leveling that solves the problem the first time.
