Experience unmatched expertise with Slabjack Geotechnical’s comprehensive concrete repair services. We are dedicated to ensuring the safety and longevity of sidewalks, offering a range of specialized solutions for both residential and commercial spaces.

Slabjacking (Concrete Raising)

At Slabjack Geotechnical, we employ state-of-the-art Slabjacking techniques to elevate and level uneven sidewalks efficiently. This method involves injecting a specialized grout mixture beneath the sunken concrete slabs, effectively raising them to their original position. This not only eliminates trip hazards but also ensures a smooth and even walking surface, enhancing the safety and aesthetics of your sidewalks.

Pressure Grouting

Our expert pressure grouting services are designed to address voids or unstable soil beneath concrete surfaces. By injecting a precisely formulated grout mixture under pressure, we stabilize the soil, providing a solid foundation for the sidewalk. This process is instrumental in preventing further settling and mitigating the risk of future trip hazards, ensuring a long-lasting and durable sidewalk repair solution.

Concrete Crack and Joint Sealing

Cracks and joints in concrete are susceptible to moisture penetration, leading to further deterioration. Slabjack Geotechnical excels in concrete crack and joint sealing, employing advanced sealants to protect against water infiltration. This meticulous approach not only preserves the structural integrity of the sidewalk but also prevents the formation of new trip hazards, contributing to the longevity of the repair.

How We Repair Sidewalk Trip Hazards

Our sidewalk trip hazard repair process is a meticulous and efficient journey, ensuring the restoration of safe and even walkways. Here’s a step-by-step overview of how our expert team addresses and eliminates trip hazards

1. Inspection and Assessment

Our process begins with a thorough inspection and assessment of the sidewalk area. Our skilled technicians evaluate the extent of the trip hazards, identifying any underlying issues contributing to the uneven surfaces.

2. Slabjacking Analysis

For sunken or uneven concrete slabs, we conduct a detailed Slabjacking analysis. This involves determining the optimal grout mixture and injection points to efficiently lift and level the affected slabs, eliminating trip hazards.

3. Precision Slabjacking

Employing state-of-the-art equipment, our team performs precision Slabjacking by injecting the specialized grout mixture beneath the sunken slabs. This controlled process ensures the gradual elevation of the concrete to its original position, resulting in a smooth and level walking surface.

4. Pressure Grouting for Stability

In cases where unstable soil is contributing to trip hazards, our pressure grouting comes into play. We inject a carefully formulated grout mixture under pressure to stabilize the soil, providing a solid foundation and preventing further settling.

5. Concrete Crack and Joint Sealing

To address existing cracks and joints in the sidewalk, we apply advanced sealing techniques. This not only preserves the structural integrity of the concrete but also prevents moisture infiltration, reducing the risk of future trip hazards.

6. Final Inspection and Quality Assurance

Once the repair process is complete, our team conducts a final inspection to ensure the sidewalks meet our stringent quality standards. We prioritize not only the elimination of trip hazards but also the enhancement of overall safety and durability.
