Does your sidewalk look like this?
Concrete is an essential material in our daily lives and is used for many structures, from driveways and sidewalks to patios and pool areas. However, over time, concrete can become uneven and pose a danger to those who use it. Uneven concrete can cause tripping hazards and create an eyesore, but it can also lead to more serious problems if left unchecked. Uneven concrete can be caused by many factors, including soil shifting, settling, and erosion. When concrete becomes uneven, it can create tripping hazards, making it difficult and dangerous to walk on. In addition, uneven concrete can also cause water to pool in certain areas, leading to mold growth and other moisture-related problems. To ensure the safety of your family and guests, it’s important to address uneven concrete as soon as possible.
Signs Your Concrete Needs Leveling
- Cracks or chips in the concrete
- Uneven or sloping surfaces
- Tripping hazards
- Pooling water in certain areas
- Concrete that is separating from adjacent surfaces
So what causes uneven concrete?
Uneven concrete can be caused by a variety of factors, including soil settling and shifting, erosion, poor construction techniques, and wear and tear over time. Soil settling can occur when the soil beneath the concrete settles or compacts, causing the concrete to sink or slope. Shifting soil can also cause concrete to become unlevel, especially in areas with heavy rainfall or shifting water tables. Poor construction techniques, such as not compacting the soil enough before pouring the concrete, can also lead to uneven concrete. Over time, concrete can also become unlevel due to wear and tear from heavy foot traffic, vehicles, and exposure to the elements. Addressing these issues as soon as possible is important to ensure the safety and longevity of your concrete structures.

Can my unleveled or cracked concrete/sidewalk mean my foundation needs repairs?
Unleveled concrete and foundation issues can sometimes be related, but they are not the same thing. Unleveled concrete is typically caused by soil settling or shifting, erosion, poor construction techniques, or wear and tear. On the other hand, foundation issues are typically caused by problems with the foundation itself, such as settling or cracking due to soil erosion, moisture problems, or shifting soil. In some cases, unleveled concrete can be a symptom of a larger foundation issue, and fixing the unleveled concrete may not fully solve the problem. It’s important to have a professional assess the condition of your concrete and foundation to determine the best course of action to address any issues you may be facing. By working with a foundation expert, you can ensure that your concrete and foundation are safe and secure for years to come.
