A sidewalk panel that's an inch higher than its neighbor isn't just ugly. It's a liability waiting on a mailman or a kid on a bike.

Pleasant Grove Foundation Pros lifts individual sidewalk panels back to grade with polyurethane foam instead of pulling the whole run and pouring new concrete. Same panel, same day, back to level.

Materials

Materials and Methods for Sidewalk Lifting

  • Polyurethane Foam photo

    Polyurethane Foam

    Raises sidewalk slabs quickly, minimal cure time means the walkway is usable again the same day.

  • Patch Mix photo

    Patch Mix

    Fills access holes flush so the repair doesn't stand out as a new trip point itself.

  • Joint Sealant photo

    Joint Sealant

    Reseals panel joints after lifting so water doesn't get back under the slab this winter.

  • Surface Protectant photo

    Surface Protectant

    Helps the repaired panel hold up to freeze-thaw cycling without re-cracking.

  • Alignment Gauge photo

    Alignment Gauge

    Measures height difference panel to panel so the fix actually eliminates the trip hazard.

  • Bonding Primer photo

    Bonding Primer

    Improves patch adhesion so the fill doesn't pop loose under foot traffic.
