Sidewalk Repair
Don't let cracked sidewalks risk your family's safety any longer. Learn how Groundworks fixes concrete surfaces with PolyRenewal™.
Schedule Inspection
Cracked and uneven concrete sidewalks ruin your home’s appearance and are a major trip hazard, risking the safety of your family and guests. Unfortunately, traditional concrete repair methods like mudjacking are messy and wash away, and they won’t solve the most likely cause of your problem—unstable soil and water accumulation.
So what can you do? Other than replacing your sidewalks, which is both expensive and invasive, you might want to consider SettleStop™ PolyRenewal™ from Groundworks. Our proprietary product can lift and stabilize concrete surfaces on your Edmonton property, helping you improve safety, boost curb appeal, and preserve your home’s worth.
What is Concrete Sidewalk Repair?
This process involves fixing cracks and other deterioration, lifting and levelling misaligned slabs, and restoring concrete to its original condition. It also tackles the issues that caused your damaged sidewalk, such as expansive soil, water oversaturation, and freeze-thaw cycles—all common in Edmonton.
PolyRenewal™ is more than a quick fix. We inject this polyurethane foam into sidewalks to fill cracks and level concrete to a more stable position without damaging surrounding areas. It’s environmentally friendly, lighter than mudjacking, and cures in as little as 15 minutes.
We can use PolyRenewal™ as a standalone sidewalk repair solution or as part of our broader concrete lifting and foundation repair service.
Signs Your Concrete Sidewalk Needs Repair
It’s probably time to repair your sidewalk if you notice any of the following issues:
- Cracks that exceed ¼”
- Uneven, settling, or sinking slabs
- Noticeable height disparities between slabs
- Slabs that wobble or move when you step on them
- Pitting, flaking, staining
- Mud or water accumulation on the sidewalk
Is Concrete Sidewalk Repair Necessary?
Fixing cracked and sunken sidewalks is essential for your family’s safety. Ignoring problem signs can lead to further deterioration, additional trip hazards, and potential structural issues with your property. The longer you leave it, the fewer repair options you have.
Nobody in Edmonton wants to pay for concrete sidewalk repair. However, your bills will only be higher if your situation gets worse.
Benefits of Concrete Sidewalk Repair
The advantages of repairing a concrete sidewalk include:
- Enhance Safety and Accessibility: Lifting uneven sidewalks improves safety by eliminating tripping hazards. Smoothing out cracks and sealing joints provides a more level and stable walking surface, increasing accessibility for everyone who lives in and visits your home.
- Stop Further Damage: If left untreated, cracking and sinking slabs can worsen as water erodes the underlying soil. Concrete lifting and soil stabilization protect you against ongoing damage.
- Boost Curb Appeal: Repairing damaged sidewalks improves your property’s appearance and can increase its value.

Sidewalk Repair FAQs
Minor cracks in concrete might not be a massive cause for concern right now. However, they can widen over time and cause more severe issues, so it’s worth contacting a local concrete expert for peace of mind. Cracks wider than ¼”, however, require immediate attention to prevent further deterioration to your property.
We don’t recommend it. Most concrete repair products from the hardware store are just temporary fixes. They won’t solve the root cause of your sidewalk problem and might even cause more damage. Leave things to the experts instead.
We can fix sidewalks in as little as a day with PolyRenewal™, considerably faster than mudjacking and other concrete repair methods. We’ll give you a time estimate for your project during our free inspection.
