Sidewalk Repair in South Carolina and Western North Carolina

Sidewalks are more than pathways; they’re community connectors. Yet, with South Carolina’s temperate climate and Western North Carolina’s mountainous terrain, sidewalks face a good amount of wear and tear.

Understanding Sidewalk Damage

From Charleston’s historic districts to the Blue Ridge Mountains, varying environmental conditions can stress sidewalks. Frequent rain, soil erosion, and shifting land contribute to concrete challenges. Traditional repair techniques might offer a brief fix, but they often overlook underlying issues. Mount Valley’s advanced solutions are rooted in understanding regional challenges and addressing them head-on.

Key Signs of Damage

Awareness of potential sidewalk damage is crucial for property owners. Keep an eye out for the following:

Noticeable cracks
Uneven sections of the sidewalk
Sinking or tilted slabs
Discoloration on the surface
Areas where water pools after rainfall

Addressing these signs early with Mount Valley can save time, money, and reduce safety risks.

Our Sidewalk Repair Process:

We adopt a comprehensive approach:

Inspection: Our experts conduct a thorough evaluation of the sidewalk to understand the extent and root causes of the damage.
Preparation: The damaged area is cleaned to remove any debris or obstructions.
Drilling: Tiny, strategically-placed holes are drilled into the affected concrete slabs.
Foam Injection: Using specialized equipment, the two-part PolyRenewal™ polyurethane foam is injected into the holes. As it enters the voids beneath the slab, the foam expands.
Lifting and Leveling: The expanding foam exerts an upward pressure, lifting the sinking or uneven concrete slabs back to their original level.
Curing: The foam hardens quickly, often within 15 minutes, providing a stable and durable base beneath the slabs.
Sealing: The drilled holes are then sealed, ensuring they blend seamlessly with the rest of the sidewalk.
Final Check: Our experts conduct a final walkthrough to ensure the sidewalk is level, safe, and aesthetically pleasing.
Maintenance Tips: Homeowners are provided with tips to maintain the longevity of the repair, though PolyRenewal™ typically requires minimal maintenance.
