Sidewalk settlement contributes to foundation issues
Fixing a settled walkway next to your foundation can help prevent water from collecting near your foundation and potentially causing damage. Here are the steps you can take to fix a settled walkway:
Remove any plant material or debris from the settled walkway.
Determine the cause of the settling. It could be due to poor drainage, soil erosion, or the weight of the walkway.
If the soil under the walkway is too soft, you may need to excavate the area and install a new base of compacted gravel or crushed stone to provide a stable foundation.
You may need to add more soil to the settled area and compact it to create a level surface for the walkway.
If the walkway is still uneven, you can use a concrete resurfacer to level it out. Mix the resurfacer according to the manufacturer's instructions, pour it onto the walkway, and use a trowel to smooth it out.
Allow the concrete resurfacer to dry according to the manufacturer's instructions.
After the concrete resurfacer has dried, you can apply a concrete sealant to protect the surface from water and other damage.
In addition to these steps, it's important to ensure that the area around the walkway has proper drainage to prevent water from pooling near the foundation. If the settling is due to a more serious issue, such as foundation problems, it's best to consult with a professional to ensure proper repairs are made.
