Concrete Leveling Before Halloween

Halloween and other holidays are around the corner! With the fun of the fall and winter holidays come the risks too: trips and falls on uneven concrete surfaces. Uneven concrete driveways, sidewalks, patios, and porches all can potentially cause injuries for trick-or-treaters and other visitors. Want to protect the cute kids in their superhero and princess costumes from scraped knees and twisted ankles? Want to prevent your grandmother from falling when she visits for the upcoming holidays? If the answer is yes, then you should consider concrete leveling from Spray Foam by IOK. We offer driveway leveling, sidewalk leveling, patio and porch leveling, and trip hazard repair.

Why Do Concrete Trip Hazards Happen?

Trip hazards can occur on any concrete surface over time. Why? Because of soil! Soil conditions can be a fickle beast: flooding and major weather events, leaking pipes, high groundwater levels, poorly compacted soil, and other factors can all contribute to soil loss or movement. When the soil beneath concrete moves, it loses its support system. The result? Sunken concrete slabs. The joints between slabs can become uneven, creating sudden elevation changes. These sudden changes in the height of your concrete may not look like much, but even just half an inch is enough for the kids from down the street to catch their foot on and fall.

Concrete Leveling from IOK

So what can you do to prevent your trick-or-treaters and other visitors from getting injured on your concrete? Get that concrete leveled! Our concrete leveling services work well on many concrete surfaces, including driveways, sidewalks, patios, porches, and more. Here is how the service works:

1. Your concrete is assessed and a plan is created for concrete leveling.

2. Dime-sized holes are drilled into the surface of your concrete.

3. Polyurethane is injected through the small holes. It moves as a liquid initially, then expands. This expansion gently lifts your concrete back to grade, while under the careful watch of our team.

4. After the job is completed, the holes in the surface of the concrete are filled.
