An offset sidewalk joint is a trip hazard, and for the property owner it is a liability. A patio tilted toward the house directs every rainstorm at the foundation. Both problems have the same fix: lift the settled slab back to level, without demolition and without new concrete that will never match the old.

Sidewalk leveling and trip-hazard removal
Peoria’s mature-tree neighborhoods, including the Bluffs, North Valley and Peoria Heights, are full of sidewalk panels heaved by roots and dropped by washout. We raise the low panels flush at the joints, removing the trip edge. For homeowners, that protects family, guests and liability. For property managers, HOAs and businesses, it is ADA-relevant maintenance at a fraction of panel replacement cost.
- Offset joints raised flush
- Panels sunk toward the street or house releveled
- Walkway sections that pond water corrected
Patio and pool deck leveling
Patios settle toward the house because they sit on the foundation’s backfill trench. Once tilted, they drain toward the basement. We lift the slab to restore the original away-from-house pitch, close the gap at the house joint, and seal it. Pool decks are lifted with polyjacking foam: lightweight, waterproof, precisely controlled, and walkable within minutes.
Steps, stoops and porches
Front steps that pull away from the porch or tilt sideways are usually riding a washout void. Lifting realigns them against the structure and closes the gap that admits more water. If the settlement extends to the porch foundation itself, start with a free settlement inspection.
