3 Reasons You Should Repair Sinking Concrete

When it comes to sinking, settling concrete, it’s easy to ask “Why?” Why does it matter, why should I care, why, why why? Here are three reasons you should care and have your settling concrete fixed.

1) Safety

Sure, you might be used to hopping over the raised lip of the sidewalk, or taking an extra high step up onto the porch, but is your grandmother? What about your toddler? Or all of those trick or treaters that are right around the corner?

Sinking concrete slabs, especially on sidewalks or pathways, can create nasty trip hazards and endanger your family and visitors.

2) Cost

When there are problems with your home, you’re going to end up paying for them one way or another. First and easiest, you pay to have the problem fixed. Second, you pay for repairs - bike tires that pop after hitting a sidewalk edge, car tires that finally give up after months of having to get over the hump to get into the garage. Finally, you pay when you sell the house, either through a concession or just having to accept a lower offer.

3) Curb Appeal

A sinking, uneven sidewalk is the first step to the neighborhood children thinking you’re a witch. The gaps left from sinking slabs allow grass and weeds to grow, so soon your once manicured lawn is marred by a path of overgrown dandelions, and then you give up on your house entirely and soon you’re spending your days stirring a cauldron and…

Ok, maybe not. But a jagged sidewalk is unsightly, and not only could it affect your property value, but it’s just another thing to sit in the back of your mind and bother you. You deserve a nice home, and the sidewalks, driveway, and steps are a part of that.
