Sidewalk Repair in Alabama

Settled sidewalk sections are among the most common trip hazard sources in Alabama neighborhoods. The same clay shrink-swell cycle that affects foundations and driveways settles sidewalk slabs, typically at the joints, where differential movement between adjacent sections creates a step that catches feet and wheels. APS Foundation lifts settled sidewalk sections with polyurethane foam injection, restoring a level surface without sidewalk replacement. The process is fast, most sidewalk repairs are completed in a few hours, and the area is walk-on ready within 30 minutes. APS works with homeowners who have received city notices or HOA complaints about sidewalk trip hazards. We provide documentation of the repair for compliance purposes.

City and HOA notices are the usual trigger. A section that has settled at the joint becomes a documented trip hazard, and the homeowner gets a deadline. Polyurethane foam injection resolves most notices in a single visit: the slab is lifted back to maximum practical level through ports smaller than a bottle cap, the joint lines back up, and the walkway is usable the same day.

Lifting beats replacement for most settled sidewalks because it keeps the existing concrete, matches the neighboring panels, and takes hours instead of days. Where a panel is shattered rather than settled, we say so and recommend replacement instead.

APS documents the finished lift so homeowners can close out a notice with their city or association, and the work carries the manufacturer warranty plus our in house performance warranty.
