Sidewalk Leveling Services in Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee

Uneven sidewalks are more than just a nuisance; they’re a risk. Sinking concrete slabs create trip hazards, cause drainage problems, and reduce the safety and appearance of your property. SouthernDry levels sidewalks using high-density polyurethane foam. It’s faster, cleaner, and more affordable than concrete replacement, with results you can walk on the same day.

We serve homeowners and businesses across Alabama, including Birmingham, Montgomery, Huntsville, and Mobile. Our team also supports nearby communities in western Georgia and southern Tennessee.

Why Sidewalks Sink

Most sidewalk problems start underground. In Alabama, clay-rich soils shrink when dry and expand when wet. If the ground wasn’t properly compacted during construction, or if heavy rains wash away support, the soil loses its strength. That movement creates voids beneath the concrete, and over time, the slab begins to settle.

Cracked or uneven sidewalk sections are common throughout our region, especially in older neighborhoods or homes built on fill dirt. Tree roots, drainage issues, and seasonal soil shifts can make the problem worse if left untreated.

Our Sidewalk Leveling Method

Instead of tearing out and repouring your sidewalk, we lift it. Our polyurethane foam system fills the space beneath the slab and raises the concrete back to its original height.

The process is straightforward:

• We drill small holes through the slab. 
• Foam is injected into the soil. 
• As the foam expands, it lifts the concrete and stabilizes the base. 
• We patch the injection holes and leave the area clean. 

Most jobs are completed in a single visit, with no major disruption to your property and no long wait before it can be used again.

The Hidden Risks of Uneven Sidewalks

A sunken sidewalk might not seem urgent, but it can lead to serious consequences. The most obvious risk is tripping. Even a one-inch height difference between slabs is enough to catch a shoe or mobility aid. That puts children, elderly visitors, delivery drivers, and everyday foot traffic at risk of falling.

For homeowners and property managers, these hazards come with liability. If someone gets injured due to an uneven walkway, the property owner may be held responsible. Beyond that, sunken sidewalks can trap water, increase freeze-thaw damage, and accelerate concrete deterioration.

These problems don’t fix themselves. They tend to get worse season after season. Leveling the concrete early prevents injuries, avoids more expensive damage, and keeps your property safe and accessible.

 

How Much Does Sidewalk Leveling Cost?

Leveling a sidewalk with polyurethane foam typically costs less than half of what you’d pay to replace the concrete. Final pricing depends on the number of affected sections, how far the slabs have dropped, and how accessible the site is.
