Rains Can Damage Your Sidewalk | Ft. Worth Sidewalk Fix
As Ft. Worth and Dallas prepare to face another year of torrential rains, your sidewalk may be in danger, or rather the soil under your sidewalk could be washed away. While water won’t damage the hard rock that constitutes your sidewalk, eroding topsoil can instead cause the sidewalk to break apart and crack.
So whether you’re located in Westworth Village, Grand Prairie, Edgecliff, Sansom Park, Fairmount, Irving, Benbrook, River Oaks, Ridglea Hills, Melody Hills, Forest Hill, Westover Hills, Haltom City, Richland Hills, or Arlington, we’re here to help.
NorTex realizes that when it comes to fixing sidewalks for North Texans, that there’s no one-size-fits all approach. So we take multiple factors into consideration when we take on the job to repair a sidewalk. One of our most tried and true solutions comes when we target sinkholes and gaps deep beneath a sidewalk or drive.
The Dangers of Soil Densification | Dallas Concrete Repair
It may seem bizarre, but sidewalk defects could be caused by soil problems as far as 8 feet below the surface of the ground. While most soil densification issues arise closer to 2 feet from the surface, NorTex still does a thorough examination at all levels to make sure the ground is supporting you and your sidewalk effectively.
This is the main reason why a crew that replaces your sidewalk won’t have long term success. If the crew can’t resolve issues feet below the surface, and instead tries to put new concrete over the faulty soil, the cracks will come back. Don’t start over when you can fix the problem now!
How to fix Soil Densification | Sidewalk Repair Methods
To determine what’s causing your sidewalk to have damage, we’ll begin with a series of tools to measure the ground beneath the concrete.
PENETROMETER
The fancy word for our soil densification measuring tool is the penetrometer.
The penetrometer will give NorTex technicians a three dimensional look at the ground beneath your sidewalk, allowing them to identify problem areas, and to know where and how to fill those areas with polyurethane foam.
There’s no guesswork when we get to work. NorTex relies on specifics and reliability, to get the job done right the first time for Texans all over the metroplex.
POLYURETHANE FOAM INJECTION
NorTex can inject foam as deep as those eight feet problem areas can arise. In doing so, the foam expands and hardens to support the ground above it, and to effectively fill the erosion deep into the ground. When we fix the ground that your sidewalk sits on, we’re able to fix your sidewalk with a few simple solutions applications.
Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater when it comes to repairing your Dallas/FtW sidewalk. Your concrete is good quality, so don’t throw it out when it’s not what’s causing the problem.
