Municipal & Public Sidewalk Leveling in Southern MS & Southeast LA
Uneven Public Sidewalks? We Lift and Level Them!
Sinking sidewalks, raised concrete edges, and uneven public walkways can create trip hazards for pedestrians. They can also make it harder for people using wheelchairs, walkers, and strollers to move safely through public spaces.
At Henning Concrete Lifting, we help municipalities, schools, parks, government facilities, and public property managers repair settled concrete without the cost and disruption of full sidewalk replacement.
Our polyurethane foam concrete lifting, also known as polyjacking, raises and stabilizes sinking sidewalk slabs using small injection holes. This process fills empty spaces beneath concrete, restores support, and helps reduce uneven transitions.
Based in Tylertown, MS, we’re a second-generation, locally owned company with over 30 years of construction experience. We serve communities throughout Southern Mississippi and Southeast Louisiana, including Hattiesburg, Brookhaven, McComb, Columbia, Covington, and Mandeville.
Our qualifying concrete lifting work comes with a 3-year warranty, and most repaired sidewalks can reopen the same day.
Common Concrete Problems on Municipal & Public Sidewalks
Public sidewalks face daily foot traffic, heavy rainfall, soil movement, and changing ground conditions. Over time, erosion, poor soil compaction, and tree roots can cause concrete panels to shift or settle.
Even small changes in sidewalk height can create accessibility problems and increase the risk of trips and falls.
Common problems include:
- Uneven Sidewalk Panels: Height differences between concrete sections create pedestrian trip hazards.
- Sinking Public Walkways: Settled slabs make walking routes difficult to navigate.
- Raised Concrete Edges: Tree roots or uneven settlement can create abrupt changes in elevation.
- Water Pooling: Low sidewalk areas collect rainwater and may contribute to slippery surfaces.
- Uneven Curb Ramp Approaches: Settled concrete creates difficult transitions near street crossings.
- Cracked Sidewalk Slabs: Soil movement can cause concrete to crack or separate.
- Voids Beneath Sidewalks: Soil erosion leaves empty spaces that reduce support beneath concrete.
Replacing public sidewalks can require demolition, pedestrian detours, and extended closures. Our poly foam sidewalk leveling provides a less disruptive option when the existing concrete is suitable for lifting.
