Uneven Concrete Around Your School Creating Trip Hazards?

School sidewalks, entrances, courtyards, parking areas, and walkways handle a lot of daily traffic. Students, teachers, staff, parents, vendors, and visitors all need safe access in and around the property.

When concrete starts to sink, crack, or become uneven, it can create trip hazards, drainage problems, and liability concerns. The Concrete Team provides school concrete lifting, mudjacking, slabjacking, slab leveling, void filling, and concrete repair services throughout Upstate New York.

We help schools, districts, churches with school facilities, private schools, and campus properties repair unsafe concrete without the cost and disruption of full replacement whenever possible.

Why School Concrete Sinks

Concrete around schools can settle for many reasons. Many school properties have older sidewalks, heavy foot traffic, freeze-thaw damage, drainage problems, and years of soil movement under the slabs.

Common reasons school concrete sinks include:

  • Soil settling under sidewalks and entryways
  • Water washing away soil beneath the concrete
  • Freeze-thaw cycles during Upstate New York winters
  • Heavy use from students, staff, and maintenance equipment
  • Poor drainage near walkways or parking areas
  • Voids forming under concrete slabs
  • Older concrete shifting over time
  • Utility work or backfilled areas settling after construction

Once the base under the concrete weakens, the slab can drop, tilt, crack, or pull away from nearby concrete.

If your school has uneven sidewalks or entrance walkways, our walkway and sidewalk leveling service may be a good place to start. For larger paved concrete areas, you may also want to review our parking lot concrete repair page.

    I cannot recommend Jim Denney and The Concrete Team highly enough! I’ve known Jim for many years, and as a Realtor, I’ve confidently referred him to my clients and I know he will exceeded expectations. Jim’s knowledge, experience, and workmanship are truly second to none. The quality of his work is exceptional, but what really sets him apart is the way he treats people. Home repairs, especially foundation or concrete issues can be overwhelming and emotional for homeowners. Jim has a remarkable ability to communicate clearly, explain complex issues in a way that’s easy to understand, and put people at ease. He never pressures anyone and always takes the time to help homeowners feel informed and confident about their decisions. Jim and his partner, Mike, are also two of the most honest, ethical people you’ll ever meet. Their integrity is unwavering, and they genuinely care about doing what’s right for their clients, not just getting the job done. In an industry where trust means everything, The Concrete Team stands in a class of its own. I give them my absolute highest recommendation and will continue referring them with complete confidence. They are simply the best.

    Three years ago, I contacted The Concrete Team about some settling issues with my stamped concrete pool patio that had created a trip hazard in several high-traffic areas. They came out, evaluated the problem, and provided an estimate, but I never moved forward with the work at that time. After this past winter, the settling became noticeably worse. With a graduation party approaching, I wanted to get the issue fixed before guests arrived and risked tripping or falling. I called The Concrete Team expecting the price to have increased after three years, but to my surprise, they honored the original estimate and were able to fit me into their schedule on short notice. Their crew did an outstanding job. They were professional, efficient, and restored the patio for a fraction of the cost of replacing it. The finished product looks great, and most importantly, the trip hazards are gone. As a real estate agent, I’m always looking for trustworthy contractors to recommend to my clients, and The Concrete Team has absolutely earned my recommendation. If you have settled or uneven concrete, don’t wait—give them a call. You’ll be glad you did.

    I had a fantastic experience with the concrete team! They did an amazing job mud jacking my front walkway. The pricing was very reasonable, they showed up on time, and the work was completed quickly and efficiently. The whole process was smooth from start to finish, and the results came out great. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality work at a fair price!"

    Jim and Mike did an absolutely outstanding job on our front sidewalk and the garage floor entrance. They had to drill holes in our front sidewalk and then pressure install concrete underneath to raise them back up to the correct level. Not an easy task. But this was done exceptionally well. Then they applied an epoxy surfacer to even out all the salt erosion that had been happening. After this a sand surfacing was applied to the epoxy [white] to give the sidewalk the proper appearance - now tan. A truly exceptional job. Pete and Susie, Cohoes, NY

    Signs Your School May Need Concrete Leveling

    Uneven concrete on school property should not be ignored. Small height differences can become safety concerns fast, especially in high-traffic areas.

    Your school may need concrete lifting if you notice:

    • Raised or sunken sidewalk panels
    • Trip hazards near entrances or exits
    • Uneven concrete near bus drop-off areas
    • Water pooling on walkways or near doors
    • Gaps forming under concrete slabs
    • Cracks near settled concrete
    • Slabs sloping toward the building
    • Uneven concrete around playground access areas
    • Sinking concrete near courtyards or outdoor seating areas
    • Rough transitions between sidewalks and parking areas
    • Interior concrete floors that feel uneven or settled

    These issues can affect safety, drainage, accessibility, and the overall appearance of the school property.

    Our School Concrete Lifting Process

    The Concrete Team specializes in mudjacking, also called slabjacking. This allows us to review the concrete and recommend the method
    that makes the most sense for the school property, project size, access, schedule, and budget.

    Top Concrete Leveling Contractor Near Me

    Step 1: Evaluate the Concrete

    We inspect the uneven concrete, look for trip hazards, check drainage, review cracks, and identify areas where the slab has lost support. For schools, we also consider traffic flow, entrances, student access, and scheduling needs.

    Step 2: Lift and Stabilize the Slabs

    We raise the sunken concrete using mudjacking, also called slabjacking. This process uses a durable grout-like material to fill voids, support the slab, and lift settled concrete back toward the surrounding surface.

    Step 3: Patch, Clean Up, and Review the Area

    After the concrete is lifted, the drilled holes are patched and the work area is cleaned up. We can also review related needs, such as crack repair, joint sealing, or drainage concerns.

    You can learn more about how lifting works on our concrete leveling process page.

    Benefits of School Concrete Lifting

    Concrete lifting can help schools repair unsafe concrete without removing and replacing large sections of sidewalk, walkway, or slab.

    Benefits include:

    • Helps reduce trip hazards around the school
    • Improves safety for students, teachers, staff, and visitors
    • Helps with accessibility near entrances and walkways
    • Can cost less than tearing out and replacing concrete
    • Helps reduce water pooling and drainage problems
    • Fills voids under concrete to improve support
    • Can often be completed with less disruption than replacement
    • Helps keep school entrances, sidewalks, and common areas usable
    • May allow faster return to use, depending on the lifting method
    • Can be scheduled around school breaks, weekends, or lower-traffic times when needed

    For school properties with cracks, open joints, or surface damage, concrete lifting may also pair well with concrete crack repair or joint sealing / caulking.
