settled sidewalk slab

[Account Closed]

Hello all,

My rental property has a sunken concrete slab on the sidewalk in front of the property.

Anu ideas on How to fix this in a cheap/effective way. It seems too deep for quikrete.

The property is in Harrisburg, PA.

Iv got quotes for replacing the whole slab.

No one wants to do mudjacking.

Another company does sidewalk leveling with polylevel foam, but they dont want to come out for one slab.

Grab a $4 bottle of Concrete glue from the hardware store, squirt half it in the water you’re using to mix with the dry cement. Wet the existing concrete thoroughly, brush on the other half of the glue to the wet concrete. Make sure your mixed well (but not too wet), throw your concrete down to make a slight / reasonable ramp that isn’t a trip hazard. Come back in a couple hours when it’s 99% dry with any type of cheap broom you’ve got, broom it very gently (about half as much as you think you should). If you have an angle grinder grab a $5 diamond cutting disk and use that to cut the lip off if you don’t want to spend $40 renting a concrete cutter for a 3 minute job. Concrete needs to be wet to bond more concrete to it, putting wet concrete on top of dry will last a year before it breaks free. Presto, rejoice.
