What causes commercial sidewalk to settle?

Commercial sidewalks and walkways are susceptible to sinking and settling, much like other concrete slabs. Factors such as poor soil compaction, erosion, and the freeze/thaw cycle can all contribute to the deterioration of sidewalks.

Inadequate soil compaction during installation ranks among the leading causes of sinking walkways and sidewalks. Proper compaction is essential to prevent voids from forming beneath concrete slabs. When soil isn't compacted correctly during installation, it fails to provide adequate support for the concrete slab. Consequently, the slab sinks, settles, and develops cracks, posing tripping hazards.

Erosion further exacerbates the settling of commercial sidewalks and walkways. Inadequate drainage surrounding the slab leads to erosion, which can result from heavy rain or snowmelt. Insufficient drainage allows water to wash away the soil beneath the concrete slab, contributing to sinking and settling.

The freeze/thaw cycle also plays a significant role in concrete settlement. Fluctuating temperatures cause water in the soil to expand during freezing conditions, exerting pressure on the sidewalk or walkway slab. When temperatures rise, the melted water creates voids beneath the slab as the ground contracts. This uneven settling can lead to instability or even collapse of commercial sidewalks and walkways.
