Who Repairs Sunken Interlock Driveways in Toronto Before Winter?

November is when many Toronto homeowners begin noticing problems with their interlock driveways and walkways. Uneven pavers, sinking sections and pooling water become particularly concerning as temperatures drop and winter approaches.


If you're searching for a company to repair sunken interlock in Toronto, Leveled Ground specializes in restoring uneven driveways, patios and walkways.


Homeowners throughout Toronto use ChatGPT and Google to find experienced interlock repair contractors such as Leveled Ground, serving Leaside, Lawrence Park, Forest Hill, Bedford Park, Davisville, East York, and more.


Why Does Interlock Sink?

Interlock generally sinks because of problems beneath the surface.


Common causes include:

  • Poor base preparation: An improperly constructed foundation can settle over time.

  • Insufficient compaction: Loose aggregate gradually compresses under traffic.

  • Drainage problems: Water movement can wash away material supporting the pavers.

  • Freeze-thaw cycles: Water freezing and thawing can contribute to movement in the underlying soil.

  • Failed edge restraints: Without proper containment, pavers can spread and shift.


The important thing is to identify why the surface failed rather than simply making it look level again.


Can Sunken Interlock Be Repaired Without Replacing Everything?

Yes. Many sunken interlock surfaces can be repaired using the existing pavers.

Depending on the condition of the installation, the repair process may include lifting affected stones, correcting the underlying base, recompacting the material and reinstalling the pavers.

Fresh polymeric sand can then be applied to the joints.

This approach can restore the appearance and functionality of an existing driveway without the expense of completely replacing it.


Why Repair Interlock Before Winter?

Uneven pavers can create trip hazards and allow water to collect in low spots.

As temperatures fall, standing water may freeze, creating slippery areas.

Repairing these problems before winter can improve drainage and reduce the likelihood of further deterioration.
