Interlocking Paver Repair in Victoria BC

Interlocking Paver Repair is needed to address issues like displacement, uneven surfaces and joint sand loss in interlocking paver patios, driveways and walkways. Over time, caused by weather, traffic, tree growth and poor installation practices, professional interlocking paver repair can become essential.

When installing a new perimeter drain around a house with existing interlocking pavers, it involves a specific process. Temporary removal of the pavers is necessary to facilitate the installation of the drainage system. Once the new perimeter drain is in place, our skilled team can reinstall the paving stones.

Inadequate foundational preparation and neglect of proper techniques during installation contribute to these problems. Examples include insufficient base material depth, improper compaction and weak edge restraints. Pavers may shift without a strong foundation, leading to uneven surfaces and displacement. Additionally, insufficient joint sand application or erosion can result in gradual sand loss, compromising stability.

Weed Growth and Vegetation: Over time, weeds and vegetation may grow between the interlocking pavers, leading to an unsightly appearance and potential damage. The roots of plants can cause pavers to lift or shift, requiring repair.

Settling and Shifting: Natural settling of the ground with slopes, no retainment or improper retaining wall installation can impact the alignment of interlocking bricks. This can result in uneven surfaces, creating both aesthetic and safety concerns.

Water Damage: Poor drainage or water pooling around the paver area can lead to erosion of the base material, washout of joint sand, and overall degradation of the interlocking system. Repair may be necessary to address water-related issues and restore stability.

Tree Root Intrusion: The roots of nearby trees can exert pressure on interlocking pavers, causing them to lift or crack. Tree root intrusion is a common issue, especially in outdoor spaces with mature trees.

Wear and Tear: Heavy foot traffic, vehicle use, or the constant movement of heavy objects on interlocking pavers can lead to wear and tear over time. This can result in chipping, cracking or displacement of the pavers.

New Perimeter Drain: Installing a new perimeter drain around a house that already has pavers installed will require the pavers being taken up. After the new perimeter drain is installed we can reinstall the paving bricks to make it look like before or probably even better.
