Blocked Drains York

As a homeowner in York, you take pride in your property's exterior, especially your block paved driveway. However, over the years, you may have noticed that your block paving has started to sink, creating uneven surfaces and potentially leading to more severe issues. At Blocked Drains York, we've seen this problem time and time again, and we're here to share our expertise on how to stop block paving from sinking.

Before we dive into the solutions, it's essential to understand why block paving sinks. The main culprit is often the sand or sand-cement mixture used to lay the pavers. Over time, this material can settle or wash away, causing the blocks to shift and sink. Additionally, poor drainage, heavy foot or vehicle traffic, and tree root growth can also contribute to the problem.

To prevent block paving from sinking, it's crucial to ensure that the area is properly prepared before laying the pavers. This includes:

• Laying a solid foundation of compacted sand or sand-cement mixture
• Ensuring proper drainage to prevent water accumulation
• Using high-quality pavers that can withstand the elements and heavy use

If your block paving has already started to sink, there are several steps you can take to repair it:

• Re-sand the joints: Replenish the sand or sand-cement mixture between the pavers to provide additional support and stability.
• Re-level the pavers: Carefully lift and re-level the sunken pavers to ensure they're even with the surrounding blocks.
• Replace damaged pavers: If some pavers are damaged or broken, replace them with new ones to prevent further damage.
