Expert Sinkhole Repair Atlanta

Nothing is more unsettling than discovering that your house, fence, driveway, walkway, or sidewalk is susceptible to a trash pit or sinkhole. Sinkholes and trash pits can come in all sizes and can cause many different types of safety risks. For instance, small sinkholes that occur in backyards pose hazards for people to step in them and twist their ankle. Other sinkholes that occur near large trees or fences can cause severe tilt shifts and pose danger to the house or cars. Any type of surface depression in your yard should be addressed soon to prevent further damage in the future.

If you are in need of professional sinkhole repair in Atlanta, look no further than Sudlow Concrete. Our expert Atlanta sinkhole repair team has decades of combined experience in repairing sinkholes of all shapes and sizes.

What are Sinkholes and Trash Pits?

Sinkholes and trash pits are very common in Atlanta and occur in areas where previous construction projects bury debris such as trees, rotting stumps, trash, and other materials underground. What happens over time is these materials decay, causing a collapse of the underground bedrock to form a hole or depression in the ground's surface. Another reason for Atlanta sinkholes is due to old sewer pipes that are left underground by the city, which is information rarely disclosed to homeowners when purchasing property. Other activities such as drilling, mining, construction, and even heavy traffic can also weaken the surface of the earth and potentially form a sinkhole.

Sinkholes in Atlanta, GA more often occur from man-made causes, but they can also happen as a result of natural erosion or underground water sources that weaken bedrock and erode minerals in the soil, forming a depression in the earth's surface. Bedrock made of limestone, carbonate rock, and salt deposits are particularly at risk for forming sinkholes.

Sinkhole Warning Signs

Sinkholes can be dangerous mainly because they are so unpredictable. Because they form so slowly through natural geophysical shifts, it can be difficult to determine if enough change occurs to be able to identify it. If you suspect your yard or land may have an emerging sinkhole, there are certain warning signs you can look for to properly diagnose it. The presence of one or more of these sinkhole warning signs could indicate that a sinkhole or trash pit is emerging. Watch for these warning signs and call a professional sinkhole repair company to help you diagnose if a sinkhole is actually present:

Slopes or dips that appear in yards

Dead patches of plants or grass

Buckling of concrete slabs, driveways, or walkways

Cracks in stairs, bricks, or blocks

Tilt shifts in retaining walls

Cracks around doors or window frames

Drained ponds

Wells filled with debris

How to Repair Sinkholes

The most important step of properly repairing Atlanta sinkholes is identifying the root cause. Many homeowners will simply pour dirt or other materials in the sinkhole to fill it up temporarily. This method is improper, dangerous, and will actually speed up the decaying process - it will not fix the issue. If dirt is simply added to the sinking area, it will only add more weight to the weakened surface and actually cause it to sink even faster, especially when it gets wet.

The only way to properly repair a sinkhole is to find its root source, which requires extensive excavation and fully cleaning out the trash pit. The sinkhole will not go away until the underground debris is fully cleaned out and removed. Because the debris can be deep underground, excavation allows for full visibility to the size and depth of the trash or other debris causing the sinkhole's surface depression. A professional sinkhole repair company is strongly recommended, because you can never tell if the sinkhole is large or small until comprehensive excavation is complete.

Sudlow Concrete did a great job in replacing my 40+ year old driveway and poring a sidewalk along the left side of my house. It was easy to request a quote through their website and schedule an estimate. I received my estimate by the end of the day, and it was very competitive with 3 other quotes that I obtained. The work was scheduled within a week and the crew showed up at the time scheduled. A supervisor walked through the plans for the work to be done and gave me his card to contact him if I had any questions or concerns. The crew started work at 7AM and were completed by 1:30PM. I was very impressed with how their entire crew were so organized and coordinated. Everyone knew their job and the proper time to do their part. Demolition, framing, gravel, concrete, were all very efficiently timed. The work site was cleaned after the job, and they also came back and pressure washed the street in front of my house. I have received several complements from my neighbors and have noticed some taking pictures of the Sudlow sign that was left in my yard.

Our experience with Sudlow was spectacular. “Efficient” doesn’t seem a strong enough word! On the day our driveway was to be installed, the crews arrived just before 7am (as promised) and they were done — completely done…I mean, old drive was demo’d and the new drive was poured EXACTLY to our specs — before 1:30pm. And to boot, Mr. Sudlow himself called from his personal cellphone before work started and at the end to offer his assistance (if needed) and check in once work was completed. I thought this kind of customer service was dead! Clearly, it isn’t! AND their office staff is superior! A++ HIGHLY recommend!

For several years, the driveway of our 60-year old house has been cracked and rough. Recently, when we were out of town, our carport cracked and sank about a foot making it difficult, if not impossible, for us to enter the house. I did some research and found Sudlow Concrete who had good reviews. I called and made an appointment with Mr. Sudlow who came out and made measurements and talked about our requirements. He went back and sent me a quote. I accepted the quote and made arrangements to begin work on the following Monday morning. I woke up at 6:45 am that Monday morning and the crew was already beginning to work on breaking up the old concrete on our driveway, carport, turn-around, and front porch using a Bobcat with a jack hammer attachment. Then, they switched to a bucket attachment and scooped up the broken pieces and dumped them into a dumpster to be recycled. After this, they graded the areas needing it, constructed the forms, and started spreading a load of gravel which had been delivered. At this time, the team leader advised us that they were leaving for the day and another load of gravel would be delivered in an hour or so and that they would come back the second day to spread it. On the second day, by the time I woke up at 6:45 am, they had already spread the gravel, laid the rebar and the first concrete truck was already getting in position to deliver the first load of concrete. Once delivered, the team began working the concrete. Over the course of the next hour or so, three more trucks delivered more concrete and all areas were filled in and the workers began smoothing it. By noon, it was all done. They even created a little ramp at the back door in the carport so that we can easily step into the house and even roll a wheelchair into the door, if necessary. We are extremely happy with the work done and compliment Mr Sudlow and the team for their professionalism and courtesy. It was evident they had done quality jobs like this multiple times. Once the job was done, all tools and trash were collected and removed leaving our yard as clean as it was when they arrived the first day. They even placed a barrier so that no one would drive on the driveway until it was dry and cured. We were advised not to walk on the fresh concrete for 24 hours and not to drive on it for 5 days. We can’t wait to try it out. Update: We've walked over the driveway and are impressed by the workmanship and love the new carport, driveway and porch.

On the day of the job, the crew was not just on time for the job, but they arrived early. Again, I was impressed. From removing the old driveway to laying the new concrete, they did a great job. My new driveway is the talk of my neighborhood! A+++

If you’re in the market for driveway paving, look no further—this is the tradesman you want. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. Communication was prompt and professional, with every call and message returned quickly. The pricing was fair and transparent, and the value far exceeded expectations. What truly sets Sudlow apart is that they stand behind their work. The craftsmanship is excellent, and it’s clear they take pride in delivering results that last. Any questions or follow-ups were handled immediately, with genuine care and accountability. Reliable, responsive, honest, and highly skilled—this is a worthy choice for anyone considering paving services. I would recommend them without hesitation and would absolutely use his services again.

Outstanding work on a complex driveway and patio project We recently had Sudlow Concrete replace our entire driveway and rear walkway (~5,851 sq ft), add a stamped apron and decorative bands, replace our front porch step, reroute five downspouts under the driveway with PVC piping, and install a stamped patio under our deck (~600 sq ft) to match the driveway. This was a big, detailed job, and Sudlow handled every part of it exceptionally well. We got bids from three highly rated, established concrete contractors for the exact same scope of work. Two came in substantially higher for identical specs. Sudlow's price was significantly lower, with no compromise on quality — if anything, the opposite. The crew showed up at 6am on a Monday to get started, and the owner, Will (Bill) Sudlow, personally called the next evening just to check in and make sure everything was going according to plan. That kind of hands-on attention from the owner himself says a lot about how seriously they take their work. Given the scope and the weather, the full pour, stamping, and sealing process took 10 days — which felt entirely reasonable for a job this size. We ran into two minor issues along the way (a buried Xfinity cable line and an underground dog fence wire we hadn't marked), but neither was Sudlow's fault, and both were resolved quickly and professionally. The cleanup was thorough, the stamped concrete on both the driveway bands/apron and the patio came out beautifully and consistently matched, and the overall quality exceeded our expectations. We took before-and-after photos and couldn't be happier with the results. We've already recommended Sudlow to three neighbors with upcoming concrete projects, and we'd recommend them to anyone looking for quality work at a fair, honest price.
