Erosion / washout

Common Defects & Damage Types
Erosion / washout Erosion, or washout, is the removal of soil or base material by flowing water. Loss of support beneath pavement can lead to settlement and cracking.

Water from poor drainage, leaking utilities, or heavy rainfall can gradually carry away supporting soil beneath sidewalks and driveways. As the underlying material erodes, concrete may crack, settle, or become unstable. Addressing the water source is an important part of permanent repairs.
