- Grade and compact gravel sub-base.
- Install and grade new bedding layer.
- Lay interlock in existing layout/pattern.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the interlock repair process go?
The interlock repair process starts with an initial consultation and pricing. Once everything is a go we come out to repair the interlock. This process includes lifting and cleaning existing interlock, compacting the existing base, screeding a new setting bed at correct height, then finally re-installing the interlock with new polymeric joint sand and new edge restraint if required.
How long will the repaired interlock last?
Repaired interlock can last as long as or longer than the original installation. A lot depends on the depth and quality of the base.
What is the cost difference between repairing and new installation?
Usually repairing interlock is much more affordable than installing new. However, in some cases depending on the site and size of the project it will make sense to go with a new installation.
Can one specific area be repaired, or will the whole patio need to be redone?
Depending on the extent of the sinking or unevenness, one area can be re-done. However, if it is severe, the whole area needs to be redone.
Is it possible to do a new base and reuse my existing interlock?
Yes, it is possible to do a new base and use existing interlock. Usually it is better to do new interlock because of the extra labour it takes to lift and set aside existing interlock as opposed to taking it out with a machine.
Is there a warranty for interlock repairs and relaying?
There is no warranty on sinking over time as we did not install the base and it is a repair.
