Paving Stone Sinking/Water Pooling

4 years ago

Obviously with the weather currently, it's been very cold. The past few days it's been 40 degrees and very rainy. There is water pooling outside of my back door on the paving stone, and after taking a couple steps I stepped on a stone that sunk about an inch or two into the ground, while the adjacent stones are loose as well. This is not a new walkway so I figure everything should be settled at this point. There is also a drain pipe from my house going into the ground about 4-5 feet away. Would it make sense that a drywell is under my walkway and that's what is causing the problems? And why would it happen now after 10+ years.


I do not have the skills to replace this myself although if the job isn't complicated I am willing to try.
