If your sidewalk has been looking a little bit uneven lately, or maybe some parts are raised or others sunken, then it’s time for you to consider repair—as the situation will only get worse from there. Before you seek our NYC sidewalk repair services, you should understand the different types of sidewalk problems and their causative factors.

Sidewalk Cracks

Cracks are common in sidewalks, and they come in varied shapes and sizes, which may be hazards to either life, beauty, or even both. Whichever the case, they should be immediately fixed since they tend to deteriorate to the point where the entire sidewalk has to be replaced. At Hitech Construction NY, we know that cracks can be a sore sight, and that’s why their repair is an integral part of our NYC sidewalk repair services.

Uneven Sidewalks

An uneven sidewalk is a common issue caused by various factors, with water being the most significant. When water seeps under concrete slabs, it can freeze or melt, leading to the sinking or rising of the structure. At Hitech Construction NY, our experts will recommend a viable solution to keep your sidewalk even for a long time.

Repairing a Cracked Sidewalk

At Hitech Construction NY, we use advanced techniques to fix cracked sidewalks, ensuring the best results and your satisfaction. Our primary methods are sealing and leveling:

Sealing: This efficient technique prevents water from penetrating the concrete slab, saving you from future replacement costs. Our step-by-step process offers numerous benefits, including improved appearance, safety, and lifespan of your sidewalk. First, we thoroughly pressure wash the surface to eliminate contaminants that could compromise the sealant’s effectiveness. Next, we apply a specially selected, long-lasting sealant that keeps water from seeping beneath the sidewalk. By the end of the process, we significantly reduce the risk of issues, such as freezing.

Leveling: We use this method when a crack causes a specific part of your sidewalk to become uneven. In these cases, we pump the non-level section to match the rest of the sidewalk. The result is a safer and more aesthetically pleasing walkway.

Repairing Uneven Sidewalks

As mentioned earlier, uneven sidewalks arise from either one out of two reasons; a part is either raised or sunken. However, the most common scenario is when the portions of the sidewalk appear raised. In such situations, we highly recommend that you get the sidewalk repaired to prevent a costly replacement. It may be roots or other objects that are pushing against the sidewalk, causing it to rise. Whatever the case, our expert professionals are always on standby to tend to your structure.

In other instances, some parts of the sidewalk may be rising, and subsequent parts are sinking. Our experience in the field has equipped us with the technical skills to know the strategic place to drill and fill your sidewalk to make it level—saving you time and money in the future by avoiding a replacement.
