Sidewalk Repairs

If you’ve noticed your sidewalk is cracking, then there’s a good chance you’ve become aware of the downfalls of uneven slab. In addition to providing an uneven surface that facilitates falls and slips, sidewalk damage lowers the curb appeal of your home. Under California Streets and Highway Code, property owners are responsible for the state of their sidewalks. That means damaged sidewalks are a lawsuit waiting to happen for property owners, so repairing the concrete before it can worsen is the soundest solution for keeping all residents and pedestrians safe.
