Sidewalk Repairs

What This Service Involves

We repair spalled, cracked, and displaced sidewalk panels using methods matched to the defect, from partial-depth patching to full panel replacement. Root heave from mature street trees and the freeze-thaw and saturation cycles common in Western Washington are frequent causes, so we address the underlying condition where the contract allows. Crews restore proper cross-slope and running grade to meet ADA and PROWAG expectations and protect the agency from trip-and-fall claims. Each repair location is documented with before-and-after records for your sidewalk-management program.

Benefits

Eliminates trip hazards that drive liability claims; restores ADA and PROWAG-compliant slopes and grades; addresses root and subgrade causes to reduce recurrence; matches repair method to each panel's condition for cost efficiency; delivers documented records for your pedestrian asset inventory

Our Process

1) Inspect and rate each panel to select the appropriate repair method; 2) Saw-cut, remove, and prepare the failed section and subgrade; 3) Form, pour, and finish concrete to specified slopes and grade; 4) Cure, restore adjacent surfaces, and log the completed repair

What Affects the Cost

Number and size of panels requiring repair; chosen method from patching to full replacement; root or subgrade remediation needs; traffic control and pedestrian detour requirements; prevailing wage and concrete material costs

Best Time of Year

Concrete sidewalk work is best scheduled from late spring through early fall when drier weather supports proper curing between Western Washington rain events.
