First of all, are you planning to extend your driveway or just some repairs? Before hiring a sidewalk repair contractor you can always detect some issues yourself and make a decision. Here are some signs which indicate you need a sidewalk repair contractor in NYC.
- Broken edges: The very first and common sign of a sidewalk repair is the broken edges of the sidewalk. The edges crumble away due to excessive pressure and loads of the vehicles especially in the area with high traffic. This leads to trip hazards for pedestrians and sometimes cause blockage for underground drainages. So, it needs to be replaced immediately.
- Cracks: Sidewalks often develop some cracks on the surface due to the exposure of the weather and climate change over the time. It’s quite common, if you see small cracks but if you notice some visible cracks then it’s a sign to immediately get them repaired. These cracks lead to danger as they grow into the sidewalk surface and rotten the area beneath.
- Moisture: There are chances of moisture accumulation under the sidewalk surface area due to bad or poor water drainage. If you see water on the sidewalk surface area that is nothing to worry about but if you notice some wet or damp sidewalk surface or water collected on the edges which leads to excessive moisture and crumble the surface, then it’s a sign to get it fixed as soon as possible as it shows that the water is already affecting the surface beneath.
- Fading color: Fading color of the sidewalk is also a sign to replace the sidewalk with a new layer to protect it. Over a period of time sidewalk surface color fades away because of weather changes such as sunlight or snow. If the sidewalk surface color fades the inner layer becomes weak and leads to damage such as cracks.
- Raised or depressed sidewalk: Sometimes, the sidewalk surface may have these issues depending on the layout of it. If a sidewalk area is raised or depressed it can lead to trip hazards to pedestrians and parking problems. This is also a sign that the sidewalk needs to be replaced or repaired immediately.
