Are Driveways Common in Fordham Manor?
Not very. Most of the area is pre war apartment buildings and walk ups that sit close to the sidewalk, so few lots have a driveway. Some older houses on side streets do, and a few buildings have a garage ramp or a service entrance. Those are the jobs we handle here.
We would rather say this plainly than promise work that rarely comes up. If you have a driveway, a garage entry or a loading area, the repair process is the same as anywhere in the Bronx. The slab, the apron at the curb and the drainage all need to work together.
Properties with a narrow side drive often face the same problem. The concrete was poured decades ago, then cut, patched and patched again. Cracks run across it and the apron at the street edge has broken off.
What Goes Wrong With a Driveway Near Fordham Road?
Weight, water and salt do the damage. Delivery trucks, parked cars and snow removal put heavy loads on slabs that were poured thin. Winter salt eats the surface, and water in the cracks freezes and splits the slab apart.
| Problem | What causes it | Repair |
|---|---|---|
| Crack running across the drive | Settling or an old thin slab | Seal if tight, replace the panel if it has moved |
| Broken apron at the curb | Vehicle weight on the lip | Cut out and pour a new apron |
| Surface flaking and pitting | Salt and freeze thaw | Resurface or replace the worn area |
| Water pooling near a garage door | Slab settled or pitched the wrong way | Replace with a correct slope |
| Steep ramp with loose edges | Wear and traffic | Rebuild the edges and finish with a grip texture |
Several blocks slope toward Jerome Avenue. A driveway on a slope sheds water fast, but that same water can undercut the edges. We check the base as well as the surface.
Curb Cuts and Aprons
What About the Curb Cut and Apron?
The apron is where your drive meets the street. It takes the hardest hits, and it connects to the public sidewalk. Work there generally needs a DOT permit, and we file it. Changing or adding a curb cut can also involve the Department of Buildings.
If the sidewalk across your driveway has cracked, we can repair the sidewalk and the apron in one visit. A sidewalk violation can follow broken flags, so it helps to fix both together. See our sidewalk violations page for how the process works.
