Concrete Replacement in Baychester, Bronx

Which Concrete Problems Do Baychester Properties Have?

Baychester lots most often need new side yard slabs, rear patios and entry walks. Detached and semi detached houses here have yards that were poured decades ago, and those slabs have settled, cracked or started to tilt toward the house. Water then collects where it should drain away.

The neighborhood sits west of the Hutchinson River Parkway, with houses, apartment buildings and garden style complexes sharing the area. The residential blocks are inland and do not face particular flood exposure beyond heavy rain sewer backups, so most slab trouble comes from age, thin pours and poor slope.

• Rear patios with deep cracks
• Side paths that tilt toward a wall
• Sunken slabs that hold water
• Crumbling edges and surface flaking
• Lifted panels over tree roots
• Entry walks with trip edges

Winter is hard on all of it. Water seeps into hairline cracks, freezes and pushes the pieces apart, and road salt tracked in from the street roughens the surface. By the second or third season the cracks are wide enough to catch a shoe or a wheel.

Around garden style complexes, shared walks and service paths take constant use. Their slabs wear through at the edges, and patching them every spring only delays the replacement.
