Local Conditions
Why Does Concrete Fail on Belmont Lots?
Age, water and tight spaces. Belmont is a neighborhood of pre war walk ups, tenements and two and three family houses, and the concrete around them was poured long ago. Small yards, areaways and shared paths hold water, and the slabs have cracked and shifted.
Many Belmont lots are narrow and fully built out. The slab at the side or rear of a building may be the only open ground, and it was often poured without a proper slope. Rain sits on it, runs toward the foundation or finds the nearest crack.
Winter is hard on all of it. Meltwater gets into cracks, freezes at night and lifts the surface a little more each cycle. Salt used on shop entrances and stoops splashes onto nearby slabs and flakes the top layer away.
The housing stock here is older, which means older drainage and older pours. We often find slabs that were laid over soft fill or old debris and have been sinking ever since.
Close to Arthur Avenue and East 187th Street, rear service areas behind shops and restaurants take deliveries and trash handling. Those slabs carry hand trucks, bins and spilled grease, all of which wear concrete down.
How Is Old Concrete Replaced in Tight Belmont Yards?
We saw the old slab into sections, break it out by hand or with small machines and haul it away. Then we level and compact the base, set forms and pour. In tight yards, small equipment and hand work take the place of large machines, and we plan the debris route first.
Slope and drainage
Every new slab is set to shed water. In a small yard, that may mean pitching the concrete toward a drain or toward the street, and away from walls and basement windows.
Areaways
An areaway slab sits next to the basement window or door. If it settles toward the building, water pours in. We replace it with the right pitch and seal the joint at the wall.
Permits and neighbors
A pour that stays inside your lot skips the DOT sidewalk permit. Where the new slab meets the public walk, a DOT permit generally applies, and we file it. Retaining walls and structural work can bring DOB requirements. Check current rules with the city. We find no historic district in Belmont.
