When Does Concrete in Locust Point Need Replacing?
Concrete needs replacing when cracks keep returning, slabs have sunk or the surface is flaking away in layers. Homes at the end of the Throggs Neck peninsula deal with salt air and damp ground. That combination ages concrete faster than patching can keep up with.
Locust Point is made up of detached houses on a few short streets, with the Throgs Neck Bridge approach close by. Most of the concrete here is around the house: front walks, side paths, patios and slabs. Each one has to stand up to a shoreline setting.
- Slabs that have dropped or tilted
- Cracks wide enough to catch a heel
- Surface flaking from salt and moisture
- Pads that slope toward the house
- Patches that have failed and come loose
- Concrete heaved by wet, shifting soil
Concrete near the shore may have been poured decades ago with little thought to salt. Surface scaling that exposes the stone inside is a sign the top layer is finished.
Patching works for small defects. When the base under the slab has washed out, a patch sits on weak ground and fails again. Removing the concrete and rebuilding the base is the lasting fix.
Wondering If Your Slab Can Be Saved?
We will look at it in person and tell you plainly whether it needs replacing.
How We Fix It
What Happens During a Concrete Replacement?
We mark the area, saw the edges and break out the old concrete. The crew hauls it away, grades the ground and compacts a stone base. Forms go in, new concrete is poured and finished, and the slab cures before use.
Whatever sits under a slab decides how long it lasts. On damp lots we pay attention to how water moves, so the new slab does not sit in a puddle after each rain.
Slopes are set to carry water away from your foundation. A walk that pitches toward the house is one of the common faults we correct when we replace old slabs.
We can also pour a new pad for trash bins, a generator or a shed. These small slabs need the same base work as a big one.
Because the lots here are not large, access can be tight. We plan the route for the machines and the concrete truck before the day starts.
Does Concrete Replacement at My House Need a Permit?
Concrete work entirely on your private property does not need the DOT sidewalk permit. Retaining walls, structural work and curb cuts can still need Department of Buildings permits. Any part that touches the public sidewalk generally needs a DOT permit. Confirm current rules with the city.
If your walk meets the public sidewalk, the two are connected. The sidewalk next to your property is the owner's to maintain, per Admin Code 19-152. We can replace the walk and the sidewalk flags in one visit and file the DOT permit for the public part.
Owner occupied one to three family homes are an exception to sidewalk injury liability only, not to the repair duty. If you have a notice, see our sidewalk violations page for the steps to take.
Waterfront lots can face extra review for some structural work. Tell us what you plan to build, and we will say whether a permit may apply before you commit.
