Local Conditions
Why Does Concrete Fail at Woodlawn Properties?
Concrete fails here from settling, roots and water moving across sloped ground. Woodlawn has detached, semi detached and attached houses, many on lots that tilt toward the street. Water runs across the yard, softens the base and lets slabs sink.
Good tree cover beside Van Cortlandt Park and Woodlawn Cemetery helps the streets, but roots reach under yards and lift paths and patios. A slab that tilts away from level collects water at its low edge.
On a hilly lot, the front walk often climbs several feet from the sidewalk to the door. These walks have landings and short flights, and each joint is a place where water can get in.
Side paths between semi detached houses are narrow and shaded. They stay damp, grow algae and heave in freezing weather, which makes them one of the most common replacement jobs.
How Is Old Concrete Removed and Replaced?
Our crew saw cuts the edges, breaks up the old slab and hauls it off. Next comes a rebuilt base, formwork and a new pour with a pitch that sheds water. Finishing and curing come last, and you learn when each area is safe to use.
The pitch is set with the lot in mind. On a slope, the slab must carry water away from the foundation and not toward it, so we plan the fall before the forms go in.
Replacing part of a slab
If only one section has failed, we cut at a joint and replace that part. The new slab meets the old one cleanly, and you do not pay to redo concrete that still works.
Finishes
Most outdoor slabs get a light broom finish for traction. A smoother finish suits some patios, but it can be slick when wet, so we advise against it for steps and slopes.
Wondering whether your slab can be saved? We will look it over and give you an honest answer.

Did a Sidewalk Violation Start With a Cracked Slab?

FAQ
Woodlawn Concrete Questions
Replace it when slabs have sunk, cracked in several places or started to crumble. A patch only suits small surface damage over a solid base.
Yes. We build forms to the grade and set the pitch so water leaves the slab and does not collect against the house.
A job entirely on your own property does not need the DOT sidewalk permit. Structural work, retaining walls and curb cuts can need DOB permits, so confirm current rules with the city.
