Sidewalk Crack Sealing & New Sidewalk Installation in NYC
Keep Your Sidewalk Strong and Safe
Sidewalk Crack Sealing NYC
Even a small crack can turn into a bigger issue. Rainwater seeps inside, freezes in winter, and widens the crack. Over time, the slab weakens, breaks apart, and becomes unsafe. Common issues caused by sidewalk cracks include:
- Uneven slabs that cause trip hazards
- Water pooling near foundations
- Weeds growing through gaps
- DOT sidewalk violations

Our sidewalk in Queens had cracks that kept getting worse. The team sealed the cracks quickly, and it now looks smooth and safe. Very professional and fair pricing.
