Whether you need small repairs or a full rebuild, we use strong DOT-approved materials to make sidewalks smooth, safe, and long-lasting.

Sidewalk Crack Sealing NYC

Why Sidewalk Cracks Are a Problem
How Crack Sealing Works
Benefits of Crack Sealing

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

Lower property value

Our sidewalk crack sealing process is simple and effective:

  1. Inspection – We check the size and depth of cracks.
  2. Cleaning – We remove dirt, weeds, and debris from the cracks.
  3. Filling – We use strong crack fillers designed for NYC sidewalks.
  4. Sealing – We apply sealant that bonds with the concrete and prevents water entry.
  5. Finishing – We smooth the surface so it blends with the existing sidewalk.

This repair method works for both residential and commercial sidewalks.

  • Stops cracks from spreading
  • Extends the life of your sidewalk
  • Prevents DOT violations
  • Improves safety and appearance
  • Costs less than full replacement
