Sidewalk Repair and Replacement in Torrance, CA
Our Sidewalk Repair Services
We focus on fixing common sidewalk problems with precise techniques that extend the life of concrete. Our methods include filling cracks, leveling uneven surfaces, and repairing joints to keep sidewalks safe and sturdy.
Crack Filling and Sealing
We start by cleaning out cracks to remove dirt and debris. Then, we fill them with a high-quality, flexible sealant that prevents water from entering and causing more damage. This helps stop cracks from getting bigger.
Our sealants bond tightly with the concrete, allowing for expansion and contraction without breaking. This approach reduces the chance of trips and falls on damaged sidewalks. We target cracks as small as 1/8 inch wide but can handle larger ones too.
Surface Leveling and Grinding
Uneven sidewalk surfaces cause tripping hazards and wear quickly. We use leveling compounds to raise low areas and grinding tools to smooth down high spots. This restores a uniform, safe walking surface.
Our grinding method removes bumps and rough edges without harming the concrete integrity. Leveling compounds fill dips and settle quickly, allowing sidewalks to be used again in a short time. We measure changes carefully to create a consistent slope for drainage.
Joint Repair Options
Concrete joints expand and contract with temperature changes and eventually wear out. We remove damaged joint material and replace it with flexible fillers designed to move with the sidewalk.
This repair prevents water and debris from getting under the sidewalk slabs, which can cause lifting or sinking. We use fillers that withstand traffic and weather. Our joint repairs extend the life of sidewalks and improve their safety and appearance.

Our team uses heavy equipment for fast and thorough removal. We make sure the ground is even and free of loose dirt before installing new concrete.
New Concrete Installation
We use modern mixing and pouring methods to ensure strong, even sidewalks. Our concrete is tested for proper water and cement ratios.
After pouring, we level and smooth the surface. We add control joints to prevent cracks from temperature changes and shrinking.
We also apply sealants to protect the concrete from water damage and wear. This helps the sidewalk last longer with less maintenance.
