Sidewalks and curbs

A utility trench that left a dip in the walk

A rectangular utility trench patch that has settled into a dip in an HOA sidewalk.

A trench patch that settled is not a root heave. The line on the paper should say the cut, not sidewalk repairs.

A rectangular patch in a community walk is usually a utility trench, not a root and not a storm washout. Precision Concrete & Construction sees those dips after fiber, water, or cable crews cut the panel and put a cold patch back that later settles.

HOA managers in Orange, Seminole, Brevard, Volusia, Osceola, and Lake counties get the resident call months after the utility left. The patch is a different color. It holds water. It is a trip. Grinding the high side of a settled patch does not put the base back.

Name the cut on the estimate

Nikki Mejia walks the run. The proposal should say utility-cut replacement, not a lump of sidewalk repairs. If the utility is still finishing the street, wait until they are off it, or the new panel gets cut again. The washout guide is a void after rain. The trip-hazard page is a lip from roots. This page is the trench.

What this is not

This is not a utility claim, and it is not a promise the original contractor will pay. Call (407) 925-7873 for a free assessment, or email info@precisionpaintandconstruction.com. A photo from the side, showing the rectangle, is enough to start.
