Burien repair cracked concrete walkway
Homeowner’s Issue
Cracked walkways in Burien often stem from our wet winters, freeze-thaw cycles, clayey or compacted soils, and yards on slopes near Seahurst Park or Des Moines Creek Park. Water from heavy rains seeks low spots, lifting edges and allowing moss and ivy to take hold; poor drainage and tree roots make small cracks grow fast. Landlords and homeowners want solutions that stop further damage, reduce slip hazards, and require less upkeep between seasonal visits. A sustainable repair focuses on stabilizing the slab, improving drainage, and using long-lasting fillers and sealants that withstand Puget Sound moisture without replacing the entire walk unnecessarily.
Our Quality Service
We inspect cracks, identify root causes, and choose repairs that match the problem — from gap filling and joint repair to partial slab replacement and surface sealing. Work is done with hand tools and low-impact equipment to avoid extra disturbance, and we prioritize permeable fixes and recycled-material hauling when possible. Benefits include improved safety, stronger curb appeal, and lower long-term upkeep for rental turnovers or family homes.

Before & After / Expectations
After repair, keep the area clear for 24–48 hours to cure, and avoid heavy loads for a week. For Burien yards, water newly repaired edges sparingly, pull weeds and ivy before they re-establish, and remove moss with a stiff broom and dry-season scraping. Re-check joints each fall and address drainage to prevent repeat issues.
FAQs
