Commercial Sidewalk Crack Cleanup — White Center
Homeowner’s Issue
Sidewalks in Commercial, especially around White Center, take a real beating from our Pacific Northwest weather. Heavy, frequent rains, clay-loam pockets, and tree roots lift slabs and open cracks. Low-sun corridors and north-facing stretches collect moss and algae, while south-facing strips can dry and flake. Many properties sit on gentle slopes or near curb cuts that change drainage patterns, sending water under slabs and speeding freeze-thaw damage in winter.
HOA rules and city codes in the area — from Delridge to Burien — often require tidy sidewalks and safe transitions at driveways, so curb appeal and liability are common concerns. Weeds and volunteer grasses exploit gaps, making surfaces uneven and slippery. Typical homeowner challenges include managing runoff, keeping sidewalks clear of moss and ivy, and preventing root damage without using harsh chemicals. For Commercial homeowners near Westcrest Park or Lincoln Park routes, visibility matters: a neat, repaired walkway reduces tripping hazards and improves property presentation. Sustainable, low-impact repairs that address drainage and root conflicts are the practical way to extend service life and limit repeat visits.

Before & After / Expectations
Expect some noise from pressure washing or grinding on service day and small amounts of debris during prep. We block work areas briefly and restore safe passage when finished.

After repairs, avoid heavy loads on new fillers for 24–48 hours and follow our low-water curing guidance when Seattle has an unexpected dry spell.
