Why Having a Maintained Sidewalk is Important
As Milwaukee's top concrete contractor, Dornbrook Construction understands the importance of maintaining sidewalks and walkways. Unmaintained concrete presents safety hazards and leads to building code violations and drainage issues. Cracked, uneven sidewalks pose a significant tripping risk, especially for elderly individuals or those with mobility challenges. Properly maintained sidewalks provide a safe path of travel for pedestrians. Damaged sidewalks also create drainage problems, allowing water to pool rather than flow away. Standing water creates breeding grounds for insects and leads to further deterioration of the concrete over time.
Building owners must stay compliant with local codes requiring sidewalk upkeep or risk incurring costly fines and citations for code violations from municipal authorities. At Dornbrook, we stay on top of all industry requirements. 
Common Deteriorating Sidewalk Problems
Even the most durable concrete sidewalks deteriorate over time due to environmental factors and lack of proper maintenance. Be on the lookout for the following signs. Your sidewalk may need repair or replacement if you see:
- Cracks - Small hairline cracks allow moisture in, eventually leading to larger structural cracks
- Uneven surfaces - Raised, sunken or shifted sections create tripping hazards
- Spalling - Chipped or flaked concrete from foot traffic and weathering
- Scaling - Flaked surface concrete due to exposure from deicing salts
- Efflorescence - White, powdery mineral residue leaching out
- Plant growth - Weeds or grass growing through cracks and joints
Carve the Right Path with Concrete Sidewalk Installation
Installing a new concrete sidewalk correctly involves technical expertise. Thankfully, Dornbrook Construction is up for the challenge. Each phase from subgrade to the finished surface demands specialized expertise to deliver a structurally sound, aesthetic sidewalk.
Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at things our contractors do during concrete sidewalk installation.
1. Analyze soil conditions and water flow to calculate base preparation, slope gradients and vapor barrier needs.
2. Ensure the subgrade reaches the specified compacted density.
3. Establish reinforced formwork with precision string lines and grade stakes.
4. Design the concrete mix to account for local materials and engineer optimal workability and strength.
5. Use techniques like kneeboards, floats and edgers to achieve the specified surface tolerance.
6. Hand-tooling contraction joints at calculated intervals per ACI 318 standards to permit controlled curing and cracking.
7. Use proper curing compounds and methods to facilitate complete hydration.
Expand Your Business Outdoors with a Concrete Patio
Businesses can leverage additional space and atmosphere by having us install a concrete patio. A patio increases usable square footage, allowing restaurants to offer outdoor dining and retailers to merchandise products outside. Concrete provides a durable, low-maintenance surface ideal for setting up furniture, planters and other fixtures. With expert installation and finishing options like stamping or staining, a new patio elevates a property's appearance.
Contractors can customize the patio to meet functional and aesthetic goals. Expanding business operations outdoors with a concrete patio delivers practical benefits while enhancing customer experiences and curb appeal. Your company can maximize space by utilizing the versatility of an outdoor patio constructed with quality concrete.
