Steps & Walkways
Years of foot traffic eventually cause steps and walkways to develop unsightly cracks and stains. Especially the corners and edges are sensitive and may be responsible for trip ‘n’ fall incidents.
Therefore, when the degeneration is left unattended not only do they appear old, but also are highly unsafe to tread. A timely walkway and step repair intervention is essential to recover the damage and restore them back in form.
Although both steps and walkways are a means to travel from one point to another, the obvious difference of one being level grounded and the other helping you climb a level separates the construction process.
The basics of walkway and step repair stay the same:
- Addressing the damage
- Building a corner form
- Mixing & applying the repair material
- Finishing touch to the surface
- The difference lies in the process of laying the foundation
Ideally, steps should be built on a solid foundation to make them stay still- as done in case of the foundation of your house. Whereas, walkways should be properly graded in order to allow proper drainage and evade water accumulation.
