Concrete Repair & Replacement in Tracy
Concrete repair in Tracy usually means one of three things: settling slabs on clay lots, tree roots lifting older driveways and walks near downtown, or sidewalk and curb damage that needs a City permit to fix.

Find the cause before choosing the fix. Panels sinking at one end usually mean a washed-out or poorly compacted base, which can sometimes be lifted and leveled. Panels lifted near a tree mean roots, which call for replacement with root pruning or a barrier. Fine surface crazing on a newer slab usually traces back to a pour that dried too fast in the wind.
Sidewalks and curbs are in the public right-of-way. Under California's Streets and Highways Code (section 5610), owners of property along a public street are generally responsible for keeping the sidewalk safe, and Tracy requires an encroachment permit for sidewalk and curb repairs. If you think a City street tree caused the damage, contact the City before paying for the repair.
Patch hairline cracks and small chips. Once a panel is offset more than half an inch or rocks when you step on it, replacing it is usually cheaper over time than repeat repairs.
Concrete Repair & Replacement questions
Who fixes the sidewalk in front of my house in Tracy?
Under California's Streets and Highways Code, the adjacent owner is generally responsible for maintaining the sidewalk. Call the City if a street tree caused the damage, and get any repair done under a Tracy encroachment permit.
Can sunken concrete be raised?
Often, if the slab is in one piece. Leveling costs less than replacement; broken panels should be replaced.

Yes. Sidewalk and curb repairs need a City of Tracy encroachment permit through Development Engineering.
