Yes, go to your neighborhood hardware store and ask them. They are usually very helpful. If you can take a photo with your phone or a digital camera of the sidewalk and show it to them.

Good luck....(Answered by nightcricket) |

Is a building contractor responsible for repairing a sidewalk crack a month after closing?
We purchased a new house in Pima County, near Tucson AZ, and at the time of the walk-through just prior to the closing, there was no crack in the sidewalk. The crack subsequently appeared and extended from a 3 inch crack becomming about a 2 foot crack in just a few days. The crack is less than 1/16 of an inch thick. The contractor says cracking in concrete is almost universal, and given the fact that there are no significant structural or safety issues, he will do no more than re-evaluate the situation in 6 months. The sidewalk was ugly ... (Asked by Sparky)

If you don't have a pressure washer handy, (I'll assume you don't) start with a good de-greaser like Castrol Super Clean. (You can buy it at Wal Mart) Mix it about 50/50 with water in a spray bottle. Spray the area you want to clean until you get it damp. Let it set for a couple of minutes for the butyl chemicals to start working. Use a bucket of warm water and a brush or push broom to agitate it (scrub) then rinse it thoroughly with cold water (garden hose) You can use the de-greaser ...(Answered by woobinator) |
