This is a minor repair with catastrophic results if not corrected. This sidewalk initially had a small crack between the base of the building and the walkway. Originally the walkway was pitched away from the house. Since the crack was never caulked, it now slopes toward the home and we have water-ponding (evidence of algae) next to the home. This will continue to escalate to larger problems in the walls and foundation. This walkway needs to be mud-jacked - which is the process of drilling holes in the sidewalk and pumping mud underneath it to correctly pitch water away from the home - or just have a new sidewalk poured.
