UNEVEN, BUCKLED or CRACKED CONCRETE WALKWAYS
It is the Homeowners’ responsibility to maintain and fix, if necessary, all concrete walkways on their property.
In Houston, the extreme draught conditions with intermittent soaking rains may cause walkways overtime to move, buckle or crack. Also chances are that the trees and bushes around your yards, if not thoroughly irrigated, could make the root system expand under the concrete slab. This can result into buckling and cracking. Apart from the aesthetics, buckled or cracked walkways allow water to pool causing long-term damage to the slab. Standing water also invites mosquitoes and insects. And let’s not forget the legal issues: uneven slabs should be fixed because it’s a tripping hazard. In early 2012, the architectural committee through AMI will issue notices of deed violation to homeowners where buckled or cracked walkways are deemed to pose a safety hazard. Please be proactive and do not wait for the notice to arrive. Fix the problem as soon as possible if you notice your property has this issue.
