Concrete Contractor services in Alameda
Water is never far away in Alameda. The city is an island plus Bay Farm, and large parts of South Shore, Bay Farm and the old naval base are filled land with groundwater close to the surface. The main island is flat and sandy, so slabs here tend to settle evenly or tilt slightly, and standing water after a storm is a more common complaint than a big crack. Alameda is known for its Victorians and Craftsman houses on deep, narrow lots, many with a long driveway running past the house to a garage at the back. Mature street trees line those blocks and push up sidewalk panels. Salt air reaches every street, which is one more reason to keep steel well covered inside the concrete. On Alameda jobs we check slope carefully, because a flat lot gives rain very few places to go.

Permits and local rules
The City of Alameda says state law and its municipal code make the adjacent owner responsible for the sidewalk, curb, gutter and driveway approach. By long-standing practice the City itself repairs sidewalk damage caused by street trees. Work in the public right of way should be cleared with the Permit Center before it starts.
