In most cases, older sidewalks have settled and began tilting towards your residential home and become an impediment to the grade, and drainage around your property. In these cases, the removal and replacement of these sidewalks are always recommended to properly address the negative grade that is guiding unnecessary water towards your foundation.
The proper approach we take is to neatly remove the concrete sidewalks around your home, to then properly address the grade to drain water away from your foundation. The next step is to either re-landscape the area around your home with beautiful new shrubs and trees, and decide if re-pouring a new sidewalk is within your budget or the placement of new sidewalk blocks, paving stones or brickwork is a more convenient and economical direction to take.
