Known for being a litigious state, California sets high standards for maintaining walkways. When those standards are not met, individuals and corporations can be liable for damages and subject to personal injury lawsuits. FloMix is a fast and long-lasting solution to damaged walkways and preventing costly lawsuits.

Sidewalk maintenance is the responsibility of the property owner, according to the State of California Streets and Highways Code, Sections 5610-5611, “The owners of lots or portions of lots fronting on any portion of a public street or place when that street or place is improved or if and when the area between the property line of the adjacent property and the street line is maintained as a park or parking strip, shall maintain any sidewalk in such condition that the sidewalk will not endanger persons or property …When any portion of the sidewalk is out of repair or pending reconstruction and in condition to endanger persons or property or in condition to interfere with the public convenience in the use of such sidewalk, the superintendent of streets shall notify the owner or person in possession of the property fronting on that portion of such sidewalk so out of repair, to repair the sidewalk.”

For a simple and safe asphalt repair, FloMix polyurethane asphalt repair product is your best option. With polyurethanes, asphalt repair is strong yet flexible, preventing further breakdown. FloMix actually bonds to the asphalt repair, making it last longer than other options.

Polyurethane asphalt repairs can be done in most any weather. Provided the walkway can be dried before you begin, there is no need to worry about temperatures. FloMix can be ordered with a catalyst for use in cold weather. With traditional repairs the weather must be right and your walkway could be subject to a lengthy closure. With FloMix, your asphalt repair will set up in under an hour regardless of humidity or cold.
Tools needed:

  • FloMix
  • A push broom or blower
  • Drill
  • Trowel or Lute

Make sure your walkway is clean and dry. Sweep or blow out cracks so there is no loose debris. Using Roklin’s FloMix asphalt repair product, carefully pour contents of bottle “a” into provided 5-gallon bucket then add special sand. Next, shake thoroughly and pour bottle “b” into sand mixture. Mix with an egg-beater style pail mixer, using a drill. When mixture is completely wet, pour FloMix onto walkway and use a trowel or lute to smooth material into cracks. When walkway is smooth, toss topping sand by hand over repaired area to create a uniform look and feel. Your walkway can be reopened in about an hour.
