Concrete in El Cajon
El Cajon sits in an inland valley in East County, surrounded by hills, and is one of the hotter parts of the metro in summer, so heat and dry Santa Ana winds make curing a real concern. Much of the housing dates from the post-war decades, so original driveways, carport slabs and walks are often well past their prime. Hillside lots around the valley add drainage and slope issues. Permits run through the City of El Cajon.

Before you call
- Photograph cracks, lifted edges and sunken sections, with a coin or tape measure in the shot for scale
- Note where sprinklers, drip lines and downspouts wet the ground next to the slab
- Ask your city whether a driveway, curb or sidewalk change needs a right-of-way permit, and check HOA rules
- Make sure the contractor calls 811 (DigAlert) before any digging, and confirm their CSLB license number
