Common concrete problems
Typical concerns include cracks, chipped edges, surface scaling, low spots, uneven transitions and deteriorated sections of driveways, patios or walkways.
Start with the cause
A durable repair depends on understanding why the concrete failed. Water movement, soil conditions, impact, tree roots, poor drainage and age can all affect flatwork.
Repair vs. replacement
Localized damage may lend itself to repair. When movement is ongoing or a large area has failed, replacement can be the cleaner long-term approach.
Matching old concrete
New repair material can differ in color and texture from existing concrete. Expectations should be discussed before work starts, especially in highly visible areas.
Frequently asked questions
Can every concrete crack be repaired?
Many cracks can be filled or repaired, but the right method depends on crack width, movement, location and the condition of the surrounding slab.
Will repaired concrete match exactly?
Exact color and texture matches can be difficult, particularly on older concrete exposed to weather.
Should uneven concrete be repaired quickly?
Uneven walking surfaces can create trip concerns, so it is sensible to have the area assessed and keep it clearly visible until corrected.
