Concrete Repair & Restoration

When Repair Makes Sense

Not every crack or surface problem means you need to tear out and replace your concrete. In many cases, proper repairs can extend the life of your existing concrete by years or even decades. The key is catching problems early before they get worse. Small cracks can be filled and sealed. Sunken sections can sometimes be lifted. Surface damage can be resurfaced or patched.

We evaluate your concrete honestly and tell you whether repair makes sense or if replacement is the better option. Sometimes repair costs almost as much as replacement, and in those cases, starting fresh gives you better long-term value. But often, smart repairs save you money while giving you years more use from your existing concrete. Our goal is to recommend what actually makes sense for your situation and budget.

Common Concrete Problems We Fix

We handle all types of concrete repair and restoration work. Here are the most common issues we see:

• Crack repair: We fill and seal cracks to prevent water intrusion and further damage.
• Slab leveling: We lift sunken concrete sections back to proper grade using foam injection or mudjacking.
• Surface restoration: We resurface worn, pitted, or damaged concrete with new overlay.
• Spalling repair: We fix flaking or chipping concrete surfaces caused by freeze-thaw or poor finishing.
• Joint resealing: We remove old failed joint sealant and install new material to prevent water damage.
• Partial replacement: We remove and replace severely damaged sections while saving the good concrete.

Each repair method suits specific situations. We use the right technique for your particular problem to give you lasting results. The repair should blend with your existing concrete and hold up to normal use.

How We Restore Damaged Concrete

Different problems need different solutions. For cracks, we start by cleaning out the crack and checking what caused it. If the underlying issue is fixed, we fill the crack with flexible sealant or epoxy that moves with the concrete. For wider cracks or those showing signs of movement, we might add reinforcement before filling.

Sunken concrete often happens because the soil underneath settled or washed away. We can lift these sections back to level using polyurethane foam injection. The foam expands under the slab and raises it precisely where needed. This works great for driveways, walkways, and patio sections that have dropped. It costs less than replacement and gets done in a day.

Surface problems like spalling or wear get fixed with concrete overlays or resurfacing. We prepare the existing surface, apply bonding agents, and add a new layer of concrete or specialized overlay material. This gives you a fresh surface while keeping the structural concrete underneath. If you are also considering decorative finishes or need work on your driveway, we can coordinate repairs with those upgrades.

Preventing Future Concrete Problems

After we repair your concrete, you want it to stay in good shape. Regular maintenance helps prevent new problems from developing. Keep water draining away from concrete surfaces by maintaining gutters and downspouts. Seal cracks when they first appear rather than waiting for them to spread. Reseal concrete every few years to protect the surface from water and stains.

Watch for early warning signs like small cracks, surface flaking, or areas that seem to be settling. Addressing these issues early costs far less than waiting until major repairs are needed. We can set up a maintenance schedule if you want regular inspections and preventive sealing. Many concrete problems develop slowly, and catching them early makes a huge difference in repair costs.
