Concrete Repair & Replacement

Signs Your Concrete Needs Attention

Concrete problems don't fix themselves. Small cracks grow larger, uneven sections get worse, and water damage spreads. If you're seeing any of these issues around your Farmington property, it's time to take action:

• Cracks wider than a quarter-inch that are growing
• Sections that have sunk or tilted, creating trip hazards
• Flaking or spalling surface that exposes aggregate underneath
• Water pooling in areas that used to drain properly
• Crumbling edges around driveways, walkways, or patios

The longer you wait, the more expensive the fix becomes. What starts as a simple repair can turn into full replacement if you ignore it for too long.

Repair vs. Replacement: Making the Right Choice

Not every damaged concrete surface needs complete replacement. Here's how we decide what makes sense:

Minor surface cracks, small spalled areas, and cosmetic damage can often be repaired. We clean out the damaged section, prep the surface, and apply repair materials that bond to the existing concrete. This works well for isolated problems that haven't compromised the structural integrity.

Full replacement makes sense when you have widespread cracking, severe settling, or deep structural damage. If more than 30% of your surface is damaged, or if the base underneath has failed, patching won't hold up. We remove the old concrete, fix the underlying problem, and install a new slab that will last for decades.

During your free estimate, we honestly assess your situation and recommend the most cost-effective solution. Sometimes that's repair, sometimes it's replacement, and sometimes it's a combination where we replace the worst sections and repair the rest.

Common Concrete Problems We Fix

We handle all types of concrete damage around residential and commercial properties:

Settlement and sinking: When soil underneath compresses or washes away, concrete slabs sink unevenly. We either raise the existing slab with mudjacking or remove and replace sections with proper base prep.

Crack repair: We route out cracks, clean them thoroughly, and fill with flexible sealants or repair mortars. For driveways and high-traffic areas, we may add reinforcement to prevent the crack from returning.

Surface restoration: Spalling, scaling, and pitted surfaces get ground down, patched, or resurfaced depending on severity. If you want to improve appearance at the same time, we can apply decorative overlays or stains during restoration.

Preventing Future Damage

After we repair or replace your concrete, we identify what caused the damage in the first place. Poor drainage, tree roots, unstable soil, or inadequate base material often contribute to concrete failure. We address these issues so your new or repaired surface lasts longer.

Regular maintenance also helps. Seal concrete patios and driveways every few years, keep expansion joints clean, and fix small cracks before they grow. We provide maintenance recommendations specific to your situation during every job.
