4 Signs Your Home Needs Concrete Repair

Like many homeowners, your home is one of your most significant investments. Maintaining it is crucial, and concreter shouldn’t be overlooked.

Despite its durability, concrete isn’t immune to damage. Over time, it may exhibit signs of wear such as cracks or sinking. Addressing concrete issues quickly with a trusted concrete repair company can prevent minor problems from escalating, saving you both time and money. Here are four key signs that your concrete needs attention.

1. Cracks in the Concrete

Concrete inevitably cracks over time due to various factors, including soil expansion and contraction or poor construction. Concrete cracks hurt the aesthetic appeal of your property and they will only get worse if left unattended. Not to mention, they can create tripping hazards that cause injury to you or loved ones.

Fortunately, most cracks are can be repaired with concrete leveling techniques. If you notice any cracking, it’s best to consult a professional concrete company like us rather than attempting a DIY fix.

2. Sinking Concrete

If concrete structures on your property are sinking, it signals underlying soil issues like erosion or expansion. Ignoring uneven concrete can lead to further damage, increased costs, and safety hazards. Sinking concrete will only get worse over time, so don’t delay.

3. Pooling Water

Do you see puddles on your driveway or sidewalks after it rains? This could mean the ground under the concrete is washing away, making the concrete sink and become uneven.

When water doesn’t drain properly, it collects in low spots. Not only are these puddles annoying, but they also make your property look less appealing. Plus, if water sits on concrete for too long, it can turn the surface moldy, dark, and cause stains that don’t go away.

4. Signs of Aging

Concrete is durable, but it ages due to weather and time. Eventually, the surface will showing signs like pitting, flaking, and staining. These issues indicate it’s time for a refresh to restore its appearance. Remember, the state of your concrete significantly affects your home or business’s curb appeal; worn and damaged surfaces detract from its overall look.

If you see the signs of aging on concrete surfaces around your home, you may need professional repair services for the job. It may be possible to lift, stabilize and seal rather than replace your existing concrete. Find out how our PolyRenewal™ compares with the alternatives.
