When to Repair or Replace Concrete
1. Cracks
Small cracks may be able to be repaired, but larger or multiple cracks may indicate a more serious issue that requires replacement.
2. Spalling
Spalling occurs when the surface of the concrete flakes or chips away, often due to freeze-thaw cycles or the use of de-icing salts.
3. Settling or Sinking
If you notice that your concrete is no longer level or has sunken in certain areas, it may need to be replaced to prevent further damage.
4. Pitting
Small, bowl-shaped cavities can form on the surface of the concrete, usually due to a chemical reaction or wear and tear. Pitting can weaken the concrete and may require repair or replacement.
5. Crumbling Edges
If the edges of your concrete are crumbling or breaking apart, it may be a sign of underlying issues that require attention.
6. Water Damage
Water can cause significant damage to concrete over time, leading to cracks, spalling, or even structural issues. If you notice water pooling or seeping into your concrete, it's important to address the issue promptly.
7. Heaving
Expanding soil underneath can push sections of concrete upward. Heaving can lead to cracks and other damage and may require replacement.
The Concrete Repair Process
In some cases, repairing the damaged areas of your concrete may be sufficient to restore its appearance and functionality. However, if the damage is extensive or if the concrete is old and showing multiple signs of deterioration, replacement is often a more cost-effective and long-lasting solution.
At Elite Concrete Solutions, our team will assess the condition of your concrete and recommend the best course of action based on your specific needs.
