Concrete Repair & Replacement

When to Repair vs. Replace Your Concrete

Not all concrete damage means you need a complete replacement. Many problems can be repaired at a fraction of the cost. Small cracks, minor surface damage, and isolated sections can often be fixed without tearing out the entire slab. The key is catching issues early before they spread and cause bigger problems.

Repair makes sense when the damage is limited to one area and the rest of the concrete is in good shape. If you have a few cracks or a small section that has settled, we can patch or level that area without disturbing the rest. However, if your concrete has widespread cracking, major settling, or structural damage, replacement might be the better choice. A full replacement gives you a fresh start and eliminates ongoing issues.

We help homeowners in Duncanville make the right decision based on the condition of their concrete and their budget. During our inspection, we assess the damage, explain your options, and recommend the most cost-effective solution. Whether you need a quick repair or a complete replacement, we handle it with the same level of care and quality.

Common Concrete Problems We Fix

Concrete damage comes in many forms, and each type requires a different approach. We have seen it all and know how to fix it right. Here are the most common issues we handle for homeowners and businesses in the area:

Types of Concrete Damage

• •Cracks: Small hairline cracks are normal, but wider cracks can let water in and grow over time. We fill and seal cracks to prevent further damage and improve appearance.
• •Settling and sinking: When soil shifts or washes away underneath, concrete can sink and become uneven. This creates trip hazards and drainage problems. We can lift and level sunken sections.
• •Spalling and flaking: Surface concrete can chip, flake, or peel due to freeze-thaw cycles, poor finishing, or deicing salt. We remove damaged material and resurface the area.
• •Stains and discoloration: Oil, rust, and other stains can make concrete look old and neglected. We clean and treat stains, or apply coatings to restore a fresh appearance.
• •Broken edges and corners: High-traffic areas like driveway edges can break or crumble. We rebuild these sections to match the existing concrete.
• •Water damage and erosion: Poor drainage can wash away soil and undermine concrete. We address the underlying cause and repair the damaged area.

No matter what type of damage you are dealing with, we have the tools and experience to fix it. We use high-quality repair materials that bond well with existing concrete and stand up to weather and use. Our goal is to restore your concrete so it looks good and functions properly for years to come.

Our Repair and Replacement Process

Every repair job starts with a thorough inspection. We look at the damage, check the surrounding area, and figure out what caused the problem in the first place. If we only fix the surface without addressing the root cause, the damage will come back. We make sure to solve the underlying issue so the repair lasts.

For crack repairs, we clean out the crack, remove any loose material, and fill it with a flexible sealant or patching compound. For larger cracks or structural concerns, we may need to cut out a section and pour new concrete. We match the color and finish as closely as possible so the repair blends in with the existing surface.

When replacement is necessary, we remove the damaged concrete, prepare the base, and pour fresh concrete. This process is similar to new construction, but we take extra care to tie the new section into the existing work. We use proper joints and reinforcement to prevent the new concrete from cracking or separating.

After completing the repair or replacement, we clean up the site and haul away debris. You will be left with a safe, functional surface that looks great. We also provide tips on maintenance and care to help you avoid future problems. If drainage or soil issues contributed to the damage, we can recommend solutions to prevent it from happening again.
