Cracked Concrete

Cracked concrete is a pervasive problem that can afflict any concrete surface, from sidewalks and driveways to bridges and buildings. These fissures can range from hairline cracks to deep fractures that compromise the concrete’s structural integrity. 

Concrete damage can manifest in many ways on various structures, such as: 

• Cracked driveways  
• Cracked sidewalks 
• Cracked pool decks 
• Lifting of interior slabs 
• Cracked and sinking patios 
• Cracked and sinking steps 
• Cracked and sinking porches 

Cracks are frequently accompanied by other forms of damage, including: 

• Sinking concrete slabs 
• Concrete flaking, pitting, and staining 

Several factors cause cracked concrete, including: 

• Prolonged periods of heavy rain, flooding, or snowmelt 
• Repeated freeze-thaw cycles 
• Improper pouring of concrete 
• Problems with curing during installation 
• Soil issues such as shifting and eroding 
• Poor gutter drainage 
• Intrusive tree roots 
• Standard wear and tear 

Yes, cracked concrete can be fixed. Timely attention to the issue is crucial, as extensive damage may limit available repair options. 

While it may be tempting to resort to quick fixes like sealing the cracks or traditional mudjacking methods, these approaches fail to address the underlying causes. DIY projects often worsen deterioration and escalate repair costs.

We utilize polyurethane injection technology called PolyRenewal™ to lift sinking and cracking exterior concrete surfaces.
