Concrete Repair & Replacement
Fix damaged concrete or replace it completely for a fresh, safe surface that lasts.
When to Repair and When to Replace
Not all concrete problems need a complete replacement. Some damage can be repaired effectively and affordably. The key is knowing which approach makes sense for your situation. Here in DeSoto, TX, we see all kinds of concrete issues from minor cracks to major structural problems. We give you honest assessments about what your concrete really needs.
Small cracks, surface spalling, and minor settling often respond well to repairs. These fixes extend the life of your concrete and prevent bigger problems from developing. However, extensive cracking, major settling, or structural damage usually means replacement is the better choice. Trying to patch severely damaged concrete often wastes money because the problems continue. We help you understand your options so you can make the right decision for your property and budget.
Common Concrete Problems We Fix
Concrete damage comes in many forms. Some problems are just cosmetic while others create safety hazards or cause water drainage issues. We have solutions for all types of concrete damage you might encounter around your property.
Issues We Repair or Replace
- Cracked driveways and patios that worsen over time
- Uneven or sunken concrete slabs that create trip hazards
- Spalling and flaking surfaces that look bad and get worse
- Concrete damaged by tree roots or poor drainage
- Pitted or scaled concrete from freeze-thaw cycles and deicing salts
- Structural cracks in foundations and load-bearing slabs
Each problem requires a specific approach. We might use techniques like slab jacking to level sunken concrete, epoxy injection for crack repairs, or resurfacing for surface damage. When replacement makes more sense, we remove the damaged concrete and install new concrete properly. Our experience with concrete driveway installations means we know how to build replacements that last.
Our Repair and Replacement Process
Every repair or replacement job starts with a thorough inspection. We look at the visible damage and investigate what caused it in the first place. Maybe poor drainage led to soil erosion under your slab. Perhaps tree roots lifted your sidewalk. Understanding the cause helps us fix the real problem, not just the symptoms.
For repairs, we prepare the damaged area properly, remove loose or deteriorated concrete, and apply the appropriate repair materials. We match existing concrete as closely as possible so repairs blend in. For replacements, we remove the old concrete, address any base or drainage issues, and install new concrete using proven techniques. This might mean improving the gravel base, adding proper drainage, or using stronger concrete mixes.
The goal is always a lasting solution. Quick patches that fail in a year don't help anyone. We take the time to do repairs and replacements right so you get reliable results. Just like our foundation and slab work, we focus on quality that stands up to Texas weather and daily use.
