Concrete Repair & Restoration

When to Repair vs Replace

Not every damaged concrete surface needs to be completely replaced. In many cases, we can repair or restore the existing concrete and save you thousands of dollars compared to tearing it out and starting over. The key is knowing when repair makes sense and when replacement is the better option.

Here in Maricopa, we see all kinds of concrete damage. Cracks from settling, spalling from freeze-thaw cycles, surface erosion from sun and weather, and uneven slabs from soil movement. Some of these problems can be fixed. Others cannot. We will be honest with you about what makes the most sense for your situation.

Generally, if the concrete is structurally sound but has surface damage, we can repair it. If the slab is severely cracked, sinking, or failing at the base level, replacement is usually the better long-term solution. We will inspect your concrete, explain what is happening, and give you options so you can make an informed decision.

How We Repair Concrete

Every repair is different, but here is the general process we follow:

Step 1: Inspection and Assessment

We start by inspecting the damaged area to figure out what caused the problem and whether repair is the right solution. We look at the extent of the damage, check for underlying issues like soil movement or drainage problems, and determine what method will work best.

Step 2: Preparation

We clean and prep the damaged area. This might involve grinding, chipping out loose concrete, or cleaning cracks so the repair material bonds properly. Proper prep is critical. If we skip this step, the repair will not hold.

Step 3: Repair Application

We apply the repair material using the right method for the job. For cracks, we inject epoxy or polyurethane sealant. For surface damage, we apply a bonding agent and patch material. For sunken slabs, we lift them using mudjacking or foam injection. Each repair method is different, and we use the one that fits your situation.

Step 4: Finishing and Sealing

Once the repair is complete, we finish the surface to match the surrounding concrete as closely as possible. We also apply a sealer if needed to protect the repair and extend its lifespan. When we are done, your concrete looks better and functions the way it should.

Preventing Future Damage

Repairing the concrete is only part of the solution. If we do not address what caused the damage in the first place, the problem will come back. Here is what we look for:

• Drainage issues: Water pooling under or around concrete is a common cause of damage. We make sure water drains away from the slab.
• Soil problems: Expansive or unstable soil can cause settling and cracking. In some cases, we need to stabilize the soil before repairing the concrete.
• Tree roots: Roots growing under concrete can lift and crack slabs. We identify and address root issues if they are causing damage.
• Poor installation: If the concrete was not installed correctly in the first place, repairs may not last. In those cases, replacement is the better option.

When you work with CityView Maricopa Concrete, we do not just patch the surface and walk away. We figure out what caused the problem and make sure it does not happen again. That is how you get a repair that actually lasts.
