There are several signs that you should watch for that indicate you might need professional concrete repair.

Concrete is one of the most robust materials used in buildings and homes daily. However, that does not mean it will never break or become damaged over time. Whether you noticed your concrete patio starting to crumble or are concerned about the integrity of the concrete outside of your business, there are several signs that you should watch for that indicate you might need professional concrete repair.

Cracking

One of the first signs that you need professional concrete repair that you might notice is cracks in the concrete. Cracks are typically an indicator of structural problems, so the sooner they are fixed, the lower the chances of permanent damage will be. Depending on how the cracks formed, they might result from settling or weather conditions. A professional can determine the problem to recommend the right solution.

Crumbling

Spalling is another common issue that requires professional concrete repair. This happens naturally when water seeps through tiny cracks and openings in concrete or another masonry. When temperatures drop below freezing, this water expands. This leads to pitting and crumbling, which can compromise the integrity of your concrete surface.

Uneven Surface or Pooling

Any professionally installed concrete surface should be completely level, meaning there should never be moisture pooling in certain areas or a noticeable change from side to side. If your concrete is suddenly uneven or notices big puddles of water after a storm, you should call for professional concrete repair. We can determine the underlying issue and make recommendations to avoid permanent water damage.

Discoloration

While many of the issues listed above are very serious and must be taken care of immediately, discoloration is more of a cosmetic concern. However, that does not mean it shouldn’t be taken care of with professional concrete repair! Talking to a professional is also essential because, in some cases, the discoloration is a sign of damage.
