Fix damaged concrete and restore it to like-new condition without complete replacement.
Not every damaged concrete surface needs to be torn out and replaced. Many problems can be fixed at a fraction of the cost of replacement. The key is catching issues early and using the right repair methods.
If your concrete is structurally sound but has cosmetic damage, surface cracks, or minor settling, repair is usually the smart choice. Even some significant damage can be fixed if the underlying base is solid. We evaluate your concrete honestly and recommend repair when it makes sense or replacement when necessary. Our concrete services in McAllen cover both options.
We handle a wide range of concrete repair issues. Here are the most common problems we see and fix:
Each problem requires a different repair approach. We use proven techniques and quality materials to ensure repairs last.
Modern concrete repair has come a long way. We use advanced materials and techniques that create strong, long-lasting repairs.
For active cracks that are still moving, we use flexible sealants that allow for continued minor movement. For stable cracks, we clean them thoroughly, apply bonding agents, and fill with specialized repair compounds that match the existing concrete.
When the surface is damaged but the base is solid, we can apply concrete overlays or resurfacing compounds. These thin layers bond to the existing concrete and create a fresh, new surface. We can even add color or texture to match or improve the look. This works great for driveways and patios with cosmetic damage.
Sunken concrete slabs can often be raised back to proper level using specialized techniques. This eliminates trip hazards and improves drainage without the cost of replacement. It's particularly effective for sidewalks and patio sections.
After we repair your concrete, you'll want to protect that investment. Here are the most effective ways to prevent future problems:
Seal the surface: Quality concrete sealer protects against moisture, stains, and freeze-thaw damage. Reapply every 2 to 3 years for continuous protection.
Maintain proper drainage: Keep water flowing away from concrete surfaces. Clean gutters, extend downspouts, and fill any low spots where water pools.
Clean regularly: Remove dirt, leaves, and debris that hold moisture against the concrete. Promptly clean any oil or chemical spills.
Address issues quickly: Small cracks are easy to fix. If you wait until they're big problems, repairs become more expensive. Call us at the first sign of trouble.
