DRIVEWAY REPAIR
Over time, an uneven driveway that hasn’t been attended will incur more cracks and may begin to break. Crumbled or severely cracked concrete driveways will require to be replaced entirely.
Replacing a concrete driveway is more expensive and requires far more time and effort than concrete driveway lifting and leveling. Lifting and leveling an existing driveway will typically cost smaller than half of a new installation cost.
DRIVEWAY REPLACEMENT
Driveways are exposed to a massive amount of weight, constant change of weather, and wear and tear. When the soil that is maintaining it becomes weak or a void is formed, concrete slabs can crack and sink. Many things can create an opening underneath a concrete driveway, such as erosion from rainwater or gutter runoff or a tree root decayed over time. Obstructed gutters, downspouts that are not placed correctly, and poor drainage can also cause erosion worse. Dirt fill beneath the slab that has not been well compacted can also create voids beneath the concrete.
Regardless of what’s caused your driveway to sink, split or crack, we can fix it. Uneven and rough driveways are not only an eyesore, but they’re no fun to drive on and also a tripping danger for your family, guests, and neighbors.
CONCRETE WALKWAYS AND SIDEWALKS
If you have a concrete sidewalk and walkways that are broken or uneven, it not only looks terrible, but it can lead to a fall or serious injury. If you have a concrete sidewalk that is cracked or uneven, it not only looks awful, but it can lead to a fall or severe injury. Uneven walkways present a multitude of problems for a homeowner or apartment companies. The most noticeable issue is that an uneven walkway makes the place look unkempt and aged. However, the most significant difficulty is the liability correlated with the trip risks created when a sidewalk settles unevenly.
Walkways made of concrete can be built to prevent standing water and trip accidents. Some cities put the responsibility on the homeowner to repair sidewalks in front of their house. If the town owns your sidewalk, we can help you determine who is responsible for the repair.
An uneven sidewalk is not only unpleasant but also poses safety and liability issues. Unsuspecting pedestrians can trip and fall. Uneven walkways may also cause pooling water, seeping into the previous concrete, and cause eventual warping and cracking.
Another common situation is a sidewalk concrete joint clinging out about an inch higher than the joints’ rest. These damages may be due to soil settlement or poor initial construction. These sidewalks may either present a severe danger, especially at night when the bulge is hardly visible. If you are also planning to sell your property, a real estate agent may also recommend repairs before placing it in the marketplace.
Besides, you may receive a notification from the city requiring you to make arrangements for repairs. The restoration work’s responsibility may rest on you or the city, depending on the sidewalk and jurisdiction code’s location.
CONCRETE RETAINING WALLS
Retaining walls are crucial in fortifying structures from harm associated with soil identified with soil damage or breakdown. Yet, numerous homeowners are uninformed of exactly how vital these walls are to their property’s general well-being. Retaining walls that are well built and adequately maintained prevent soil damage and breakdown and help avoid soil erosion. Soil damages can put your structures in danger of collapse and any observers in bodily peril, so it’s fundamental to properly maintain retaining walls and appreciate their importance in fortifying your structures and home. To avoid damage to your home and injury to occupants of your home, you should consider hiring a retaining wall contractor. If you are ready to construct one, you should seek professional hands such as Southside Driveway Repair Services to get it done.
CONCRETE PATIOS
Are there noticeable bulging points on your patio? Is there a portion that appears to pull away from home? Instead of a total and costly patio replacement, concrete patio raising may be the best solution.
If your patio leans or is pulling away from the house, Concrete Lifting using a slurry may be the best repair option. Decks are rarely built as robustly as homes. Therefore, concrete raising using a sandy loam-concrete mixture provides an alternative when piers are not a possibility. Typically, concrete patio repair with Align Foundation Repair can be done for less than half the replacement cost. An added benefit is most repairs are done in one day.
Patios are typically leveled evenly at the time of installation. However, years of soil shifting and pressure under the slab can cause the concrete to chip and crack, resulting in protrusions or dips in the pavement. The table can also warp and break apart due to pushing from growing tree roots.

FAQ
Is It Better to Repair or Replace Concrete?
The answer to this question depends on a number of factors, including the severity of the damage and the age of the concrete. In general, minor cracks and chips can be easily repaired with concrete filler or sealant. However, more serious damage, such as large cracks or missing sections, may require partial or complete replacement. If the concrete is showing signs of age, such as discoloration or crumble, it may be best to replace it entirely. Ultimately, the decision of whether to repair or replace concrete should be based on a professional assessment of the damage.
What are Common Problems with Concrete?
While concrete is a durable and long-lasting material, there are a number of common problems that can arise. One issue is efflorescence, which occurs when water seeps into the concrete and then evaporates, leaving behind a white powdery residue. Efflorescence can be unsightly and difficult to remove, but it does not impact the strength or integrity of the concrete. Another common problem is cracks. Cracks can be caused by everything from settlement to extreme weather changes. While small cracks may not be cause for concern, larger cracks can weaken the concrete and allow moisture to seep in, leading to further damage. In some cases, cracking can be prevented by using expansion joints, which provide room for the concrete to expand and contract without breaking.
Do I Need to Prepare for Concrete Services?
Any time you are planning on having concrete work done, it is important to take the necessary steps to prepare for the project. This will ensure that the job is done correctly and that you are happy with the results. One of the most important things to do is to have a clear vision of what you want the end result to look like. This means having a detailed plan and taking measurements so that the contractor has a good understanding of the scope of the project. It is also important that you choose a reputable contractor who has experience with the type of concrete work you need. Once you have found a contractor you feel comfortable with, be sure to ask plenty of questions and get all of the details in writing before work begins. By taking these simple steps, you can help ensure that your concrete project goes smoothly from start to finish.
