Concrete Repair & Restoration

When Repair Makes More Sense Than Replacement

Not every concrete problem requires tearing out and replacing the entire surface. Many issues can be repaired effectively, saving you significant money while extending the life of your existing concrete by years or even decades.

Cracks, minor settling, surface damage, and cosmetic issues often respond well to repair techniques. If the underlying base is still solid and the damage hasn't affected the structural integrity, repair is usually your best option. We evaluate your concrete honestly and recommend repair when it makes sense, replacement when necessary.

We repair driveways, patios, walkways, and other concrete surfaces throughout Alhambra. Whether you have one troublesome crack or multiple issues affecting your property, we have the expertise and equipment to restore your concrete properly.

Common Concrete Problems We Fix

Concrete develops problems for various reasons, from poor initial installation to natural settling and age. Here are the most common issues we address.

Repair Services We Provide:

• •Crack repair using epoxy injection or routing and sealing
• •Concrete leveling to raise sunken slabs and eliminate trip hazards
• •Surface resurfacing to cover stains, pitting, and worn finishes
• •Spalling repair where the surface has flaked or chipped away
• •Joint repair and replacement for expansion and control joints
• •Scaling and discoloration treatment
• •Partial slab replacement for severely damaged sections
• •Sealing and protection to prevent future damage

Each repair method addresses specific problems. Cracks get treated differently than sunken sections. Surface damage requires different solutions than structural issues. We diagnose the problem correctly and use the right repair technique to fix it permanently. If you're also considering replacing your driveway but want to see if repair is possible first, we'll give you an honest assessment.

Concrete Leveling and Lifting

Sunken concrete is a common problem that creates trip hazards and drainage issues. When soil beneath the concrete settles or washes away, the slab drops and becomes uneven with adjacent sections. This is especially common around driveways, walkways, and patio edges.

We use modern leveling techniques to raise sunken concrete back to its proper height. This process involves injecting material beneath the slab to fill voids and lift the concrete. It's faster and more affordable than replacement, and you can use the surface within hours instead of waiting days for new concrete to cure.

Leveling works great for sidewalks with trip hazards, driveway approaches that have settled, and patio sections that slope toward your house instead of away. If your concrete is structurally sound but just not level anymore, this is often the perfect solution.

Preventive Maintenance and Protection

The best time to protect your concrete is before problems develop. Regular sealing protects against moisture penetration, freeze-thaw damage, staining, and surface wear. A quality sealer applied every few years significantly extends concrete life.

We also address minor issues before they become major problems. Small cracks that get sealed early don't grow into structural concerns. Surface cleaning and light repairs keep your concrete looking good and functioning properly. If you've recently had new concrete installed or want to protect what you have, we offer maintenance services that save money in the long run by preventing expensive repairs later.
