Concrete patio Repair
If your patio is in need of repairs, you should be aware of the different types of concrete damage that require different type of repair. Types of concrete damage include cracked, spalled, or cracked-and-spalled concrete. While a small repair may not seem like a big deal, it may become an issue when it becomes a tripping hazard for kids or the elderly. Here are the benefits of concrete patio repair. These repairs are not code-mandated, so you can do them yourself or hire a professional.
Maintenance of a concrete patio is simple, much less than that of a wood deck. Basic maintenance for concrete may include sweeping and hose-rinsing, while you need to have the surface sealed every two or three years. This makes it easier to spot cracks and other problems and is highly durable. Concrete patio repair also minimizes the risk of fire spread, since it is not susceptible to rot, warping, or cracking.
Another method for fixing cracked concrete is mudjacking, which is the traditional method for lifting a slab by drilling multiple holes in it. The holes are filled with a cement grout, sometimes called cement slurry, and the concrete is gradually lifted. Mudjacking is often the cheapest and most effective solution, but it's messy and only lasts for about 8 or 10 years. Mudjacking also requires a few days of downtime.
Regardless of the method used to repair a concrete surface, regular maintenance will always be necessary to keep it looking good. Damaged concrete outside the home is not only unsightly, but it is also dangerous if you're not careful. Fortunately, concrete repair can be a safer, more affordable alternative to replacing damaged concrete. Besides being a cost-effective and safer solution, it also allows you to enjoy your outdoor space once again.

Concrete Driveway Repair
If you're considering selling your house, there are many benefits of Concrete Driveway repair. Not only will your driveway look brand-new, it will add curb appeal to your property. If your driveway looks cracked or broken, you might even want to consider concrete resurfacing. Not only will your driveway look newer, but you'll also be able to sell your property for a higher price. Listed below are some benefits of Concrete Driveway repair.
Preventative Maintenance. Concrete is porous, and it needs periodic maintenance to remain durable. To keep your driveway looking great, avoid letting water linger underneath it. Avoid planting trees on either side of your driveway to prevent shifting soil beneath it. In some cases, pruning existing plants will help prevent soil shifting. Keeping the area clean will also improve curb appeal. The concrete surface retains an extra layer of protection that makes it resistant to chemicals and other harmful objects.
Durability. If you've had your driveway repaired or replaced in the past, you'll likely have to worry about how it will last for decades. Concrete is a sturdy material that is not flexible, so it can withstand a lot of weight and withstand heavy vehicle traffic. However, concrete driveways require a certified concrete contractor to ensure that they are durable enough to withstand heavy vehicles. For a new driveway, you'll want to consider hiring a concrete contractor with extensive experience.
