Professional Concrete Repair in Snellville

Watch for cracks that widen over time, slabs that have sunk or tilted, a surface that flakes or crumbles, and gaps at joints that let water in. Hairline cracks from drying are common and rarely affect strength, but movement or flaking is worth checking. Worn asphalt is handled under asphalt repair.

Concrete shrinks as it dries and moves with moisture and temperature, so cracks form where that movement is not allowed for. Missing joints, poor ground preparation, and too little curing make cracking more likely, and no concrete is entirely crack-free. New concrete patios have joints that guide where cracking happens.

The extent of the damage matters most, along with how the surface is prepared. One cost guide, Bob Vila, lists concrete resurfacing at about $3 to $9 per square foot nationally. Cracks that are still moving have to be fixed before resurfacing, which adds to the cost. Get a free estimate for your repair.

Cracked concrete can be repaired when the slab underneath is still sound. A slab should be evaluated before an overlay is chosen, and cracks that are still growing need to be stabilized first or they show through the new surface. A slab that fails the evaluation may need replacing with a new concrete slab or concrete driveway.

Yes, roots grow in the loose soil under driveways and can lift concrete four inches or more, according to the Georgia Urban Forest Council. Cutting roots is seldom a lasting fix.

New concrete is generally kept damp for at least three days and up to a week so it can cure, and it reaches its design strength at about 28 days. How soon the repair can be used depends on the repair, the mix, and the weather.
