Top 5 Signs Your Concrete Needs Professional Repair

Concrete is tough, durable, and designed to withstand the test of time. However, like anything else, it requires some TLC to maintain its integrity. At CMC Solutions, we believe in delivering lasting value, and part of that is knowing when to call in the experts. Here are the top five signs your concrete needs professional repair.

1. Cracks, Cracks, and More Cracks!

Let’s start with the obvious: cracks. While some hairline cracks are normal, larger ones can indicate underlying issues. If you notice cracks wider than a quarter-inch or those that seem to be growing, it’s time to give us a call. We specialize in residential joint sealing and can address these issues before they turn into bigger problems.

2. Sunken Areas

Have you noticed sections of your driveway or patio sinking below their original level? Sunken concrete can create not only an eyesore but also a safety hazard, making trips and falls more likely. At CMC Solutions, we specialize in targeted repairs that allow us to replace specific sunken sections without tearing up the entire surface. Our team will assess the underlying causes and implement effective solutions, ensuring your concrete is both safe and visually appealing. 

3. Puddling Water

If you’re noticing water pooling in certain areas of your driveway or patio, it’s a sign of poor drainage. Standing water can lead to further damage, including cracks and structural integrity issues. Our penetrating sealants and joint sealing services are designed to tackle these drainage problems head-on, keeping your concrete in top shape.

4. Faded or Stained Surfaces

Is your once vibrant patio now looking dull and lifeless? Faded colors and unsightly stains can detract from the overall appearance of your property. While this may seem cosmetic, it can indicate a breakdown of the concrete surface. We offer decorative patio services that can revitalize your outdoor spaces, bringing them back to life!

5. Flaking or Scaling

If you notice your concrete surfaces flaking or scaling, it’s a sign that the top layer is deteriorating, often due to exposure to moisture or harsh weather conditions. This can compromise the strength of the concrete and should be addressed promptly. At CMC Solutions, our experts can provide a thorough assessment and recommend the best course of action to restore your surfaces.
