Concrete Repair Process
When you call us about a concrete repair need, we'll schedule a site visit and thorough assessment. We determine the full extent of the damage and develop a detailed repair plan. Our process includes:
Removal of damaged sections
We use jackhammers, chipping tools, or saws to remove loose, cracked, or deteriorated concrete. This ensures a solid base for the repair.
Surface preparation
Once damaged concrete is removed, we clean and roughen the area to prepare for new material. Proper surface prep helps maximize adhesion.
Installation of reinforcement materials
We secure rebar, wire mesh, or fiber reinforcement as needed before pouring to add strength and durability to the repair.
Pouring new concrete
We meticulously pour and screed fresh concrete mix into the repair area, taking care to consolidate it fully within the formwork.
Finishing to match the existing surface
As the new concrete cures, we ensure the color, texture, and finish match the surrounding area through techniques like stamping or staining.
Sealing/protecting repaired areas
The final step is applying a protective sealant to the repaired section to prevent moisture intrusion and extend the life of the concrete.
We precisely match color, texture, and finish for seamless integration into the surrounding concrete.
