Don't let your concrete damage become a nightmare!

Let’s face it; we live in a concrete jungle. We greatly value the daily usage of our concrete driveway, concrete sidewalk, and other concrete surfaces such as patios, pools, and decks. This means we also get to deal with the associated concrete damage that occurs as a result of seasonal temperature fluctuations, fire, bacterial corrosion, calcium leaching, and physical, as well as chemical damage.

Concrete surface repair is often required after floods and other drastic water situations. Concrete can soak up standing water like a sponge. The water then seeps into the cracks, fills in the pores, and causes corrosion within the concrete surface. The rebar then starts to rust and weaken. The nature of this type of concrete damage will eventually cause the failure of the concrete structure over time if concrete surface repair and maintenance are ignored or improperly finished.

A concrete sidewalk or concrete driveway will often become cracked and damaged over time after enduring weather changes and heavy usage. Concrete patios and decks also lose much of their visual appeal as the concrete damage becomes more visible. There are a host of issues that can cause distress to these types of concrete surfaces, including subgrade that is improperly compacted, or bad overall placement procedures.

Corpus Christi Concrete can help with any concrete surface is experiencing any cracking, spalling or scaling. In these scenarios, the best solution is to get it resurfaced with a concrete overlay. You can also use concrete engraving for minor cracks or small discolorations.

Before starting any concrete repair project, you must first determine the exact cause of the damage. This is the only way to ensure that you can find the best solution for the repair. Improperly installed concrete surfaces are not structurally sound and can cost much more than a repair if you end up having to rip out the entire job and start over.

Your concrete surface can also experience discoloration due to oil stains, weathering or prolonged exposure to sunlight. Improper mix proportioning in the application of the surface color also causes many issues to arise throughout the continued use of the surface.

It is very important to choose an experienced concrete repair contractor who will get the job done exactly the way it needs to be done. A concrete contractor in Corpus Christi such as the Corpus Christi Concrete Pros will ensure that your concrete repair gets completed in a professional manner with top quality results.
