Cracked Concrete

Even though concrete is known for its strength, it’s not immune to damage. Over time, concrete can develop cracks and other damage that affect your home and loved ones.

Not only is cracked concrete unsightly, but it also poses significant safety and structural risks. At Foundation Repair of Western Colorado, we understand how to address these challenges. 

With the most durable concrete lifting methods in Colorado, we’ll make your concrete safe to use again. Learn why your concrete is cracking and what you can do to fix it. 

What Is Cracked Concrete? 

Cracked concrete is characterized by lines, breaks, or splits on the concrete surfaces of your home. This degradation can vary from slight surface fissures to deep splits that jeopardize the concrete’s stability. 

It’s common to find cracks on various concrete structures such as: 

• Sidewalks
• Driveways 
• Porches
• Concrete steps
• Pool decks

Cracking can be accompanied by other issues like: 

• Concrete pitting, flaking, and staining
• Sinking concrete slab

Cracks and associated damage diminish the aesthetic appeal of your property and create potential tripping and safety risks. Addressing these issues promptly is vital to avert additional damage. 

Why Your Home Has Cracked Concrete 

There are multiple factors that may cause cracked concrete. Often, these issues appear simultaneously, so look out for: 

• Soil erosion 
• Heavy rainfall, flooding, or snowmelt 
• Sinking sections of concrete 
• Freeze and thaw cycles 
• Inadequate drainage systems 
• Aggressive tree roots 
• Poor concrete installation 
• Complications during the curing process 
• Ordinary wear over time 

These elements weaken the concrete and can severely threaten your home’s foundation. Movement and settling of the soil underneath the concrete, coupled with external factors and weather changes, can lead to cracks, which can introduce long-term structural and safety challenges if neglected. 

Can You Fix Cracked Concrete? 

Absolutely, repairing cracked concrete is possible. Addressing the problem early is vital, as extensive damage can reduce repair options. 

Resorting to temporary solutions like sealing or conventional methods such as mudjacking won’t rectify the root causes. Over time, the damage will increase, making repairs more intricate and costly. 

A comprehensive approach that tackles the core issues is essential. At Foundation Repair of Western Colorado, we go beyond superficial fixes to guarantee long-term results and future prevention. 

We use the innovative PolyRenewal™ technique to elevate and mend exterior concrete surfaces showing signs of cracking and sinking. For homes with foundational concerns, our specialists might suggest other methods like foundation or slab piers tailored to stabilize and possibly lift sinking slab foundations. 

Every home has unique challenges. Our team will assess your property and devise the perfect long-term strategies to rectify your concrete and foundational issues permanently.
