Many homeowners notice problems in various concrete surfaces. This isn’t unusual. If concrete is older, or hasn’t been well maintained, several problems can occur. If these problems aren’t fixed right away, they can cause further damage in the future. It’s a good idea to inspect your property for any signs of damage or degradation.
- The Garage : One of the most common problems in garage floors is cracking. This is the same for concrete driveways and walkways. You should inspect any cracks that appear. If the crack is small, it can be filled easily. Larger cracks can still be fixed but may require the help of a decorative concrete contractor.
- Concrete Patios : There are several things that can cause your concrete patio to crack, including extreme weather temperatures. The concrete may also begin to sink into the ground, causing the slab to break apart. This can be solved by the method of slab-jacking, which can be a permanent solution against sinkage.
- The Pool Deck : Cracks in your pool deck can be caused by extreme heat or freezing temperatures. If water gets into the cracks, they can become much bigger, and also become a breeding ground for bacteria. Even if cracks look small, it’s a good idea to call a contractor. Pool deck problems can be very costly if not repaired properly.
