Concrete Repair Services
At Regional Foundation, we specialize in expert concrete repair. Our services are
crafted to restore and rejuvenate your concrete surfaces. Damages like cracks and
spalling can undermine your property's integrity and appearance. Our skilled team
addresses these issues with precision and care, ensuring your concrete areas remain
safe and visually appealing.
Key Issues Necessitating Concrete Repair
While there are certainly many reasons that people could have for wanting their
concrete repaired, two of the most common concrete-related issues are cracks and
spalling.
Here's how we approach each of those problems.
Cracks
Concrete cracks come in various forms, such as hairline cracks, shrinkage cracks, and
structural cracks. While hairline and shrinkage cracks are typically superficial and
present minimal risk, structural cracks can signify more serious underlying problems.
Therefore, it's crucial to assess the type and severity of cracks to determine the
appropriate repair measures.
Weather fluctuations often cause concrete to expand and contract, leading to cracks.
Extreme temperature changes are frequently responsible for this phenomenon.
Additionally, ground movement can cause shifts in the underlying soil, creating stress on
the concrete and resulting in cracks. Heavy loads from vehicles or machinery can also
strain the concrete, leading to cracking.
Concrete crack repair involves advanced techniques to seal and mend cracks, thereby
preventing further damage. This approach is especially vital for high-traffic areas like
driveways and sidewalks.
Spalling
Spalling, also known as surface flaking, compromises the appearance and durability of
concrete surfaces. This issue can present itself in various forms and levels of severity,
ranging from minor surface cracks to substantial structural damage.
Repeated freeze-thaw cycles can cause the surface layer of concrete to flake off.
Additionally, improper installation techniques can result in a weak surface prone to
spalling. The use of substandard materials in concrete mixes also contributes to a less
durable surface, making it more susceptible to damage.
Repairing spalling concrete involves restoring its smooth finish and strength, thereby
enhancing its durability and appearance. Our team specializes in addressing these
issues to ensure a long-lasting and visually appealing surface.
Why Choose Concrete Repair?
Cost-Effective: Repairing damaged concrete is often more affordable than replacing
entire sections. Removing old concrete and installing new slabs can be much more
expensive. Opting for repair addresses specific problem areas without the high costs of
a complete overhaul. This allows property owners to use their budgets more efficiently
while achieving excellent results.
Time-Saving: Repairs can be completed faster, minimizing disruption to your daily
activities. Replacing large sections of concrete often requires extensive preparation,
demolition, and curing time, leading to prolonged interruptions. Concrete repair can be
executed swiftly, allowing you to return to your routine with minimal delays. This is
especially beneficial for businesses and homeowners who cannot afford extended
downtime.
Sustainability: Repairing rather than replacing concrete reduces waste and requires
fewer resources, making it an environmentally friendly option. Repairing prevents old
materials from ending up in landfills, significantly reducing environmental impact.
Additionally, fewer raw materials are used in repairs compared to full replacement,
promoting sustainable practices in construction and property maintenance.
Improved Durability: Our state-of-the-art materials and methods ensure long-lasting
repairs that enhance your property's safety and aesthetics. Advanced techniques and
high-quality products restore the structural integrity of your concrete, making it more
resilient to future damage. These improvements not only prolong the lifespan of your
concrete but also enhance its appearance, adding value to your property.
Versatility: Concrete repair solutions can address a wide range of issues, from minor
cracks to significant structural concerns. This versatility means there is likely a repair
option available for any extent of damage. Whether it's a simple surface repair or
complex structural reinforcement, concrete repair professionals can provide customized
solutions to meet your needs.
Concrete Replacement Services
Our Concrete Replacement Service is designed to completely renew your space by
removing the old, damaged concrete and replacing it with a fresh, new installation.
Perfect for homeowners, property managers, and commercial businesses, this service
offers a clean slate for your concrete needs.
Key Issues Necessitating Concrete Repair
Concrete repair may be needed due to surface imperfections, structural problems, wear
and tear, harsh weather, heavy usage, poor installation, ground movement, or tree
roots. Addressing these issues promptly is crucial to prevent costly damage.
Cracks and Uneven Surfaces
Concrete surfaces can face a variety of common issues that necessitate their
replacement. One major problem is the development of cracks and uneven surfaces,
which create tripping hazards, especially in high-traffic areas like driveways, walkways,
and commercial properties. Concrete replacement solves this by providing a new, even
surface, thereby enhancing safety.
Poor Drainage
Another frequent issue is poor drainage, often caused by the initial concrete settling
unevenly or simply wearing out over time. This can lead to water pooling, which further
damages the concrete and surrounding areas. Replacing the old concrete with a new,
well-designed surface improves functionality, including better drainage and easier
maintenance, thus preventing long-term issues.
Aesthetic Appeal
Aesthetically, old and deteriorated concrete can severely diminish a property's visual
appeal. Cracks, stains, and discoloration make spaces look neglected. Fresh concrete
not only rejuvenates the appearance but also boosts curb appeal and property value.
Modern concrete mixes and finishes also offer a variety of design options, allowing for
customization to match or enhance the property's existing style.
Structural Integrity
Structural integrity is another critical concern. Over time, concrete can weaken due to
heavy usage or harsh weather conditions, leading to a need for frequent repairs.
Replacement ensures a strong, durable foundation that stands up to these challenges,
reducing the need for ongoing repairs and replacements.
Why Choose Concrete Replacement?
Long-lasting Benefits and Cost-effectiveness: Concrete replacement often
surpasses other repair and maintenance options due to its long-lasting benefits and
overall cost-effectiveness. Unlike patching or resurfacing, which can require frequent
touch-ups and might not provide a uniform appearance, concrete replacement ensures
a seamless, durable surface that stands the test of time. With replacement, you avoid
the recurring expenses and temporary fixes associated with less permanent solutions.
Durability Compared to Other Materials: Moreover, alternative materials like asphalt
or pavers may not offer the same level of durability and resilience as concrete. Asphalt,
for instance, tends to deteriorate quickly under heavy loads and extreme weather
conditions, necessitating more frequent repairs. Pavers, while aesthetically pleasing,
can shift and become uneven over time, creating potential tripping hazards and
requiring continual maintenance.
Customization and Design Flexibility: In addition, concrete replacement allows for
greater customization and design flexibility. Modern concrete technologies enable a
variety of finishes, colors, and patterns that can be tailored to complement any
architectural style or landscape design. This level of personalization is often not
achievable with other materials, making concrete a preferred choice for those looking to
enhance their property's aesthetic appeal along with its functionality.
Concrete Leveling Service
Concrete leveling, also known as concrete lifting or mudjacking, is a process that
renews the look and feel of sunken or uneven concrete surfaces without the need for
costly replacements. Instead of tearing out and replacing slabs, this method raises them
back to their original, level position. This service is an excellent choice for homeowners,
property managers, and commercial businesses looking to maintain the aesthetics and
safety of their properties.
Key Issues Necessitating Concrete Leveling
Over time, several issues can necessitate the need for concrete leveling to maintain
safe and visually appealing surfaces. Factors such as soil erosion, improper
compaction, tree root growth, and exposure to water can cause concrete slabs to settle
unevenly. Addressing these issues promptly through concrete leveling helps prevent
further damage and costly repairs.
Uneven Walkways and Driveways
Unlevel concrete can pose tripping hazards and diminish curb appeal. Concrete leveling
addresses these issues by lifting the slabs to create a smooth, even surface.
Sunken Patios and Pool Decks
Patios and pool decks can sink over time due to soil erosion or compaction. Concrete
leveling lifts these areas back to their original position, ensuring a safe and attractive
outdoor space.
Foundation Settling
Structures can settle over time, causing cracks and uneven surfaces. Concrete leveling
can stabilize these areas, preventing further damage and costly repairs.
How Polyurethane Lifting Solves Common Problems
Polyurethane lifting is a modern technique for concrete leveling. It involves injecting a
high-density foam under the concrete slab, which expands, lifting the slab back to its
original position. This technique is quick, minimally invasive, and highly effective.
● Durability: The polyurethane foam used is incredibly durable, providing
long-lasting repairs that resist future settling.
● Quick Installation: The process is fast, often completed within a few hours,
making it an ideal solution for busy homeowners and businesses.
● Minimal Disruption: Since the injection holes are small and the foam cures
quickly, there's minimal disruption to the surrounding area, allowing normal
activities to resume almost immediately.
Why Choose Concrete Lifting?
Concrete lifting offers several advantages over traditional repair methods:
Cost-Effective: Concrete leveling is significantly cheaper than tearing out and replacing
concrete slabs. It provides a high-quality repair at a fraction of the cost.
Sustainable: This method reuses the existing concrete, reducing the environmental
impact associated with manufacturing and transporting new materials.
Long-Lasting Results: The materials used in concrete lifting, especially polyurethane
foam, are designed to withstand the elements, offering a lasting solution that prevents
future issues.
Aesthetic Appeal: Concrete lifting enhances the appearance of your property by
restoring the original level of concrete surfaces, making it look well-maintained and
inviting.
For homeowners, property managers, and commercial businesses looking for a reliable,
cost-effective solution to sunken or uneven concrete, concrete leveling is the ideal
choice. Utilize our expert concrete leveling service to ensure your surfaces are safe,
attractive, and long-lasting.
Concrete Resurfacing Services
Concrete resurfacing is a process that applies a new layer of concrete over existing
surfaces to restore their appearance and functionality. It's an ideal solution for
rejuvenating worn-out or damaged concrete without needing a complete replacement.
Whether it's driveways, patios, or walkways, resurfacing provides a fresh, durable finish
that enhances the look and lifespan of your concrete structures.
Common Issues Leading to Concrete Resurfacing
Concrete resurfacing effectively addresses common issues like cracks, spalling,
discoloration, and surface imperfections. It enhances aesthetics, extends concrete life,
and improves safety and functionality, making it a cost-effective solution.
Cracking
One of the most prevalent issues that necessitate concrete resurfacing is cracking.
Cracks can develop due to a variety of factors, including temperature fluctuations,
freeze-thaw cycles, and structural settling. These cracks not only detract from the
appearance of the concrete surface but can also compromise its structural integrity.
Addressing these cracks through resurfacing helps restore both the aesthetics and
functionality of the concrete.
Spalling
Spalling is another common problem that leads to the need for concrete resurfacing.
This condition occurs when the surface layer of the concrete begins to chip, flake, or
peel away, often due to freeze-thaw damage, de-icing salts, or the natural aging of the
material. Spalled concrete can become an eyesore and create a hazardous surface.
Resurfacing effectively covers these imperfections, providing a smooth, attractive finish.
Staining
Staining or discoloration is a significant issue that can affect the visual appeal of
concrete surfaces. Stains can result from various sources, such as oil spills, rust, mold,
and other environmental factors. While stains do not typically affect concrete's structural
performance, they can severely impact its look. Concrete resurfacing allows for a clean,
uniform appearance by applying a new layer over the stained surface.
Pitting
Pitting often occurs in high-traffic areas where the surface of the concrete has been
worn down over time, leaving small, shallow holes. These imperfections can collect
water and debris and even become tripping hazards. By resurfacing these pitted areas,
the concrete regains a smoother and safer surface, improving both its functionality and
appearance.
Uneven Surfaces
Uneven concrete surfaces can result from improper installation, soil erosion, or other
underlying issues. Not only are they unattractive, but they can also create safety risks.
Concrete resurfacing is an efficient way to level out these inconsistencies, providing a
stable and visually appealing surface that is safer for use.
Reasons for Choosing Concrete Resurfacing
Concrete resurfacing offers a variety of compelling reasons for customers to consider it
as a solution to their concrete problems:
Cost-Effectiveness: Compared to full concrete replacement, resurfacing is a more
affordable option that can achieve similar aesthetic and functional results. This makes it
an attractive choice for budget-conscious homeowners and businesses.
Aesthetic Appeal: Resurfacing can dramatically improve the look of old or damaged
concrete surfaces. With various finishes, colors, and patterns available, customers can
achieve a customized, fresh appearance that enhances the overall visual appeal of their
property.
Increased Safety: Concrete resurfacing can improve the safety of walkways,
driveways, and other concrete areas by addressing issues such as pitting, spalling, and
uneven surfaces. This can help prevent accidents and injuries caused by tripping or
slipping.
Durability: Thanks to modern materials and techniques used in the resurfacing
process, a resurfaced concrete surface can be more resilient and better protected
against future wear and tear. This leads to a longer-lasting surface that can withstand
harsh weather conditions and heavy usage.
Quick and Efficient Process: Resurfacing is generally quicker to complete than fully
replacing concrete, causing less disruption to daily activities. This efficiency can be
particularly beneficial for commercial properties that need to minimize downtime.
Eco-Friendly: Resurfacing an existing concrete surface reduces the need for new
materials and minimizes waste, making it an environmentally responsible choice. It also
lowers the carbon footprint associated with the demolition and disposal of old concrete.
Enhanced Property Value: Investing in concrete resurfacing can increase a property's
market value by improving its curb appeal and structural integrity. This makes it a
worthwhile consideration for homeowners looking to sell or rent their property in the
future.

Benefits of Flatwork and New Installation
When considering options for paving or surfacing, there are several compelling reasons
to choose flatwork over other materials. Its durability, customization options, and
professional installation make it a standout choice for many projects.
Long-Term Cost-Effectiveness: While repairs might seem like a cheaper short-term
solution, they can add up over time as issues reoccur. Installing new concrete flatwork
ensures a longer-lasting solution that requires less frequent maintenance, ultimately
saving you money in the long run.
Enhanced Aesthetics: New concrete flatwork offers a clean, fresh look that can
significantly enhance your property's curb appeal. Repairs, on the other hand, can
sometimes be visibly noticeable, detracting from the overall appearance.
Structural Integrity: Over time, repaired surfaces can lose their structural integrity,
leading to more frequent issues and potential safety hazards. A new concrete flatwork
installation provides a solid and stable surface that can handle heavy loads and high
traffic.
Increased Property Value: A well-installed concrete surface can increase the value of
your property. Prospective buyers and tenants are more likely to be attracted to a
property with new, high-quality concrete surfaces rather than those with patched-up
repairs.
Advanced Customization: When installing new concrete flatwork, you have the
opportunity to incorporate modern design elements and technologies that may not be
possible with repairs. This can include decorative finishes, embedded lighting, or
integrated drainage solutions that enhance both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
