If you own a home, you’ll face issues throughout your ownership. Whether it’s problems with the roof after a hailstorm, your garage door reaching the end of life, or your driveway starting to crack, there’s a variety of issues to take care of being aware of when you own a home or property. Let’s look at three common concrete issues you’ll face and what to do about them.
3 Common Concrete Problems That Homeowners Need to Tackle
Cracked Concrete
Cracked concrete is one of the most common issues homeowners will confront. Cracked concrete is common after years of wear and tear break down the concrete. Concrete will sink, become uneven, and eventually crack due to the stress. Cracked concrete can be filled or replaced by a concrete company when needed. If the concrete is old, replacing areas of it may be the better solutions than just filling in the cracks.
Sinking Concrete
Sinking concrete is another common issue homeowners will face. Over time, the wear and tear of being driven and walked on every day will force concrete to begin sinking into the sediment layers beneath it, especially when parked cars and other heavy objects sit on the concrete for long periods of time. Mudjacking, or concrete leveling can raise the concrete to the proper and even level.
Broken Concrete
Broken concrete can occur because of either of the above issues or through impact. If you drop something heavy on concrete, crash into it, or cause a type of collision, you can break concrete. Eventually, these breaks can cause cracks, gaps, and holes, and eventually lead to uneven concrete. A concrete company can come out, estimate the type of repair and costs associated with it.
