Concrete is a durable and versatile material, but over time, it can show signs of wear and damage. At Bracken Paving, serving the Tri-City area in Tennessee and Southwestern Virginia, we offer a range of concrete repair services to address these issues and extend the life of your concrete surfaces. Below are the four most common types of concrete repairs we perform.
4 Most Common Types of Concrete Repairs
4 Most Common Types of Concrete Repairs
Crack Repairs
Cracks in concrete are a common problem caused by a variety of factors, including freeze-thaw cycles, heavy loads, and shrinkage during curing. Left untreated, cracks can allow water to penetrate the surface, leading to further damage and even structural issues. Our team at Bracken Paving uses high-quality sealants and epoxy injections to fill and seal cracks, preventing water infiltration and reinforcing the structural integrity of the concrete.
Spalling Repairs
Spalling, also known as scaling, occurs when the surface of the concrete flakes or peels away, often due to freeze-thaw cycles, deicing chemicals, or poor finishing techniques. Spalling not only affects the appearance of the concrete but can also compromise its structural integrity. At Bracken Paving, we address spalling by removing the damaged surface layer and applying a new layer of concrete or a specialized resurfacing compound.
Joint Repairs
Concrete joints are designed to allow for the expansion and contraction of the material due to temperature changes. However, over time, these joints can become damaged or filled with debris, leading to cracking and uneven surfaces. Proper maintenance of concrete joints is crucial to preventing these issues. Our experts clean and repair joints using flexible sealants that accommodate movement while preventing water and debris from entering the joint.
Surface Resurfacing
Surface resurfacing is an effective solution for concrete that is discolored, worn, or has minor surface imperfections. Instead of replacing the entire concrete slab, resurfacing involves applying a thin layer of a specialized overlay compound to the existing surface. This process not only improves the appearance of the concrete but also adds an extra layer of protection against future wear and damage. Our resurfacing services can rejuvenate old, tired concrete surfaces, making them look new again and extending their lifespan.
