Damaged and broken concrete can instantly drop the curb value of your home or commercial establishment while also serving to be a potential danger in any setting due to uneven surfaces and sharp or jagged edges. Particularly if this is bad, concrete repairs may be necessary to avoid injury or help with property value or customer traffic.
What Causes Cracks
The most important thing to consider when making any repair is finding the culprit, what caused the damage so future preventative measures can be taken. Often it is due to weathering or heavy traffic, be this foot traffic or repeated collisions with heavy or damaging objects being dragged or dropped over the area. This commonly leads to cracks forming (these can be deep or shallow, both require different treatment), or uneven concrete in different places. Oftentimes, an appropriately thick epoxy coating or other protective sealant applied to a shot blasted surface for better strength and adhesion. Aside from these, slightly rarer issues include frost heave for which uneven, sunken concrete or basement foundation cracking are usually symptoms.
Regarding cracks, as mentioned earlier, there are 2 main types: deep cracks and small cracks. It’ll come as no surprise to you (probably) that the difference is simply deep refers to the big deep ones and small references the small shallow ones.

Crack Repair
Small crack repairs are the simpler of the two to repair. As long as it is cleaned well and any loose debris is removed, it should be pretty straight forward to repair much like a chip. With deep ruptures, a more intensive clean may suffice however they could also be a symptom of a much bigger issue. Objects trapped in the concrete from a lack of preparation before laying can lead to bigger breaks, as can unlevel surfaces the concrete was laid onto originally. When this happens, the concrete drops a little on one side of the fissure and thus a little step no one ever sees but everyone trips on is born. In this situation it may be necessary to tear up the surface and re-lay it with the issues taken care of. Sounds like a lot right? We thought that too but the longer we’ve been in this industry, the more we see how common this procedure is and, as a result, how comparatively fast and cheap it has become over time.
With that continued development in the technology comes human development of techniques as we get more familiar with the process. Keep that up for a few decades, as we have, and tearing up concrete to fix it this way becomes just another day on the job.
Resurfacing
If you have a surface that is, instead, too full of cracks or damaged, you may be in need of some concrete resurfacing. Concrete Cucamonga contractors are able to offer pool resurfacing, countertop resurfacing, driveway resurfacing and floor resurfacing in your home. Our concrete resurfacing team can also perform retail resurfacing, court resurfacing and industrial resurfacing work. While it can be a little more costly up front, concrete resurfacing is a more permanent solution than many other repair options. By adding a fresh layer, it’s almost like having your floor, countertop or other surface put in brand new again. With the proper levelling during pretreatment, the resurfaced concrete can sit at the exact same height and level as the old surface was.
The Repair Process
The most common type of damage is cracks or pieces that have chipped off. Thankfully all of these are relatively straight forward. To repair concrete chips, it's important to first take off all the remaining damaged or crumbling concrete. This can be done with a small sledge hammer and/or chisel. It’s super important to ensure this is done perfectly as any bad pieces not removed can be broken off or weakened more by the filling agent. As a result, brand new breaks can appear while the fillings setting and even if this doesn’t happen, the weakened concrete in that area can leave the newly fixed surface more susceptible to breaking again which just means more money and more potential dangers for you, your family and friends.
Next, the repairman must remove any unwanted aggregate from the target area. A form should then be secured against the side of the chip if it is on an edge such as a step. Its imperative this is levelled perfectly to work as a guide when levelling the concrete later on and then in finishing it to seamlessly blend into the existing structure the breakage came from.installation inside with our home stairs collection and out in the pool where concrete stairs can often make for the best pool steps for all the same reasons that make concrete decks so superior.

One of the most popular choices of concrete resurfacing is pool resurfacing, more specifically pool deck resurfacing. If you wish for a whole new pool deck, our company can provide that for you too. If not, and you simply need a pool resurfacing job, we can provide you with the very best service in Rancho Cucamonga California. First, we sand blast or shot blast the damaged area (depending on what is needed for application). Following this we level, prepare and lay in that order. Next we shape the pool deck to remove potentially hazardous sharp edges. Sometimes, for stronger adhesion of the sealant or epoxy that will finish the deck if it's wanted, the deck will be shot blasted before sealed and finished. If you have a look you want for your deck, our decorative concrete team can come and take care of your needs during the pool resurfacing process before the final sealant layer is poured.
