What is Concrete Patio Repair? 

Concrete patio repair involves revitalizing a damaged concrete patio, often improving or restoring it to its original condition. This process may include sealing cracks, lifting sunken slabs, and ensuring a level surface. 

It’s essential to exercise caution with DIY repair projects or traditional methods, like mudjacking and repouring. These outdated, intrusive, and expensive techniques often prove inefficient in offering lasting support, as they do not tackle the underlying cause of the problem. 

A more advanced strategy for tackling concrete patio issues, like sinking and cracking, involves strengthening the slabs and the underlying soil. BQ Basements & Concrete utilizes its exclusive PolyRenewal™ concrete lifting system, specifically designed to address challenges linked to soil instability and oversaturation. 

This approach is an excellent standalone method for lifting concrete patios to their correct level, and it forms a crucial part of our all-encompassing whole-home strategies. Choosing concrete lifting not only rejuvenates the patio but also bolsters the overall stability of the home’s structure. 

Signs Your Concrete Patio Needs Repair 

When you notice visible signs of wear, damage, or irregularities on your concrete patio, it’s an indication that repairs may be necessary. Common indicators include: 

• Noticeable concrete cracks spreading across the patio 
• Sinking slabs or displaying evident unevenness 
• Water pooling on the concrete’s surface during rainfall 
• The patio becoming detached from adjacent structures 
• Concrete pitting, flaking, or staining
• Concrete damage on driveways, sidewalks, and steps

Identifying and addressing concrete damage early saves you time and money. 

Is Concrete Patio Repair Necessary? 

Yes, prompt attention to concrete patio repairs is imperative. Postponing necessary fixes leads to more extensive and costly repairs in the future and may limit available solutions. Addressing the issue extends the patio’s lifespan and upholds the safety and visual appeal of your home. 

We strongly discourage opting for “quick fixes” or relying on previously trusted methods like mudjacking or repouring. Your home deserves comprehensive protection. As a crucial component of BQ Basements & Concrete’s holistic home solution, timely patio repairs may prevent further foundation settlement.
