Concrete Repair & Replacement

When to Repair and When to Replace

Not every crack or chip means you need to tear out your entire driveway or patio. Sometimes a targeted repair saves you thousands compared to full replacement. Other times, trying to patch up old concrete just delays the inevitable and wastes your money. We provide honest assessments about which approach makes the most sense for your situation.

We handle both concrete repair and replacement in Diamond Bar for driveways, patios, walkways, and other surfaces. If your concrete has minor cracks, small chips, or surface damage, repair might be all you need. If you are dealing with major settling, widespread cracking, or surfaces that are more than 20 to 30 years old, replacement usually makes more financial sense in the long run.

Common Concrete Problems We Fix

Here are the concrete issues we see most often in Diamond Bar and how we address them.

• •Cracks: Small cracks can be filled and sealed. Wide or growing cracks usually indicate bigger problems that need replacement.
• •Settling and Sinking: When sections drop or become uneven, we can sometimes lift them with slabjacking or mudjacking. Severe settling requires replacement.
• •Surface Spalling: Flaking or pitting on the surface happens from freeze-thaw cycles or poor finishing. Light spalling can be resurfaced. Deep damage needs replacement.
• •Trip Hazards: Uneven surfaces where sections have shifted create dangerous walking conditions. We level or replace these sections for safety.
• •Drainage Problems: Improper slope causes water to pool on your concrete, leading to damage. This usually requires regrading and replacement to fix properly.

Our Repair and Replacement Process

Assessment

We inspect your concrete to understand what is causing the damage. Is it soil settlement, tree roots, improper installation, or just age? Understanding the cause helps us recommend the right fix and prevent the same problem from happening again.

Repair Options

For minor issues, we can fill cracks, resurface worn areas, or lift sunken sections. These repairs work well when the underlying structure is still sound. We use quality materials that bond properly with existing concrete so repairs last.

Replacement When Needed

When replacement makes more sense, we remove the damaged concrete and address whatever caused the problem. This might mean improving drainage, removing tree roots, or compacting the soil better. Then we install new concrete using the same quality methods we use for all our driveway and patio projects. The result is concrete that will last another 30 years.
