Concrete Repair & Replacement
Fix cracked, sunken, or damaged concrete surfaces before they get worse
Damaged concrete does not fix itself. Cracks spread, uneven surfaces get worse, and small problems turn into expensive replacements if you wait too long. Whether you have a cracked driveway, sunken patio, or deteriorating walkway, addressing the issue now saves you money and prevents safety hazards. At CoastWorks Hempstead Concrete, we provide expert concrete repair and replacement services that restore your surfaces and extend their lifespan.
Common Concrete Problems We Fix
Concrete problems develop for various reasons, from poor initial installation to ground settlement to normal wear over time. Here are the most common issues we see in Hempstead and Nassau County:
- •Cracking: Fine hairline cracks or wide structural cracks that allow water infiltration
- •Settling and sinking: Uneven slabs caused by soil erosion or poor compaction
- •Spalling and flaking: Surface deterioration where the top layer peels away
- •Pitting and scaling: Small holes and rough patches from freeze-thaw damage
- •Drainage problems: Water pooling on surfaces that should drain properly
- •Old age: Concrete that has simply reached the end of its useful life
Repair or Replace: How We Help You Decide
Not every damaged concrete surface needs complete replacement. In many cases, repairs can extend the life of your existing concrete at a fraction of the cost. We provide honest assessments to help you make the right decision.
When Repair Makes Sense
Repair is usually the best option when damage is limited to specific areas and the overall structure is sound. We can fill cracks, level sunken sections with mudjacking or polyurethane foam injection, resurface spalled areas, and patch isolated damage. Repairs work well when most of your concrete is in good condition and the problems are caught early.
When Replacement Is Necessary
Complete replacement becomes necessary when damage is widespread, the base has failed, or the concrete has deteriorated beyond effective repair. If your driveway or patio has multiple large cracks, severe settling, or extensive surface damage, replacement usually makes more financial sense than trying to patch numerous problems. We can remove your old concrete and install a new surface that will serve you for decades.
Our Repair and Replacement Services
We offer comprehensive solutions for all types of concrete problems:
Crack Repair
We clean out cracks and fill them with specialized repair materials designed to prevent further spreading. For structural cracks, we may add reinforcement to stabilize the concrete.
Slab Leveling
We lift and level sunken concrete slabs using proven techniques. This eliminates trip hazards and improves drainage without the cost of complete replacement.
Resurfacing
For surfaces with cosmetic damage but solid structure, we can apply a new concrete overlay that restores appearance and adds years of life. This works well for driveways and patios with surface wear.
Partial Replacement
When damage is confined to specific sections, we can cut out and replace just the affected areas. This costs less than full replacement while giving you a like-new result.
Complete Replacement
For extensively damaged surfaces, we remove the old concrete and install a completely new surface. This gives you a fresh start with modern materials and proper installation techniques that prevent future problems.
Why You Should Not Wait
Small concrete problems become big problems fast. A tiny crack lets water seep underneath, eroding the base and causing more concrete to break. Uneven surfaces create trip hazards that could lead to injuries and liability. Surface damage exposes the concrete to further deterioration from freeze-thaw cycles.
Addressing problems early almost always costs less than waiting. A $500 repair today might prevent a $3,000 replacement next year. Whether you need driveway repairs, patio restoration, or sidewalk leveling, we can evaluate your situation and recommend the most cost-effective solution.
