We’ve talked a lot about concrete recently, and that’s because concrete repair is truly our passion! We’ve seen more homeowners in our area dealing with common concrete problems such as cracking, sinking, and pitting concrete, and we’re here to help answer one of the most common questions: “Should I repair or replace my concrete?” In this blog, we’ll guide you through the pros and cons of each option to help you make the best choice for your home.
Concrete replacement may seem appealing if your surfaces look worn, pitted, or uneven, or if you notice hairline cracks or slight sinking. However, the cost of replacing concrete can be a surprise for many homeowners. Fortunately, concrete repairs with polyurethane foam are often a more affordable option—typically around a quarter of the cost of replacement.
So how do you know when it’s time to replace it or repair it?
Not long ago, replacing cracked or sunken concrete was considered the only reliable fix. But in the past decade, advancements in materials, particularly polyurethane foam, have revolutionized concrete repair. Polyurethane can lift sunken concrete, fill voids underneath, and seal cracks, providing fast-drying, durable results that last longer than traditional methods. Advanced polyurethane foam technology offers an environmentally responsible, effective solution that can restore your concrete surfaces without the cost and hassle of a full replacement.
To determine if repair or replacement is the best option, we recommend a professional evaluation of your concrete. For example, if the damage is only cosmetic or limited to the surface, repairs may not be needed unless you prefer an improved look. However, if cracks or sinking are present, it’s important to assess the extent of the damage. Our team has extensive experience identifying when polyurethane concrete leveling can solve the problem and when a more comprehensive approach might be needed.
