Surface deterioration
Scaling, spalling or worn finishes may be related to exposure, material condition or previous maintenance.
Concrete damage
Cracks and settlement need context before the repair method is chosen.
Concrete damage may be cosmetic, localized or connected to base preparation, drainage, movement, loading or long-term deterioration. The right response depends on what the slab or surface is doing.
What it may indicate
What the visible damage may suggest.
The shape, location and movement of concrete damage matter.
Cracking and movement
Cracks can reflect shrinkage, settlement, loading or movement at adjoining materials.
Trip or access hazard
Vertical displacement and broken edges can affect safe use and may need prompt attention.
What to do next
Review drainage, movement and intended use together.
A patch may be appropriate for some localized conditions. Wider movement, poor base conditions or recurring drainage problems may require a different repair or replacement strategy.
Avoid assuming a surface coating alone will correct active movement below the concrete.

Questions
Common questions
Straight answers help clients decide what to do next.
Can every crack be repaired?
Many cracks can be filled or repaired, but the result depends on movement, width, location, moisture and the intended use of the surface.
When is replacement more practical?
Replacement may be more practical when damage is widespread, movement continues, drainage is poor or the base condition is failing.
Do you assess trip hazards?
Yes. The appropriate action depends on the amount of displacement, location, traffic and surrounding conditions.
What affects project pricing?
Measurements, scope, access, preparation, materials, disposal, equipment, site conditions, permits and schedule requirements can affect pricing.
