Concrete Repairs & Maintenance

Full Remove & Replace

When concrete has experienced significant cracking, settlement, spalling, or structural failure, full removal and replacement is often the best long-term solution. Crown Paving removes the damaged concrete, repairs the underlying base if necessary, and installs new concrete to current specifications. While this option requires the largest investment and longest cure time, it provides the greatest lifespan and performance.

Concrete Grinding

Concrete grinding is a cost-effective solution for correcting uneven surfaces, trip hazards, and minor settlement issues without replacing the entire slab. Using specialized grinding equipment, Crown Paving restores a smooth, safe walking and driving surface with minimal disruption. This option is typically faster and more budget-friendly than full replacement when the concrete remains structurally sound.

Concrete Crack Filling

Not every crack requires concrete replacement. Crack filling helps prevent water infiltration, freeze-thaw damage, and further deterioration by sealing existing cracks before they expand. This preventative maintenance solution is the quickest and most economical concrete repair option, helping extend the life of otherwise serviceable pavement and flatwork.

Concrete Removal & Replacement

For severely damaged, cracked, or uneven concrete, removal and replacement are often the most effective long-term solutions. Crown Paving is equipped to handle projects of all sizes, including:

• Sidewalk repair: Addressing trip hazards and aesthetic issues.
• Curb and gutter repair: Restoring drainage and roadway integrity.
• Dumpster pad repair: Withstanding heavy loads and spills.
• ADA ramp construction and repair: Ensuring accessibility and compliance.
• Parking or drive lane repair: Maintaining smooth, safe traffic flow.

Reinforcing Your Concrete for Enhanced Durability

Crown Paving’s goal is to provide a robust solution that goes beyond superficial fixes, embedding strength and resilience into the very core of your concrete structures. We implement various reinforcement strategies depending on your project’s unique needs:

• Dowels for Connections: This prevents differential settlement and movement between the old and new sections, crucial for maintaining a seamless and durable surface.
• Woven Wire Mesh: A cost-effective and efficient choice for many residential and commercial slabs, helping to control cracks that can form from drying shrinkage and thermal expansion.
• Rebar (Reinforcing Bars): Rebar helps concrete withstand bending and pulling forces, maintaining its integrity under adverse conditions.
• Fiber Reinforcement and Different Strength Mixes: Fibers improve the concrete’s resistance to plastic shrinkage cracking, impact, and abrasion.

Concrete Maintenance

At Crown Paving, we believe in proactive care.

• Concrete Crack Fill: For non-structural cracks
• Epoxy Injection: For deeper, more critical cracks
• Thin Set Materials: For aesthetic resurfacing and to provide a structural layer that improves wear resistance and protects the underlying concrete.

Should You Repair the Concrete or Replace It?

For severely damaged, cracked or uneven concrete, removal and replacement is often the most effective long-term solution, and Crown Paving handles it at any size: sidewalk repair for trip hazards, curb and gutter repair to restore drainage, dumpster pad repair built for heavy loads and spills, ADA ramp construction and repair, and parking or drive lane repair. Where the damage is confined to the surface or to non-structural cracking, maintenance is the cheaper and the correct answer.

Can a Concrete Crack Be Sealed Instead of Replaced?

Often, and the treatment depends on the crack. Concrete crack fill handles non-structural cracks. Epoxy injection handles deeper, more critical ones. Thin set materials handle aesthetic resurfacing and add a structural layer that improves wear resistance and protects the concrete underneath. Matching the treatment to the crack is what stops a repair becoming a replacement.
