Concrete Repair and Restoration: Bringing New Life to Old Surfaces in Union City

Why Would I Want to Restore My Concrete?

There are four great reasons to restore your concrete.

1. It Can Save You Money

• Concrete restoration is often less expensive than repairing or replacing the entire slab.
• Restoration extends the life of your current concrete.

2. It Will Save You Time

• In most cases, it takes much less time to restore concrete than to replace it entirely.
• You will experience minimal interruption to your home.

3. It Is Better For The Environment

• You will save resources (reducing waste) when you use restoration instead of tearing out and replacing concrete.
• Less energy is needed to restore your concrete than to install brand-new concrete.

4. It Helps Preserve The Past

• If you have an older property, restoring your concrete allows you to keep its original look.
• You can update your property without losing the parts that make it familiar.

Common Problems In Union City Homes

1. Cracks

• Cracks appear on your concrete because it settled, gone through several freeze-thaw cycles, or has had heavy objects placed upon it.
• If you don’t fix them, they can lead to water seeping into your slab.

2. Spalling

• Spalling is the process of the top layer of your concrete peeling off.
• It usually occurs as a result of repeated freeze-thaw cycles or exposure to de-icing products.

3. Color Change

• Your concrete may fade or stain due to excessive exposure to sunlight, exposure to chemicals, or improper application of sealants.

4. Unlevel Surface

• A surface may become uneven due to settlement or “heaving” of the soil beneath the slab.

5. Damaged Joints

• Expansion joints may fail due to weather conditions, wear and tear, or other factors.

What We Offer in Repair and Restoration Services

1. Crack Repair

• We repair structural cracks using either an epoxy or polyurethane injection method, and for non-structural cracks, we route and fill them.

• To give your surface a new facelift, we apply a thin layer of concrete to resurface your slab.
• This includes applying color and/or texture as part of the concrete resurfacing process.

3. Leveling

• We perform mud-jacking or polyurethane foam injection to raise sunken slabs.

4. Joint Repair

• We remove the failed sealant and install a new flexible sealant in its place.

5. Sealing

• We apply protective sealers to help protect your slab from further damage.

6. Decorative Overlays

• We add decorative designs or textures to the surface of your existing concrete.

The Steps of Our Restoration Process

1. Inspection/Assessment

• We evaluate your slab’s overall condition thoroughly to identify why your slab developed the problems it did.

2. Cleaning and Prep

• We power-wash your slab to clean away all debris and loose material, then make repairs to large areas of damage before restoration.

3. Apply Repairs

• We use methods suited to each form of damage to make repairs to your slab.

4. Apply Resurfacing/Overlay

• We add a new layer of material to resurface your slab.

5. Finishing Touches

• We finish your restoration project with the addition of color, texture, or design as you desire.

6. Seal/Cure

• We protect your newly restored surface for years to come.
