Concrete Repair and Concrete Crack Repair Introduction
Flat concrete repair is the core business of SKV Construction.
Our work encompasses the resurfacing of flat surfaces like garage floors, driveways, patios, sidewalks, steps, and paving areas. We repair cracks, broken sections of concrete, install railings, curbs, and edgings as requested by our clients. Often times, it is financially more attractive to repair a cracked or dirty old surface, then it is to replace the surface with completely new concrete. But either way, SKV Construction is here to advise you on the most favorable approach.
Dealing with cracked concrete, spalling surfaces, sunken surfaces, and crumbling concrete may seem like a small issue. Often times, it is not a structural concern. And so, the repairs might not get the attention they deserve. However, damage to concrete that is left untreated can cause problems like tripping hazards and loss of property value. Addressing concrete repair needs sooner rather than later can save you money.
There are many "how to" videos and concrete repair papers online. The US Bureau of Reclamation has numerous white papers on the subject. The Guide to Concrete Repair, 2015 provides detailed description of the uses, limitations, materials, and procedures of each of the standard repair methods/materials included in the Standard Specifications for Repair of Concrete.
