How to Determine Whether You Require Concrete Replacement?

Concrete is a tough and reliable material, and it can be used for a wide range of projects. Eventually though, a structure made from this versatile material will need to be replaced. At the very least, it may require repairs.

If you are concerned about whether you should consider concrete replacement, talk to an expert at Osco Mudjacking & Shotcreting, Ltd. We can help you assess whether your concrete surface or structure requires repairs or replacement.

Exploring What Kinds of Concrete Services Suit Your Needs

You can first take a look at how concrete degrades, as well as how your concrete surface might deteriorate over time. This will help you to decide whether you require concrete replacement or repairs.

• Cracking: Cracks do not always lead to the need for replacement, but you should have a professional examine them nonetheless. Your concrete might sustain a variety of cracks, which may result from shrinkage, settling, or structural imbalance. If your concrete contractor can help you figure out what has caused the cracks, the contracting team may be able to circumvent more damage. If the cracks are widespread or very deep, you will probably need to have your concrete replaced. If the cracking is minimal, repairing the material could be the best solution.
• Sinking: If the subgrade was not prepared correctly, your parking lot, driveway or building patio could manifest as sunken concrete. In this case, both the concrete and the subgrade will need to be removed and replaced.
• Frost Heaving: In particularly cold climate, the moisture in the ground becomes frozen. Then, the concrete thrusts upward. This is known as frost heaving. Typically, frost heaving requires replacement.
• Spalling: When concrete becomes pitted, flaked, or chipped, this is referred to as spalling. While this might be only a cosmetic aberration, it can also indicate structural damage. You should talk to a trusted commercial concrete contractor to decide whether repair or replacement is advisable.
