Restore Your Concrete Instead of Replacing It

Concrete problems do not always require complete replacement. Many issues can be repaired at a fraction of the cost of tearing out and pouring new concrete. Whether you have cracks, settling, surface damage, or drainage problems, CountyWorks Lorain Concrete can evaluate your concrete in Lorain, OH and recommend the most cost-effective solution.

We have been repairing and restoring concrete in Lorain, OH since 2024. We use proven repair techniques and quality materials to fix problems and extend the life of your concrete. From minor crack filling to major slab leveling, we handle repairs of all sizes for driveways, patios, walkways, and more.

Common Concrete Problems We Fix

Concrete can develop various problems over time. Here are issues we commonly repair:

Cracks

Cracks are the most common concrete problem. Small hairline cracks are usually cosmetic, but larger cracks can allow water infiltration that leads to bigger problems. We evaluate cracks to determine if they are structural or surface issues, then recommend the appropriate repair method.

Settling and Sinking

When soil under concrete compacts or washes away, slabs can settle and sink. This creates trip hazards, drainage problems, and uneven surfaces. We can often lift and level sunken concrete using specialized techniques instead of replacing it.

Spalling and Surface Damage

Spalling is when the concrete surface flakes, pits, or breaks away. This is often caused by freeze-thaw damage, deicing salts, or poor finishing. We can resurface damaged concrete to restore a smooth, durable surface.

Drainage Issues

Water pooling on concrete or flowing toward your foundation causes long-term damage. We can adjust grades, add drainage systems, or slope concrete surfaces to direct water away properly.

Discoloration and Stains

Oil, rust, and other stains can make concrete look old and neglected. We can clean and restore stained concrete, or apply surface treatments to improve appearance.

Our Repair Methods

We use various techniques depending on the problem and the condition of your concrete:

Crack filling and sealing: We clean out cracks, fill them with flexible sealant or epoxy, and seal the surface to prevent water infiltration.
Concrete resurfacing: We apply a thin layer of new concrete or polymer overlay to damaged surfaces, restoring a smooth, fresh appearance.
Slab jacking and leveling: We pump specialized material under sunken slabs to lift and level them without removal.
Patching: We remove damaged sections and patch with new concrete that bonds to the existing surface.
Joint repair: We clean and reseal expansion joints and control joints to prevent water damage.
Pressure washing and cleaning: We remove stains, dirt, and buildup to restore the original appearance.

We evaluate every situation and recommend repairs that make economic sense. Sometimes replacement is the better option, and we will tell you honestly when that is the case.

When to Repair vs Replace

Not every concrete problem requires replacement. Here is how we decide:

Good candidates for repair: Minor cracks, surface spalling, small settled areas, drainage problems, and cosmetic damage. If the concrete is structurally sound and less than 50 percent damaged, repair is usually cost-effective.

Signs you need replacement: Severe cracking over large areas, major structural failure, extensive settling, widespread spalling, or if repairs would cost nearly as much as replacement. Old concrete that is past its useful life is better replaced.

Age matters: Concrete less than 10 to 15 years old is usually worth repairing. Concrete over 30 years old with significant problems may be better replaced, especially if you want to upgrade the appearance.

We provide honest assessments and give you options with cost comparisons for repair versus replacement. Our goal is to help you make the best decision for your situation and budget.

Preventing Future Concrete Problems

After we repair your concrete, you can extend its life with proper maintenance:

Seal your concrete every 2 to 3 years to protect against moisture and stains.
Keep expansion joints and control joints clean and sealed.
Avoid using deicing salts. Use sand for winter traction instead.
Ensure proper drainage so water flows away from concrete surfaces.
Address small cracks promptly before they become larger problems.
Clean off oil and chemical spills quickly to prevent staining and surface damage.
Avoid heavy impacts and sharp objects that can chip or damage the surface.

We can also help with new concrete installations if you need a new driveway, patio, or other concrete work.
