Concrete Repair in Herndon, VA

Not every damaged slab needs to be replaced. Concrete Commander looks at cracking, settling and surface damage to decide whether a repair is enough or the concrete needs to come out, and puts that recommendation in writing.

What we repair

  • Crack repair and sealing.
  • Leveling sunken sections where the slab is otherwise sound.
  • Spalling and deteriorated surfaces on caps, steps and slabs.
  • Resurfacing worn concrete.
  • An honest evaluation of whether repair or replacement makes sense.

A Herndon repair: walkout stairs and wall cap

The concrete wall cap next to this Herndon home's walkout basement stairwell had deteriorated and was spalling away, and the stair treads had a worn, patched surface. The cap was repaired with a concrete bonding and repair product, then the stairs and cap were resurfaced with a clean, uniform finish.

Repair or replace?

A repair is a good fit when the damage is local and the concrete around it is solid. Replacement is usually the better call when cracking is widespread, sections have sunk or heaved, or water is undermining the slab. A repair can buy time in those cases, but you should know that's what it is.

Can a cracked driveway be repaired instead of replaced?▸

Sometimes. Small cracks and surface damage can often be repaired. Widespread cracking, sinking or drainage problems usually mean the slab needs to be replaced.

What causes concrete to spall?▸

Spalling is the surface flaking or breaking away. Water getting into the concrete and freezing, along with age and the original finish, are common contributors. The repair should address why it happened, not just the surface.
