Concrete Repair & Replacement

Concrete is tough, but it does not last forever. Over time, weather, ground movement, and daily use take their toll. Cracks appear. Surfaces become uneven. Edges crumble. Water gets in and makes things worse. If you ignore these problems, they only get bigger and more expensive to fix.

The good news is that not all concrete problems require complete replacement. Sometimes a repair is all you need. Other times, replacement is the smarter long-term investment. We will give you an honest assessment and help you decide which option makes the most sense for your situation and budget.

DependaCrew Owensboro Concrete has been helping homeowners and businesses throughout Owensboro fix and replace damaged concrete since 2024. We know how to evaluate concrete condition, recommend the right solution, and do the work properly so it lasts. Whether you need a simple crack repair or a complete driveway replacement, we have the experience and equipment to handle it.

Here are the concrete issues we see most often and how we address them:

• Cracks: Small hairline cracks can often be sealed, but larger structural cracks may require more extensive repair or replacement
• Settling and sinking: When the ground beneath shifts, concrete slabs can sink or become uneven, creating trip hazards and drainage problems
• Surface damage: Spalling, pitting, and flaking on the surface weakens concrete and looks bad
• Crumbling edges: Edges and corners are vulnerable to chipping and breaking, especially on driveways and steps
• Water damage: Freeze-thaw cycles and poor drainage cause concrete to deteriorate faster
• Old age: Sometimes concrete has just reached the end of its useful life and needs to be replaced

Each situation is different. What works for one problem might not work for another. That is why we start with a thorough evaluation before recommending a solution. We want to fix your problem in a way that actually lasts.

When repair makes sense, we have several options depending on the type and extent of damage:

Crack Filling and Sealing

For small cracks that are not getting worse, we can clean them out and fill them with appropriate materials. This prevents water intrusion and keeps the crack from expanding. It is a cost-effective solution for minor damage.

Surface Resurfacing

If the surface is damaged but the underlying concrete is still solid, we can apply a new layer of concrete or specialized overlay material. This gives you a fresh surface without the cost of complete replacement.

Slab Jacking

For sunken or settled slabs, we can sometimes lift them back to the proper level by pumping material underneath. This technique, called mud jacking or foam jacking, is less expensive than replacement when it is appropriate.

Partial Replacement

Sometimes only a section of your concrete is damaged. We can remove and replace just that section, matching it as closely as possible to the existing concrete. This saves money compared to replacing everything.

Repairs work well for localized damage, but they are not always the answer. If your concrete has widespread problems, multiple large cracks, or significant settling, replacement usually makes more sense. We will give you an honest opinion about which route is best.

Sometimes repair is like putting a band-aid on a broken arm. It might cover the problem temporarily, but it does not really fix anything. Here is when replacement makes more sense:

• The concrete is old and has multiple problems throughout
• Large structural cracks indicate serious underlying issues
• The slab has settled significantly or in multiple places
• Surface damage is widespread and getting worse
• The cost of repairs approaches the cost of replacement
• You want to upgrade to decorative concrete or a better finish

Replacement gives you a fresh start. You get new concrete built to modern standards with proper prep work, reinforcement, and finishing. It will last another 30 years or more with minimal maintenance. We remove the old concrete, prepare the site properly, and pour a new driveway, patio, or whatever you need.
