Fresh concrete looks incredible and seems impervious to change. But even the best-poured patios, pathways, and driveways can surrender to natural causes. Here’s how we at RK Concrete tackle each of the top causes for concrete degradation.
Utah’s freeze-thaw cycles can be tough on driveways, sidewalks, patios, and slabs. Any small crack left unaddressed in your concrete will trap moisture during the summer heat, which leads to ice forcing that crack wider during winter.
This type of weathering splits even the toughest stones and reduces mountains to rubble over time.
So how is your concrete going to survive?
Apply a commercial grade floor sealer to protect your concrete from moisture and extend its lifespan. Our customers love this solution because of the lasting beauty and finish it adds.
Flash floods can carry away hundreds of pounds of soil, rock, and metal when they hit Utah’s dry climate. But did you know that ground water seepage is enough to erode the surface underneath your concrete over time? This compromised earthwork results in settling, or worse, slanted slabs, patios, and pathways that become a hazard, not just an eyesore.
At R.K. Concrete, we can replace the compromised foundation with ECO-friendly materials designed to make your walkway, driveway, or patio look brand new. This saves money over simply replacing the missing dirt because it prevents future erosion at the same location.
Although they grow slowly, trees are dauntless in their search for ground water. That means sending roots underneath sidewalks, driveways, and custom outdoor features in search of hydration.
This growth pushes up against concrete, causing it to lift and crack. As Utah’s premier concrete contractor, our highly experienced crews can lift and repair concrete without damaging your existing profile and surrounding yard, pool side, etc.
In fact, we travel from the greater Wasatch Front to outlying areas like Heber City, Carbon County, and Tooele County on our mission to give you outstanding concrete service. Easily get a quote from us for your concrete repair projects.
