A well-maintained concrete driveway can be an attractive, functional addition to your property. But once ordinary wear and tear begin to show, your driveway will start detracting from the appearance of your home and may also cause safety issues. Childers Concrete Co. in High Point, NC, offers repairs to address common driveway problems and keep your property in the best condition. Call them when you spot any of the following warning signs.

When to Call for Concrete Driveway Repairs

1. Cracks

Minor concrete cracks can be patched individually, but they're still likely to widen over time, leading to chunks breaking away and uneven edges forming. If your driveway is cracking, it should be either repaired or replaced as soon as possible. Most concrete companies can give you advice and estimates for this work.

2. Pooling Water

When water pools on the surface of your concrete driveway instead of running off, it means the surface is uneven, either due to wear or because the concrete has shifted. Pooling water leads to slick surfaces, especially if there are any oil deposits on the concrete. Water also means icing problems in the winter and should be addressed immediately, before the cold weather sets in.

3. Unevenness

Over time, the ground beneath your concrete driveway will shift and compress, leading the original concrete slabs or any cracked sections to lift, sink, and tilt. This causes unevenness at the joints, which in turn means bumps and tripping hazards. A repair company can grind down the higher edges or repave your driveway to remove the risk of injury.

If your concrete driveway is starting to show its age, address the problem now before it grows. Call Childers Concrete Co. for repairs or replacement. You can reach them at (336) 841-3111. Learn more about their services on their website.
