Contractors count on concrete for projects that require long-term durability. However, your concrete pool area, driveway, and outdoor stairs are still susceptible to damage when exposed to the elements for years. If you’re wondering when to call a concrete contractor for repairs, look out for the following warning signs.

3 Signs You Need to Call a Concrete Contractor

1. Pooling Water

After years of supporting the same driving patterns or high-traffic paths around the pool, your concrete driveway or patio may start to deteriorate. The areas you use the most will erode, leaving small depressions. After a storm or a few cannonballs into the pool, you may notice water pooling in these areas. This is a sign that your concrete is no longer level and needs repairs.

2. Cracks

Together, these forces can result in cracks. If you notice cracks in your concrete surfaces, schedule repairs before the elements have a chance to make the problem worse.

3. Uneven Surfaces

If your concrete patio or walkway features multiple slabs, pay attention to the surface as a whole. If it is no longer a seamless, even surface, you should turn to a contractor for repairs. Not only are unlevel slabs a sign of age-related deterioration, but they also increase the risk of trip and fall accidents on your property. In some cases, the concrete may need to be replaced, or sunken slabs may need to be lifted.
