If left uncorrected, a cracked or sunken concrete patio can be a tripping hazard, affect your property’s appearance, and cause foundational issues. You need to take quick action. The problem is that replacing your patio is expensive, while traditional methods like mudjacking and store-bought sealants only offer temporary relief and not a long-term fix. None of these techniques resolve the root cause of damaged concrete, which is likely the soil underneath. 

Polyurethane foam injections are the right solution. They can lift and level your patio, improving safety for your family and guests. SettleStop™ PolyRenewal™, available in Edmonton from Groundworks, cures in 15 minutes and won’t erode, wash out, or release chemicals into your soil.

What Is Concrete Patio Repair?

Over time, various conditions in Alberta can cause a patio to crack or sink, such as expansive soil, freeze-thaw cycles, and water oversaturation. Concrete patio repair tackles these issues and restores concrete to its original condition.

PolyRenewal™ is a commercial-grade polyurethane foam that can lift and stabilize your patio. It addresses problems like soil settlement, shrinkage, and erosion caused by inadequate drainage, poor compaction, and overdrying.

Signs Your Concrete Steps Need Repair

It could be time to repair your patio if you see any of these signs:

  • Detachment of the patio from adjacent structures
  • Concrete pitting, flaking, or staining 
  • Wear on other concrete elements (like driveways, sidewalks, steps, and pool decks)

Notice any of these signs? Taking quick action can prevent further deterioration and expensive repair bills.

Is Concrete Patio Repair Necessary?

Ignoring a damaged patio can lead to more serious damage as time passes. If cracks widen, more water can reach the soil underneath your patio, causing potential structural damage to your home.

We don’t recommend mudjacking, concrete repouring, or other outdated methods, as these won’t provide the long-lasting protection you need. Instead, consider PolyRenewal™, which deals with both the symptoms and root cause of a worn-out patio.

Benefits of Concrete Patio Repair

Advantages of fixing your concrete patio include:

  • Improved Safety: Cracked patios are a major tripping hazard. We mitigate this risk by lifting sinking patio sections, ensuring a safer environment for your family and guests.
  • Stopping Deterioration: Lifting settled patios and sealing breaks can prevent further concrete decay and preserve structural integrity.
  • Aesthetic Upgrades: A well-maintained and fully functional patio makes your property more attractive and can increase its worth.
  • Longevity: PolyRenewal™ provides longer-lasting results than mudjacking and other traditional repair methods.

Concrete Patio Repair FAQs

Several factors can cause a cracked or uneven patio, such as unstable soil, water accumulation, freeze-thaw cycles, and expanding tree roots. During our free home inspection, we can identify the cause of your problem.

Mudjacking doesn’t last, washes out, and can be messy. It also doesn’t solve the underlying issue that caused your damaged patio. We recommend PolyRenewal™ as a mudjacking alternative for cracked and uneven concrete.

Store-bought sealants are temporary fixes that don’t address the root cause of a cracked patio. Work with local experts who can customize a concrete lifting solution based on your needs.

The work done promptly by Ryan and his team (Eryica, Ny) was excellent with the driveway lift that was extremely necessary. The team did a great job being on time and within the time allotted to complete the work. Would recommend to others if they need a professional job done while being efficient. Thank you again!

We got 3 quotes for driveway lifting. These guys were competitively priced and had good reviews on google so we hired them. I’m glad we did! They were very friendly, professional, and efficient. They did a great job and cleaned up afterwards. When James and his partner came back to seal the joints, the service was just as good as the first team. Thanks again!

They showed up, gave me quote on the spot, I approved it they showed up next day and got it all done in 4 hrs. Evan zack and trevor were great to deal with during the install and gave me a walk thru when it was all done letting me know all the details of the job. Would recommend 👌

He was very easy to deal with and most importantly, we never felt pressure during the whole quoting process.

Excellent service. Sales was pleasant and quote was thorough enough to proceed. The crew that came out to excavate, and install the interior and exterior basement systems was absolutely top notch – their work was neat and tidy, they showed up on time, and worked hard. To top it off, they (and all the folks involved) have to be the most pleasant contractors I’ve ever dealt with – and this is house #5 for us over the years! Thank you, Basement Authority. Highly recommend.
