Contact and Scheduling
The process starts when you request a free estimate. We’ll schedule an on-site visit to assess the damaged concrete and discuss the necessary repairs based on your needs.
On-Site Inspection
One of our skilled technicians will evaluate the extent of the damage, including the size, depth, and condition of the affected area. We’ll identify any underlying problems that may have caused the deterioration, such as poor drainage, weather damage, or previous repair issues.
Recommendations and Estimate
Based on our findings, we will recommend the most suitable patching solution and outline the steps involved. We will also provide a detailed estimate, which includes the cost and timelines. Once you approve the plan, we’ll schedule the patching work at your convenience.
Surface Preparation
Area Cleaning
Proper surface preparation is critical for a successful patch. Before patching, we will:
- Thoroughly clean the affected area using pressure washing or other methods to remove dirt, debris, and loose concrete.
- For larger damaged sections, we may use grinders or chisels to remove any crumbling concrete and ensure a solid base for the patching material.
Crack Repair (if necessary)
If there are any cracks adjacent to the damaged area, we will repair these cracks first to prevent further deterioration before moving on to the patching.
Surface Priming (if needed)
Depending on the extent of damage, we may apply a bonding agent or primer to the prepared surface. This ensures that the new patch material adheres effectively to the existing concrete and provides a strong bond.
Application of Patching Material
Material Selection
We use high-quality cement-based patching compounds that are specifically designed for durability and long-lasting performance. The exact type of patching material will depend on the size and depth of the damage.
Patching Process:
- For shallow patches: Our team will apply a thin layer of patching compound using a trowel, carefully smoothing it out to match the existing surface.
- For deeper patches: We will apply multiple layers of patching material, allowing each layer to set before applying the next. This ensures a strong, durable repair.
Smoothing and Finishing
Once the patching material is applied, our team will smooth out the surface, blending the patch seamlessly with the surrounding concrete. We ensure that the patched area is even and free from visible seams or texture changes.
Curing and Drying
Curing Time
After the patching material is applied, it will need time to cure properly. Depending on the size of the patch and the weather conditions, curing can take between 24 to 48 hours. We will ensure the patched area is protected from foot traffic and weather exposure during this time.
Surface Protection
For larger or exposed areas, we may cover the patched surface with protective materials to shield it from moisture, direct sunlight, or debris during the curing process.
Final Inspection and Approval
Customer Walkthrough
Once the patching has cured, we’ll conduct a final inspection of the area with you. We’ll check the integrity of the repair, making sure the surface is smooth, durable, and aesthetically consistent with the rest of the concrete.
Touch-Ups (if necessary)
If any imperfections are found during the walkthrough, we’ll address them immediately, ensuring the patch is flawless.
Final Approval
After the walkthrough, we’ll ask for your final approval. At this point, we’ll provide recommendations on how to maintain the patched area to prevent future damage.
Ongoing Care and Maintenance Tips
Regular Cleaning
Keep your newly patched concrete in good condition by regularly cleaning the surface with water and mild detergent. Avoid using harsh chemicals that may weaken the patching material.
Sealing the Surface
For added protection, we recommend applying a concrete sealant to the patched area once it has fully cured. Sealing helps protect the concrete from moisture, chemicals, and weather, reducing the likelihood of further damage.
Monitor for Wear
Check the patched area periodically for signs of new damage or wear, especially after heavy use or extreme weather. Early detection of new issues will help prevent the need for more extensive repairs in the future.
