Orlando Concrete Restoration

Wondering if you need Orlando concrete restoration? Here are the can’t-miss signs you do, and how to choose the right contractor for the job.

 

Concrete is a great option for any surface. It’s durable, long-lasting, and adds an attractive look to your residential or commercial property. But even a material as strong as concrete is going to need Orlando concrete restoration at some point. Here’s what to look for:

 

Cracking

It’s probably obvious that cracks in your concrete surface mean it’s time for some repair work, and since they can rapidly increase in size, it’s best to address them as early on as possible. Cracks are primarily caused by extreme changes in weather conditions, such as heavy rains followed by a long period of hot weather (sound a little like Florida?), which causes the soil to contract and expand repeatedly. 

 

The Surface Is No Longer Even

If you’ve been feeling like you’re tripping over your own feet, you probably need Orlando concrete restoration. You want your concrete surfaces to be even and flat, so that they provide safe walking surfaces for any pedestrians. Just like cracks in your concrete, surface height changes can be attributed to weather changes, or may be caused by a poor-quality foundation. Ignoring this problem can lead to more serious issues. You’ll want to fix it before your surface begins to deteriorate.

 

Poor Overall Appearance

We’ve all seen what aging concrete looks like, and Orlando concrete restoration can give yours its very own facelift. If your concrete is becoming discolored or starting to corrode, it’s possible that it’s losing the protective coating that’s needed to help it resist the elements. Additionally, if you’re starting to see excessive cracking, holes, or other signs of wear, it’s time to get some work done.

 

Pooling Water

When concrete is installed, it’s installed at a slope so that water can quickly and easily run off of the surface. Having standing water on your concrete is not only terrible for the concrete itself, it’s extremely inconvenient. It might not seem to be that big of a problem to have puddles in your driveway, but imagine rainwater that runs into your garage instead of out, just because of the slope of the concrete. 

 

Whether the water pooling on your surfaces is due to poor installation, shifting foundations, or need of a waterproof coating, it’s definitely something that you want a professional Orlando concrete restoration company to take care of.

 

Sticking Doors and Cracking Walls

If you have a concrete patio, and the door leading to it has been getting more and more difficult to open, you might not have considered the possibility that it’s caused by your concrete surface. Similarly, shifting concrete slab can cause cracks in concrete walls and damage to just about anything that’s sitting on it.
