If your concrete driveway is in disrepair, Connecticut’s rain showers, snow storms, and heat waves will only make existing damage worse. To prevent this from happening, the professionals at Builder’s Concrete East believe you shouldn’t ignore the signs it’s time for new concrete. For more than 50 years, the Windham-based company has been providing people throughout the state with high-quality, affordable ready mix concrete for commercial projects. 

Below, the team at Builder’s Concrete East shares three common signs you need new concrete for your driveway:

  • concreteSinking Concrete: If part of the driveway is sinking, a drainage problem could be to blame. If this is the case, call a trained technician immediately. Before placing new concrete, they will remove the old materials and install a sand or gravel base. This will help drain the area and keep the driveway level. 
  • Cracks: Over time, de-icing salt and car grease will break down your driveway. In winter, frozen concrete will expand and turn cracks into potholes. Patching the damage only provides a temporary fix, so it’s best to install new concrete.
  • Pooling Water: Does your driveway look like a swimming pool? If so, poorly sloped concrete is most likely causing the problem. If the driveway is uneven, call a specialist for help. They will slope the new concrete to direct water away from the driveway.

If you need new concrete, the team at Builder’s Concrete East is ready to help. They carry a wide range of supplies, from ready mix cement to concrete mix, to extend the lifespan of your driveway. If you’re working on a home remodel, they will also give you useful design tips on how stamped concrete can revamp your space.
