Every homeowner takes pride in maintaining the attractive appearance of their home. Unfortunately, a cracked or damaged concrete driveway can detract significantly from your home’s value and curb appeal. Armed with a bit of insight and help from a local concrete supplier, you can watch for the signs the surface needs repaving. 

3 Signs Your Driveway Needs New Concrete 

1. Cracking

Many homeowners tend to ignore cracking in the driveway and continue to walk and drive over it. Not only is this extremely dangerous, but the problem will also only worsen with time if cracks continue to go unaddressed. Big fissures in concrete are not only unsightly, they are also an indication the structural integrity of the concrete is at risk. While some try to patch and repair cracked concrete, this approach could cost you more in the long run if it’s not done properly.

2. Pits

3. Sinking

Sunken concrete is a problem many property owners experience after the slabs have settled. It’s important to note sinking requires immediate attention because it will worsen over time. If you have recently noticed parts of your concrete driveway are starting to dip below the intended surface level, call a professional to inspect the damage and offer suggestions as to how to safely proceed.
