Concrete Repair & Restoration
Fix cracks, settle issues, and restore old concrete to extend its life and improve appearance.
When to Repair Instead of Replace
Not every damaged concrete surface needs to be torn out and replaced. Many problems can be fixed with professional repair and restoration. Repairing concrete is often faster and less expensive than replacement, and it can add years of life to your driveway, patio, or walkway. The key is catching problems early before they get worse.
At NorthWay Muskegon Concrete, we assess every repair honestly. If your concrete can be restored to safe, functional condition, we will recommend repair. If the damage is too extensive or the underlying structure has failed, we will tell you that too. You deserve honest advice, not a sales pitch.
Common Concrete Problems We Fix
Michigan weather is hard on concrete. Here are the most common issues we see and how we fix them:
Cracks
Small cracks can be filled and sealed to prevent water intrusion and stop them from spreading. We clean out the crack, apply bonding agents, and fill with appropriate repair materials. For larger cracks or moving cracks, we may need to cut out and replace sections.
Settling and Sinking
When sections of concrete settle unevenly, they create trip hazards and drainage problems. We can lift and level sunken slabs using mud jacking or foam injection. This process raises the concrete back to its original level without tearing it out.
Spalling and Surface Damage
Spalling is when the surface of concrete flakes, chips, or breaks away. It is often caused by water getting in and freezing, or by salt damage. We can resurface damaged areas with a bonded concrete overlay that restores the surface and adds a fresh look.
Pitting and Scaling
Surface pitting and scaling make concrete look worn and can expose aggregate. We can apply a skim coat or overlay to smooth out the surface and protect the underlying concrete.
Discoloration and Stains
Oil stains, rust, and other discoloration can be cleaned and treated. For stubborn stains or overall discoloration, we can apply acid stains, concrete dyes, or overlays to give your concrete a uniform, attractive appearance.

Why Address Concrete Problems Early
Small problems become big problems if you ignore them. A hairline crack will widen over time as water gets in and freezes. A small settled section will continue to sink and create more settling around it. Surface spalling will expose more concrete to damage.
The sooner you fix concrete issues, the less expensive the repair will be. If you wait too long, what could have been a simple crack fill turns into a full replacement. We have seen countless situations where an early repair would have saved thousands of dollars.
If you notice cracks, settling, or surface damage, call us for an assessment. We will inspect your concrete, explain what is happening, and recommend the most cost-effective solution. There is no charge for estimates.
