Rainwater isn’t just water. Its composition varies based on chemicals in the local atmosphere. These chemicals then rain down onto your concrete and trigger processes and reactions in your concrete which make it vulnerable to deterioration.

Excessive moisture and long-term exposure to any type of water (like this year’s rainy winter) can negatively affect the structural performance of concrete. If you start to notice your concrete displaying signs of water damage, you will want to perform maintenance sooner rather than later to keep it safe and aesthetically pleasing.

Your Options

• Repair: Freeze-thaw cycles and regular use will slowly erode concrete, causing small surface cracks. Cracks less than a quarter inch wide can be repaired with liquid crack-fillers as a temporary solution but water will settle between the old and new material and the cracking will continue.
• Replace: If your concrete is several decades old, was improperly installed, has been affected by tree roots, or has had salt used on it as a de-icer, you should consider full replacement. 
• Resurface: Resurfacing your concrete will save money, resources, and eliminate the disposal of materials. An experienced contractor will remove the top layer of concrete and replace it with a thin layer of cement based material, applied directly to the existing concrete. With resurfacing there are many decorative options, including stamping, staining, and texturing. You can customize the colors, patterns, and finishes to blend with other decorativeelements of your home, such as brick, flagstone, or slate.
