Slab condition
Wide or through-slab cracks
Cracks that go all the way through a patio and continue growing usually indicate movement below the slab.
Sinking or heaving sections
Uneven surfaces are hard to correct without addressing the base under the concrete.
Drainage and water problems
Water pooling near the house
Patios that no longer drain away from the structure can be a moisture concern for the home, not just the patio.
Standing water on the surface
Puddles that stay after rain point to slope or settlement issues that surface repair rarely fixes.
Changing how the patio is used
Adding a cover or outdoor kitchen
A slab planned for open use may not be sized or supported correctly for a heavier structure above it.
Expanding usable outdoor space
Replacement is a natural time to enlarge the patio, adjust the shape or improve the connection to the yard.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a cracked patio just be resurfaced?
+
Sometimes, but resurfacing does not address movement below the slab. If the underlying cracks are structural, resurfacing may fail early.
Is patio replacement disruptive to the yard?
+
Some disruption is normal. Access paths, grass along the removal route and nearby landscaping are all considered during the estimate.
