Not all damaged concrete can—or should—be repaired. In Calgary, weather exposure and ground movement can cause concrete to deteriorate beyond repair. Knowing when replacement is the better option can save homeowners time, money, and frustration. At Lion Heart Contractors Ltd., we help clients make informed decisions based on long-term performance.
Signs Concrete Should Be Replaced
Some damage goes deeper than the surface. Repairing structurally compromised concrete often leads to recurring issues.
Common Indicators Replacement Is the Best Option
1. Large or Multiple Cracks: Especially if cracks are widening or spreading.
2. Uneven or Sunken Slabs: Indicates base failure or soil movement.
3. Surface Spalling: Flaking or crumbling caused by freeze–thaw damage.
4. Drainage Problems: Water pooling that cannot be corrected with minor fixes.
