Concrete Repair & Replacement
Cracked, sunken, or crumbling concrete? We fix it fast and make it last.
When to Repair and When to Replace Your Concrete
Concrete is tough, but it does not last forever. Over time, cracks form, surfaces wear down, and slabs can settle or shift. If you have noticed cracks in your driveway, uneven sections in your sidewalk, or crumbling edges on your patio, you are not alone. These are some of the most common issues we see across North Augusta and the surrounding CSRA area.
The good news is that not every problem requires a full tear-out. Many concrete issues can be fixed with targeted repairs that save you time and money. But when the damage goes too deep, a full replacement is the smarter long-term investment. At Advanced North Augusta Concrete, we will inspect your concrete, explain what is happening, and give you an honest recommendation on whether a repair or replacement makes the most sense.
We handle everything from small crack fills and surface patching to complete slab removal and replacement. Our team works on driveways, patios, sidewalks, garage floors, steps, and commercial concrete of all kinds. No job is too small or too large. If your concrete has a problem, we have a solution.
Call us at (803) 991-5033 to schedule a free inspection. We will come out, look at the damage, and give you a clear, written quote with no obligations.
Common Concrete Problems We Fix Every Day
Years of weather, soil movement, tree roots, and heavy use take a toll on concrete surfaces. Here are the issues we deal with most often:
- Hairline and structural cracks caused by shrinkage, settling, or heavy loads. Small cracks can be sealed. Large cracks that go all the way through the slab usually mean it is time for a section replacement.
- Spalling and flaking surfaces where the top layer peels away, often caused by freeze-thaw cycles, deicing chemicals, or a poor finish during the original pour.
- Sunken or uneven slabs that create trip hazards and collect standing water. We can sometimes lift these back into place with concrete leveling, or we remove and repour them if the base has failed.
- Crumbling edges and corners that break apart from impact or erosion. We cut out the damaged area and pour new concrete that bonds to the existing slab.
- Tree root damage where roots have pushed up from underneath, cracking and lifting sections of your driveway or walkway.
If your driveway is the surface showing the most wear, take a look at our concrete driveway installation page to learn about your replacement options. A new driveway can completely transform the look of your property.
Our Repair Process: Simple, Thorough, and Done Right
When you call us for a repair, we start with a full assessment of the damaged area. We look at the surface, check the base condition where possible, and identify the root cause of the problem. Fixing the symptom without addressing the cause just means the problem comes back.
For smaller repairs like crack sealing or surface patching, we use polymer-modified repair compounds that bond tightly to the existing concrete and flex with temperature changes. For larger repairs, we saw-cut clean edges around the damaged section, remove the broken concrete, prepare the base, and pour a new section that matches the surrounding surface as closely as possible.
Full replacement projects follow the same standards as our new concrete installations. We remove the old slab, regrade and compact the soil, add fresh gravel base, place reinforcement, and pour new concrete that is built to last. We also make sure drainage is correct so water moves away from your home and does not pool on the new surface.

Frequently Asked Questions About Concrete Repair
Can cracked concrete be repaired or does it need to be replaced?
It depends on the type and severity of the cracks. Hairline cracks and minor surface cracks can usually be sealed with a flexible filler that prevents water from getting in and causing further damage. However, if the cracks are wide, deep, or the slab has shifted, a section replacement or full replacement is usually the better option. We will inspect the damage and tell you honestly which approach gives you the best long-term result for your money.
Will the new concrete match my existing concrete?
We do our best to match color and texture, but new concrete will always look slightly different from aged concrete at first. Over time, the color difference fades as the new section weathers. If an exact match is important, we can apply a surface stain or coating to the entire area to create a uniform appearance. We will discuss your options during the estimate so there are no surprises.
How quickly can you start a repair project?
For most residential repairs, we can schedule an inspection within a few days of your call and begin work shortly after. Emergency repairs like trip hazards on walkways or severely damaged driveways are prioritized because they are safety concerns. Full replacement projects that require demolition take a bit longer to schedule but we always work to get started as quickly as possible. Call us and we will give you a realistic timeline for your specific project.
