How quickly can concrete pitting get worse?

Concrete pitting can take years to appear, but once it starts, it often progresses quickly and can lead to cracking, flaking, and surface deterioration. Addressing the issue early helps prevent more extensive damage and costly repairs.

How often should I check my concrete for damage?

We recommend inspecting your concrete at least once a year, and more often if you notice sudden changes such as new cracks, sinking, or surface wear. If you’ve had concrete lifting completed, an annual service visit can help ensure your concrete stays protected long-term. Contact JES to learn more and schedule a free concrete inspection.

Will I have to remove floor coverings for concrete floor repair?

Some floor coverings can be left in place during polyurethane injections, but others may need to be removed depending on the extent of the damage and the area needing to be repaired. Your JES inspector can advise any need for floor removal during a free inspection.

Is concrete floor repair disruptive or messy?

Instead of using conventional fillers, our repairs involve injecting durable polyurethane foam beneath the concrete to lift and level it. While we don’t “patch up” concrete cracks in the traditional sense, we often succeed in sealing them. After stabilization, we apply a silicone-based sealant to the cracks and adjoining joints.

When should I address the cracks on my concrete?

Cracks, regardless of their size, can compromise the integrity of your concrete and should be addressed as soon as you notice them.
