Are Cracks in Your Concrete Getting Worse?
Cracked concrete is more than an eyesore. Cracks can create rough edges, let water under the slab, collect debris, and make the surface less safe to walk or drive on.
The Concrete Team provides concrete crack repair for driveways, sidewalks, patios, steps, slabs, pool decks, garage floors, and other concrete surfaces throughout Upstate New York.
If the concrete is still in good condition, crack repair may help extend its life and improve safety. If the slab has also settled, we may recommend concrete lifting before repairing the cracks.
Why Concrete Cracks Happen
Concrete is strong, but it still moves over time. In Upstate New York, changing weather, frost, water, and soil movement can all put stress on concrete.
Common reasons concrete cracks include:
- Freeze-thaw cycles during cold winters
- Water getting under or inside the concrete
- Soil settlement below the slab
- Heavy traffic or heavy loads
- Poor drainage around the concrete
- Tree roots or shifting ground
- Concrete shrinking as it cures
- Sunken slabs pulling away from nearby sections
- Old joints or gaps that were never sealed
Some cracks are minor. Others may be a sign that the concrete has lost support underneath.
If your concrete is cracked because it has settled, our concrete slab leveling or driveway leveling services may be needed first. If the cracks are in a basement or foundation wall, visit our foundation crack repair page.

Signs You May Need Concrete Crack Repair
Cracks can start small and become worse over time. Repairing them early can help reduce water problems and prevent more damage. You may need concrete crack repair if you notice:- Cracks in your driveway, sidewalk, patio, or steps
- Cracks that are getting wider
- Uneven edges around the crack
- Water entering or sitting inside the crack
- Weeds growing through cracked concrete
- Cracks near sunken or uneven slabs
- Gaps between concrete sections
- Crumbling or broken edges
- Cracks around a garage floor or pool deck
- Concrete that looks unsafe or worn down
Our Concrete Crack Repair Process
Concrete crack repair should start with a clear look at the cause. Filling a crack without
understanding why it happened may not solve the real problem.
Step 1: Inspect the Concrete
We look at the crack, the nearby slabs, drainage, soil support, and any signs of settling. If the slab needs to be lifted first, we will explain that before recommending crack repair.
Step 2: Prepare the Crack
The crack area is cleaned and prepared so the repair material can bond as well as possible. Loose debris, weak edges, and dirt need to be removed before repair.
Step 3: Repair and Protect the Crack
We repair the crack using the method that fits the condition of the concrete. If needed, we may also recommend related services like joint sealing / caulking to help reduce water movement into joints and gaps.
Benefits of Concrete Crack Repair
Concrete crack repair can help protect your concrete and make the area safer to use. It is often a practical option when the slab is still stable and does not need full replacement.
Benefits include:
- Helps reduce trip hazards from rough or uneven cracks
- Helps keep water from entering open cracks
- Can slow down future damage from freeze-thaw cycles
- Helps protect the soil below the slab from washout
- Improves the look of cracked concrete
- Helps extend the life of existing concrete
- Costs less than replacing concrete in many cases
- Can be paired with lifting if the slab has settled
- Helps make driveways, sidewalks, patios, and steps safer to use
