Fix the cause, not just the crack
Sacramento-metro specialty
About this service
Most concrete repair fails the same way it failed the first time — because the underlying cause was never diagnosed. A crack is a symptom. The cause might be settlement, root heave from a mature oak, expansive clay swelling in winter, an over-watered planter washing fines out from under the slab, or a poorly placed control joint that the slab finally found a way around. Patching the crack without diagnosing the cause guarantees you'll be patching it again in 18 months.
Our repair work starts with a free on-site inspection. We probe joints, sound the slab with a chain drag, check for pumping at the cracks, look at site drainage, and identify any root or moisture sources within 10 feet of the affected area. Only then do we recommend a repair path: epoxy crack injection for structural cracks in walls, polyurethane foam injection (slab jacking) for settled slabs, partial-depth patching for spalling, full panel replacement for slabs past the point of cosmetic recovery.
Repairs include addressing the underlying cause where we can — installing a root barrier, redirecting drainage, removing the soft soil, or correcting the slope. A repair that doesn't fix the cause is a temporary cover-up at best. We tell you up front if the right answer is replacement, not repair.
Working in Davis
Every Yoloneighborhood has its own soil, drainage, and permitting realities. Here's what we've learned pouring concrete in Davis.
Davis sits on alkaline alluvial Yolo soil with a relatively high water table in winter. The biggest concrete consideration here is the city's extensive bicycle infrastructure — properties often have side-yard bike paths or greenbelt connections that require specific finish textures and ADA-compliant transitions. Summer heat in Davis routinely tops 100°F, so we schedule pours pre-dawn and use a retarding admixture to keep working time reasonable.
City of Davis Public Works has specific bike-and-pedestrian-network requirements for any work touching the public path or sidewalk system — finish texture, slope, transition radius are all spec'd. We handle these submittals. UC Davis property has its own permit office; commercial work near campus needs that coordination. Davis is also strict on construction noise hours.
Driveway approaches that connect to the city's bike-path grid get a lot of our attention here — proper transitions are the whole job. Patio and outdoor-living work concentrates in Wildhorse, Mace Ranch, and Stonegate where lots are larger. Downtown Davis and Mace Ranch commercial give us a steady run of ADA upgrades, exterior flatwork, and bike-rack pad work.

What's Included
These are the specifications and details we build in by default. Not upgrades. Not extras. Standard scope on every project.
Every concrete-repair job starts with a free on-site inspection. We chain-drag the slab, probe joints, check drainage, and identify root or moisture sources before we quote a fix.
For settled but still-intact slabs (sidewalks, driveways, garage floors), we inject high-density polyurethane foam under the slab to lift it back to grade. Same-day use, no mudjacking mess.
Structural cracks in walls or slabs that need load transfer get low-viscosity epoxy injection. The epoxy is stronger than the original concrete and the crack is sealed permanently.
Surface spalling, joint deterioration, and small pop-outs are saw-cut to a clean square, the substrate is prepared, and a polymer-modified patch mix is bonded to the parent slab.
Cosmetically tired but structurally sound slabs get a 1/4 inch to 1.5 inch overlay — stained, stamped, or troweled. Far cheaper than tear-out and lasts 10–15 years with sealer maintenance.
When mature trees are heaving the slab, we install a vertical HDPE root barrier on the slab side of the trunk so the future regrowth doesn't push the new pour up again.
Our Process
Free site visit. Chain-drag the slab, probe joints, photograph cracks, identify drainage and root issues. You leave with a written cause analysis, not just a quote.
We tell you whether repair makes sense or replacement is the better economic call. If repair, we specify the method — injection, foam jacking, patch, or overlay.
Before the repair, we fix what made it fail: install a root barrier, redirect a downspout, replace soft sub-base, or correct the slope. Otherwise, the repair fails the same way.
Crack injection, polyurethane lift, partial-depth patch, or overlay. Performed by the same crew that diagnosed the problem — no hand-off, no information loss.
Sealer applied where appropriate. Final walk-through with the homeowner — we show you what we found, what we fixed, and what to watch for going forward.
