When Should You Repair or Replace a Concrete Driveway?

Not every crack means the whole driveway must go. Not every damaged surface can be patched into long-term reliability. The right choice depends on the type and extent of damage and the condition of the base underneath.

When Repair Can Make Sense

• Limited, stable cracks with a sound base
• Minor surface wear or isolated edge damage
• No significant settlement or heaving

When Replacement Is Often Better

• Widespread cracking or map cracking
• Noticeable settlement, low spots, or heaving
• Base failure or chronic drainage problems under the slab
• Surface that has scaled or deteriorated across large areas
