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
