Common problems

Hairline cracks. Usually cosmetic. They can be cleaned and sealed to keep water and weeds out.
Wider or growing cracks. May point to base problems, roots or heavy loads.
Sunken sections. Often caused by sand washing out from under the slab, poor compaction or a leaking downspout.
Lifted panels. Tree roots are a common cause in Ocala.
Scaling and spalling. The top surface flakes or pops off.
Stained or dated surfaces. Rust, oil or mildew.

Repair options a contractor may offer

Crack routing and sealing with a flexible sealant.
Slab lifting with injected grout or foam to raise a sunken section.
Grinding to remove small trip edges.
Resurfacing or overlays on a sound but tired slab.
Partial replacement of one or two bad sections.
Full replacement when damage is widespread. See driveway replacement.

Fix the cause first

Repairs last longer when the cause is handled. In Marion County that often means redirecting downspouts and sprinklers that wash sand out from under slabs, dealing with roots, and keeping heavy trucks off thin slabs. Ask the contractor what caused the damage.

Sinkholes

Marion County is in a part of Florida where sinkholes occur. Most sunken concrete is just settled sand, but if you see a fast-growing depression, cracks in the house or doors that suddenly stick, contact your insurance company and a qualified engineer or geotechnical firm, not just a concrete crew.

Protect yourself

Ask any contractor for proof of general liability and workers' compensation insurance, a written quote that lists thickness, square footage, finish and what is included, and who pulls any permit. Check the contractor's license status on the Florida DBPR site or with Marion County. Don't pay the full price before the work is done.

Areas

Questions people ask

Is a cracked driveway worth repairing?

Small, stable cracks usually are. Widespread cracking and sinking often makes replacement better value.

Will a patched crack match?

Patches rarely match perfectly. Resurfacing can even out the look on a sound slab.

What is slab lifting?

Material is injected under a sunken slab to raise it back toward level. It works best on slabs that are still in one piece.
