Concrete Repair & Leveling
Concrete Repair for Ogden, UT
Not every bad-looking slab needs to come out. A walk that dropped an inch at one joint, a driveway with a few hairline cracks or a patio that has gone rough and flaky on top can often be fixed with far less mess than tearing it out. Other times a repair is only a bandage: the slab is broken into pieces, the ground under it is washing away, or it has been sending water toward the house for years. We look at the cause, not just the crack, and tell you which kind of problem you have.
Around Ogden the usual causes are easy to spot once you know them. A downspout emptying next to the walk softens the soil until the slab drops. Backfill beside newer homes keeps compacting for years. Big old trees on older streets push slabs up as their roots grow. And salt plus freeze-thaw slowly peels the top off driveways and garage aprons. Leveling, crack filling, resurfacing and sealing each match one of those problems, and dealing with the water or the base keeps the same repair from being needed again next spring.

How it works
How a repair job works
- 1
Find the cause
We look at drainage, downspouts, trees and the soil around the problem, not just the crack itself.
- 2
Pick the fix
Leveling, filling, resurfacing, sealing or replacing a section, matched to what is actually wrong.
- 3
Talk about the water
You hear where water is getting under the slab, since a repair that leaves the water alone will not last.
- 4
Repair and protect
The repair is made, and a sealer afterward helps keep water and salt out so the fix holds longer.
Questions
Concrete Repair & Leveling FAQs
Why does concrete sink more on some lots than others?
It comes down to the soil and the water. Low ground toward the Great Salt Lake often has fine clay and silt that hold water and swell or shrink, while bench lots drain well but often have fill that settles. On any lot, water running under a slab from a roof or a sprinkler speeds up the sinking.
What makes a concrete repair cost more or less?
The size of the area, how far a slab has sunk, how many cracks there are and how easy the spot is to reach. Leveling a few walk sections is a small job, while resurfacing a whole driveway or replacing broken sections takes more material and time. When a slab is failing everywhere, repairs can add up past what a new slab would take, and the estimate should tell you so.
Do I need a permit to fix the sidewalk in front of my house?
Maybe. The public sidewalk along the street usually sits in the city's right-of-way, so many cities have their own rules about who repairs it and how. Repairs to your own walk, driveway and patio generally do not need one, but a quick call to your city settles it.
Will a leveled slab sink again?
It can, if whatever made it sink is still there. Leveling fills the empty space under the slab, but if a downspout keeps washing soil away or the ground is still settling, it may drop again. Fixing the drainage at the same time makes a big difference.
Can new concrete match the color of my old concrete?
Close, but rarely perfectly. New concrete starts darker and lightens as it cures and weathers, and old concrete carries years of sun and grime. Replacing whole sections between joints, rather than patching a spot in the middle, makes the difference look intentional.
