Most
concrete contractors in Spokane treat crack repair like a Band-Aid solution – clean it out, fill it up, and hope for the best. That approach fails every single winter because it doesn't address why cracks form in our climate. Our proprietary repair system tackles the root cause of concrete failure in Eastern Washington.
First, we perform a comprehensive damage assessment using specialized tools to identify not just visible cracks, but underlying structural issues that traditional repairs miss. We test for proper drainage, measure frost depth penetration, and analyze the surrounding concrete's integrity. This isn't overkill – it's the difference between a repair that lasts one winter versus one that survives twenty.
Our repair compound isn't standard concrete patch material. We use a polymer-modified formula specifically engineered for Spokane's temperature extremes. This material expands and contracts with our seasonal temperature swings without losing adhesion, something regular concrete simply can't do. We also incorporate steel reinforcement bars for structural cracks and apply our exclusive waterproofing membrane that prevents moisture infiltration – the number one cause of crack expansion during freeze-thaw cycles. According to the
American Society of Civil Engineers, proper crack repair techniques that address moisture control are essential for long-term concrete durability in freeze-thaw environments.
