Concrete Repair in Bellaire TX

Concrete is one of the most robust materials on planet Earth, used in most construction jobs. We see it every day when we leave the house, as most people live in a "concrete jungle." As universally used as concrete is, it doesn't last forever. When subjected to the Texas elements, eventually, nature will win. When that happens, our concrete company will be there to help with concrete repair services in Bellaire, TX.


When concrete heats up, it expands. When concrete cools, it contracts. As tough as concrete is, over time, concrete will crack. Fortunately, concrete can tolerate a few cracks in cases like roads and sidewalks. However, there will come a time to need to repair concrete surfaces. When the structural integrity is in question, it's time for a repair.

Bellaire Concrete Construction repairs all sorts of concrete surfaces. From the typical streets and sidewalks to building foundations. Concrete repair is a service in high demand. As we mentioned before, most times when concrete is damaged, it retains its structural integrity. Most fixes are cosmetic. If the whole project doesn't have to be redone, that saves you time and money.


The different types of repairs depend on the extent of the damage that has occurred. Along with the type of damage, the type of surface dictates what materials are necessary to repair the concrete. Concrete repair is equal parts science as it is an art.

Other Services That We Offer:

Concrete cracks are the most common damage that's requested for repair. There are a few different types of cracks our team looks for. They can include shrinkage, expansion, heaving, settling, overloading, and premature drying cracks. Each crack requires a different method for fixing.

Plastic shrinkage concrete cracks are the most common types of cracks occurring in concrete. When concrete is drying, water evaporates leaving behind small pockets where the water once was. These pockets can be incredibly small making them difficult to detect. However, they can affect the structural integrity of the concrete so they need to be fixed.


Expansion concrete cracks occur in the presence of heat. The concrete heats, expands, and presses up to adjacent objects. If those objects aren't flexible, the concrete will crack. Measures can be taken during the initial construction phase of the project to minimize the chance of this to happen, but the damage can still occur.

Heaving concrete happen when the ground freezes and expands. In some places of the world, the ground freezing can move the earth several inches throughout the year. This mobility over time weakens the concrete and eventually cracks the concrete.


Settling concrete cracks is when the ground sinks after the concrete has been poured. This can happen for several reasons. If a healthy tree root dies after concrete has been poured over it, it will rot and leave a void in the earth. Sounds simple, but in some cases involving foundation, the whole project might have to be redone.

The last type of crack is called a premature drying concrete crack. If concrete dries too quickly, it can leave behind fine cracks. These cracks are mostly aesthetic and usually not a problem.

Knowing the different types of cracks is key for fixing the problem. Having a knowledgable expert will make the difference between a quality, long-lasting repair and something that will need another fix not far down the road.
