What Types of Concrete Damage Can Be Repaired?
Think your concrete is too far gone? Not necessarily. In most cases, we can repair concrete damage without ripping everything out—as long as we catch it early and address the root cause. Whether it’s your driveway, patio, sidewalk, or garage floor.

Here's what we can typically fix
Cracks
Cracks are the most common complaint we see in Vacaville homes and commercial properties, but not all cracks are created equal:
- Static Cracks – These are non-structural and typically caused by concrete shrinkage, mild settling, or thermal expansion. They’re often cosmetic but still need sealing to prevent water intrusion.
- Dynamic or Structural Cracks – These are more serious. Often caused by expansive soils, poor drainage, or inadequate reinforcement, they indicate movement or pressure below the slab.
How we fix them
- Epoxy injection for structural bonding
- Polyurethane or hybrid sealants for flexibility
- Routing and sealing for active, moving cracks
According to the
National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA), a crack wider than
1/8 inch can expand by up to
300% in under 12 months—especially in areas with high moisture or temperature fluctuations. Sealing early saves money later.
Spalling or Scaling
Spalling looks like the surface is flaking, chipping, or breaking apart. It often happens on driveways, patios, and sidewalks exposed to:
- De-icing salts
- Freeze-thaw cycles
- Poor initial curing
Our solution
We use surface grinding or apply a
polymer-modified concrete overlay. In some cases, we’ll recommend
concrete resurfacing with a bonding agent for a smooth, durable finish that extends the life of the slab.
Sunken or Uneven Slabs
If your slab is tilting, dipping, or has created a trip hazard, it’s likely due to:
- Subgrade erosion
- Expansive clay soils common in Vacaville
- Poor compaction during original installation
Rather than replace the whole slab, we use polyurethane foam jacking (also called polyjacking)—a modern, non-invasive concrete lifting technique.
Why Polyjacking Works
- Cures in as little as 15 minutes
- Restores elevation to within 1/10 inch accuracy
- Causes minimal disruption to surrounding surfaces

A study by the
U.S. Department of Transportation confirmed that polyjacking is not only faster than mudjacking but also more stable and moisture-resistant over time.
Water Damage & Erosion
Unchecked water can quietly destroy your concrete from below. Look out for:
- Efflorescence (white mineral deposits)
- Hairline cracks that keep widening
- Standing water around the edges
If you're in low-lying areas of Vacaville like parts of Browns Valley or near Lagoon Valley, poor grading and stormwater runoff are common culprits.
How we fix it
- Installing French drains or sub-slab drainage
- Applying penetrating sealers and moisture barriers
- Slab edge sealing and retrofitting
vapor barriers under compromised areas
If water sits near your slab after a rain, don’t wait,
hydrostatic pressure and soil expansion can do more damage in a single season than years of wear and tear.

Our Concrete Repair Services in Vacaville, CA
Tailored Repairs for Homes, Sidewalks, Patios & Light Commercial Slabs
Whether you’re dealing with trip hazards on your front walkway, pool deck cracks, or sunken garage floors, Cubic Concrete Construction offers targeted, code-compliant concrete repair solutions. We serve residential and light commercial clients across Vacaville, Fairfield, Dixon, Suisun City, Davis, and other Solano County neighborhoods—with fast turnarounds and long-lasting results
Crack Repair & Concrete Sealing
Cracks are more than just an eyesore, they let in moisture, weaken the slab, and often signal underlying issues.
Our solutions include:
- Routing & Sealing: For surface-level cracks on
driveways, patios, or walkways, we widen and seal cracks with flexible, waterproof polyurethane or hybrid sealants.
- Epoxy Injection: Ideal for
structural cracks in load-bearing concrete. Bonds the slab back together internally—used in garages, foundations, and stairs.
- Urethane Foam Injection: Best for
leaking cracks around
basements, retaining walls, or pool decks. Expands inside the crack and blocks water permanently.
Great for properties in flood-prone areas of Suisun City and near Alamo Creek in Vacaville.
Slab Lifting & Concrete Leveling
Uneven slabs are a major liability, especially near entryways, sidewalks, and ADA-accessible zones.
We use polyurethane foam jacking, also known as polyjacking, to raise and stabilize slabs quickly.
Benefits:
- Non-destructive: No demolition required
- Fast Results: Walk on the slab within 30–60 minutes
- Precision Lift: Levels slab to within 1/10 inch of original elevation
- ADA-Compliant: Perfect for public pathways, ramps, or accessible patios
Ideal for lifting
garage floors in Dixon,
sunken walkways in East Vacaville, or
uneven patios in Fairfield.
Surface Resurfacing & Decorative Overlays
If your slab is structurally sound but visually worn or slippery, resurfacing is a cost-effective fix.

Our resurfacing options include:
- Micro-toppings: Thin layers that bond with existing concrete to refresh the surface. Great for
driveways and porches.
- Stamped or Decorative Overlays: Give your
patio or entryway a fresh, custom look without removing the old slab.
- Surface Finishes: Choose from
broom finish (for grip),
exposed aggregate, or
smooth trowel finishes depending on use.
Want to update a dated concrete porch in Davis? Resurfacing might be all you need.
Spall & Pothole Repair
Uneven slabs are a major liability, especially near entryways, sidewalks, and ADA-accessible zones.
We use polyurethane foam jacking, also known as polyjacking, to raise and stabilize slabs quickly.
Benefits:
- Non-destructive: No demolition required
- Fast Results: Walk on the slab within 30–60 minutes
- Precision Lift: Levels slab to within 1/10 inch of original elevation
- ADA-Compliant: Perfect for public pathways, ramps, or accessible patios
Ideal for lifting
garage floors in Dixon,
sunken walkways in East Vacaville, or
uneven patios in Fairfield.
Moisture Control & Drainage Fixes
Most concrete failures in Solano County trace back to poor drainage or trapped moisture under the slab.
We offer:
- Slab Edge Sealing: Stops water wicking into edges and causing internal damage
- Vapor Barrier Installations: Ideal for older homes without sub-slab moisture protection
- Surface Regrading & French Drains: Prevent pooling around patios, walkways, or garages
Homes in clay-rich areas of Fairfield and Davis are especially prone to subgrade moisture and shifting. Moisture control prevents up to
80% of premature concrete failures (source: PCA).

What Causes Concrete to Fail in Vacaville?
Concrete may look solid on the surface, but in Vacaville, many slabs fail due to hidden environmental and structural stressors. If you're noticing cracking, sinking, or surface flaking, it's likely not just age, it’s the local conditions at work.
Let’s break down the top reasons concrete fails in Vacaville and surrounding Solano County
Cause | Details |
---|---|
Expansive Clay Soils | Soil shrinks in dry months and swells during rains, causing slab movement. |
Poor Drainage | 20+ inches of rain per year can pool near slabs and weaken base materials. |
Thermal Expansion | Summer highs over 100°F cause expansion. Winters near 40°F trigger contraction. |
Improper Curing | Inadequate moisture retention post-pour weakens concrete by up to 50%. |
Thin or Unreinforced Slabs | Slabs without proper rebar or mesh crack under normal load. |
According to USDA Soil Survey CA644, much of Solano County has Clear Lake clay, a highly expansive soil type that can move slabs up to 3 inches seasonally.

Not Sure What's Causing Your Concrete Damage?
We don’t guess. At Cubic Concrete Construction, we offer on-site slab evaluations to inspect:

- Soil conditions
- Subbase strength
- Drainage patterns
- Slab thickness & reinforcement
- Moisture intrusion risks
Serving Vacaville, Dixon, Fairfield, Suisun City, Winters, and beyond.

Should You Repair or Replace Your Concrete in Vacaville?
Cracked concrete doesn’t always mean a total tear-out is needed. But when does it make more sense to repair your concrete—and when should you start from scratch with a full replacement?
Let’s break it down.
When Is Concrete Repair the Right Choice?
Concrete repair is often the smart, cost-effective solution when the damage is limited to the surface and the slab remains structurally stable. Here’s when we recommend repairing instead of replacing:
- The slab is intact, but has cosmetic flaws like cracking, spalling, or minor pitting
- Discoloration, flaking, or minor scaling (common in driveways and walkways)
- The damage hasn’t compromised the load-bearing strength of the slab
- No major erosion or voids underneath (confirmed via inspection)
- You want minimal downtime and budget-friendly results
A cracked front porch slab in Vacaville with no movement or subgrade problems can typically be repaired for less than 25% the cost of replacement.
When Is Full Replacement Necessary?
In some cases, repairing concrete is just a temporary patch on a failing foundation. You should consider slab replacement if:
- The slab has extensive cracking, shifting, or heaving
- There's evidence of subbase erosion, poor compaction, or sinking
- Rebar is exposed or rusting, indicating deep internal failure
- You're planning to build an addition or change usage (e.g., convert patio to garage)
- The slab is
less than 3.5" thick, poorly reinforced, or non-code compliant
In areas like Suisun City or East Vacaville—where
expansive clay soils are prevalent—deep slab movement often requires starting fresh with proper soil prep and rebar design.
Cost Comparison: Repair vs. Replacement in Solano County
According to HomeAdvisor, concrete repair averages $300–$2,000, while full replacement ranges from $4,000–$15,000+ depending on area and thickness.
In many residential cases, repairing can extend the slab’s life by 10–15 years—especially when paired with proper drainage correction and sealing.
Still Unsure? Let Us Evaluate Your Slab
We’ll never recommend replacement unless it’s truly necessary. Our on-site slab evaluations include:

- Ground-level and subgrade inspection
- Moisture and soil movement analysis
- Rebar condition assessment
- Load-bearing and structural review
Call Cubic Concrete Construction today for an honest, expert opinion—backed by engineering standards and real-world data.
How Can You Prevent Future Concrete Damage? (Essential Maintenance Tips)
Even well-poured concrete in Vacaville’s climate can deteriorate without proper care. The good news? A few proactive steps can significantly extend the life of your driveway, patio, walkway, or foundation slab.
Here’s how to maintain your concrete for long-term durability and appearance:
STEP
01
Seal Joints and Cracks Every 2–3 Years
Vacaville’s hot summers and chilly winters create expansion and contraction cycles. Left unsealed, joints and cracks let in moisture—which worsens in rainy months or freeze-thaw conditions.
- Use concrete-grade polyurethane or silicone sealants
- Focus on control joints, slab edges, and any visible surface cracks
- Ideal for driveways, sidewalks, patios, garage floors
According to the Concrete Pavement Technology Center, timely sealing can reduce moisture infiltration and increase concrete lifespan by 35–50%.
STEP
02
Pressure Wash Annually
Mold, grime, oil, and decomposing leaves not only stain your concrete but also introduce surface-level erosion and slippery conditions.
- Use a pressure washer with a concrete-safe nozzle (~2,000–3,000 PSI)
- Avoid harsh chemicals; opt for pH-neutral degreasers
- Spring or early fall is best in the Vacaville–Fairfield climate zone
STEP
03
Avoid Salt-Based De-Icers
Common de-icers contain ammonium nitrate or sulfate, which chemically break down the concrete’s surface over time—especially near steps, entries, and driveways.
- Use calcium magnesium acetate or sand for winter traction
- Rinse any chemical residue after storms
- Important in low-elevation frost-prone areas like Dixon or outskirts of Vacaville
STEP
04
Maintain Proper Drainage Around Slabs
Standing water is the enemy of long-term concrete performance.
- Ensure your yard or landscape slopes 2–5% away from slabs
- Clear debris from French drains, gutters, and weep holes
- Install drainage swales near patios or walkways in clay-heavy zones like Suisun City
STEP
05
Use Rubber or Flexible Expansion Joints
Over time, rigid joints can crack or lift under thermal or load pressure. Rubberized joints absorb stress and reduce cracking in
- Driveways with heavy vehicle traffic
- Patios with wide spans or decorative overlays
- Sidewalks along tree-rooted landscapes
Reseal Decorative Concrete Every 2–3 Year
Stamped, stained, or exposed aggregate slabs need extra protection against UV rays and surface abrasion. Apply a UV-resistant, breathable sealer with anti-slip additive.
Stay Ahead of the Cracks — Get a Pro Inspection Every Few Years
Even if your concrete looks fine, small issues can hide below the surface. We offer low-cost concrete condition assessments in Vacaville, Fairfield, Davis, Napa, and nearby areas—especially useful before rainy season or if you notice settling.

Call Cubic Concrete Construction for expert repair and protection strategies designed for Solano County’s soil and climate conditions.
Sealing alone can extend slab lifespan by 35–50%, based on Concrete Pavement Technology Center

Do You Need a Permit for Concrete Repair in Vacaville, CA?
Not all concrete repairs require city paperwork—but some definitely do. If you’re unsure, don’t guess. Here's what every Vacaville property owner should know about
permit requirements for concrete work.
When a Permit Is Not Required
For most minor or cosmetic concrete repairs, such as:
- Crack sealing or patching on private property (driveways, patios)
- Surface overlays on existing residential concrete
- Polyurethane foam jacking (slab lifting) that doesn’t alter slab dimensions or grades
These are generally considered
maintenance, not alterations—and
no permit is needed.
When a Permit Is Required in Vacaville
You’ll likely need approval from the City of Vacaville Building Division or Solano County Permit Center if:
- You’re modifying the slab’s structure or size
- The repair involves
public right-of-way, such as:
- Sidewalk panel replacement
- Driveway aprons near city streets
- You're installing or modifying ADA-accessible ramps or paths
- Work requires cutting into existing curbs, gutters, or utility infrastructure
Even routine sidewalk work can trigger ADA compliance checks or city inspections, especially in
Downtown Vacaville,
Leisure Town, or near schools and parks.
We Handle the Permitting So You Don’t Have To
At Cubic Concrete Construction, we stay current with all local permit rules and accessibility standards. Our team handles the full coordination process, including:
- Permit application filing with City of Vacaville or Solano County
- Coordination of pre-pour inspections (if required)
- ADA slope and width checks (when applicable)

How Much Does Concrete Repair Cost?
Concrete repair pricing varies based on the extent of damage, repair method, and site conditions—but we believe in being transparent from the start.

Here’s what you can expect to pay for common repair types in Vacaville and surrounding areas
Service Type | Avg. Price Range (Per Sq. Ft. or Job) |
---|---|
Crack Sealing | $3 – $6 / linear ft. |
Foam Jacking (Slab Lifting) | $8 – $15 / sq. ft. |
Spall Patching | $250 – $800 per spot |

Frequently Asked Questions About Concrete Repair in Vacaville, CA
Can all cracked concrete be repaired?
Not always. Hairline or moderate surface cracks—especially from shrinkage or weather exposure—can usually be repaired. However, if the slab has widespread cracking, structural displacement, or a failing subbase, replacement may be a more cost-effective and long-lasting solution.
Will the repair match the existing concrete color?
We do our best to match existing surfaces using color-matched patch materials and UV-stable sealers, but slight variations can occur due to concrete age and exposure. For patios and walkways, we also offer stained or decorative resurfacing options to create a uniform finish.
How long do concrete repairs last?
When done correctly and maintained, concrete repairs can last 10 to 25+ years. Epoxy injections, slab leveling with polyurethane foam (polyjacking), and resurfacing with bonded overlays offer long-term durability—especially if the root cause, like drainage or soil movement, is addressed.
How soon can I walk or drive on the repaired area?
That depends on the repair type. Polyurethane foam jacking cures within 15–30 minutes, allowing same-day use. Epoxy or overlay repairs may require 24–48 hours of curing. We’ll let you know exact timelines before we leave the site.
Is concrete repair cheaper than replacement?
In most cases, yes. Simple crack repairs can cost under $1,000, while full slab replacement often ranges from $4,000–$15,000+. Repair also avoids demolition, downtime, and permit costs—making it a smart choice for driveways, sidewalks, and patios with minor to moderate damage.
Does repaired concrete look new again?
While it won’t look freshly poured, quality repair can restore a clean, uniform appearance—especially with resurfacing or color enhancements. For visible areas like porches or commercial sidewalks, we recommend a decorative concrete overlay for the best curb appeal.
Are your repairs compliant with local building codes?
Yes. We follow ACI, ICRI, and NRMCA repair standards and coordinate with City of Vacaville and Solano County guidelines when needed—especially for right-of-way sidewalk repairs or ADA-compliant surface corrections.
