Concrete contractor in Indian Trail, NC

Surface cracks that are narrow and shallow can sometimes be sealed to slow water intrusion. When cracks run through the full depth of the slab, when sections have shifted up or down relative to each other, or when the surface is scaling and crumbling, replacement is the more durable solution. We look at the slab condition and the subbase beneath it before recommending either option.

Most garage floor cracking in Indian Trail's post-2000 subdivisions traces back to clay soil movement beneath a slab that was poured without adequate subbase preparation. Clay expands when wet and contracts when dry, and a slab sitting directly on clay loses support as the soil shifts. Corner cracks and center cracks are the most common result. A replacement pour on a compacted gravel base eliminates that movement at the source.

Yes. Concrete walkways are a straightforward addition on most Indian Trail lots. We match the finish and thickness to the existing driveway where possible and slope the walkway slightly away from the house so water drains off the surface rather than pooling near the foundation.

Block walls work well for the grade changes common on Indian Trail lots where the driveway sits higher than the adjacent yard. They hold the soil in place, give the property a clean edge, and handle the clay soil conditions in Union County when built with proper drainage behind them.
