Do Not Let Summer End Without Repairing Your Concrete Surfaces Southwest Marietta, GA

As summer comes to a close, it’s essential to address any issues with your concrete surfaces to ensure safety and maintain the aesthetic appeal of your property. Driveways, sidewalks, steps, and pool decks are all prone to common concrete problems that can worsen over time if left unattended. At Anglin’s Foundation & Masonry Repairs, we offer effective solutions to these issues, including the innovative use of polyurethane foam. Here’s a closer look at common concrete problems and how polyurethane foam can fix them.

1. Driveways

Driveways often experience cracks and settling due to soil erosion, tree roots, and weather fluctuations. These cracks can expand, leading to uneven surfaces that are hazardous and unsightly. Spalling is another issue, which occurs when the surface layer of concrete peels or flakes off, often due to freeze-thaw cycles or poor concrete mix. Spalling can lead to a rough, uneven driveway that detracts from your home’s curb appeal.

2. Sidewalks

Sidewalks can become uneven due to ground movement or tree root growth. Uneven surfaces are a significant trip hazard, especially for children and the elderly. Similar to driveways, sidewalks are prone to cracking from ground settling and temperature changes. These cracks can widen over time, creating further safety hazards and an unattractive appearance.

3. Steps

Concrete steps can shift and settle over time, leading to uneven and unstable steps. This not only poses a safety risk but also diminishes the overall look of your entrance or patio area. Steps often bear heavy foot traffic, which can result in cracks and chips. These issues can make the steps unsafe to use and detract from their visual appeal.

4. Pool Decks

Pool decks are susceptible to cracking due to constant exposure to water and sunlight. These cracks can expand and create sharp edges that are dangerous for bare feet. The ground around a pool can settle unevenly, causing the pool deck to sink or become uneven. This can lead to water pooling in certain areas, creating slip hazards.

Polyurethane Foam Solutions

Polyurethane foam is an innovative solution that effectively addresses these common concrete problems. Polyurethane foam is injected into small holes drilled into the affected concrete area. The foam then expands, filling voids and lifting the concrete back to its original level. The foam cures quickly, often within minutes, allowing the concrete to be used almost immediately after the repair is completed. Benefits include:

  • Durability: Polyurethane foam is highly durable and resistant to water, preventing future erosion and settling. This makes it an ideal long-term solution for concrete repair.
  • Cost-Effective: Compared to traditional concrete replacement, polyurethane foam injection is more cost-effective, requiring less labor and material.
  • Minimal Disruption: The injection process is minimally invasive, with small holes and quick application. This means less disruption to your daily routine and faster project completion.
  • Eco-Friendly: Polyurethane foam is an environmentally friendly option, as it reduces the need for extensive concrete replacement and minimizes waste.

Don’t let summer end without addressing the common problems affecting your concrete surfaces. Driveways, sidewalks, steps, and pool decks are all prone to issues that can worsen over time, compromising safety and aesthetics. Anglin’s Foundation & Masonry Repairs offers a durable and cost-effective solution with polyurethane foam injection. This innovative method lifts and stabilizes concrete, ensuring long-lasting repairs with minimal disruption.

Tammy S.

From start to finish, everyone at Anglin's was amazing! Gus was responsive, always answered his phone, knowledgeable, professional, honest and fair. He went above and beyond to make a stressful situation less stressful. Scheduling was a breeze and the crew that arrived on the job (on time, I might add) were courteous, respectful and efficient. They allowed me to watch and take pictures, and explained the process step-by-step, as well as what results were to be expected. Iggy was so knowledgeable, professional and amazing. He was able to pin point a problem that 2 other competing companies couldn't explain or relay in layman's terms what needed to be done and why. He was an absolute superstar in easing the mind of the buyers purchasing the house. His 27 years experience was so valuable. Shelly was quick to send paid invoices and warranty information. Everyone did an amazing job and I would recommend them highly.

Penelope Greensmith

I cannot say enough good things about GUS at Anglin’s Foundation and Masonry! GUS, was fast and gave a free estimate on raising, reattaching and fixing my brick stairs. I will be sure to post before and after photos! Thank you GUS for your no nonsense, straight forward approach! Thank you for listening to me! The Greensmith’s

Regina Renee Kalasz

Today was a install of a 2nd beam for our house... first one was easy, 2nd one gave them a run for their money. But they stuck it out and got it done! Awesome work! I'd throw a + behind my 5 stars if I could. Sorry I held your crew up, but they were determined to get it done with no issues. So shout out to your team Chris, Leo and Dan!

Scott Lapin

The team that lifted our chimney was prompt, courteous and efficient. Other then the repair, you simply could not tell they were even there despite the fact they had to remove part of our deck to do the work. I would HIGHLY recommend them.

Melissa Reed

Diagnosis and estimate from a picture, arrived as scheduled, done in just a couple hours and results were absolutely amazing. Price, workmanship, clean up - everything was absolutely 5 star!! Highly recommend these folks!!! I must add, 2 other well known and much advertised companies came out and estimated 6x the work and price, claiming we had more issues than what was actually going on. These guys call it like it is - honesty and integrity are hard to find in construction.

Dana Brennan

This crew is top notch. Worked with the office and mainly with Gus on site who was great. Showed up early, super knowledgeable, tons of experience. We really felt served in the way he recommended only what needed to be done and at a great price. Had another company wanting to add in other extras and unnecessary work. HIGHLY recommend Anglin!!

Aaron Gray

Quick to call back and totally honest. I wasn't sure if I had a foundation issue or a flooring issue but after a few questions, Nathan helped to figure out that it thankfully wasn't a foundation issue. Insteand of trying to sell me a job, Nathan helped me to make a good decision. I hope I never have foundation issues but if I do, this is the company I'm hiring.

Jake Herman

Another masonry contractor referred us to Anglin because we had a concern about the structural integrity of our chimneys. We were told that they were the best people to talk to. I called them and they actually came by to assess my house within two hours. Although I was fully prepared to spend a lot of money to stabilize my chimneys, he did a full assessment and very honestly told me that my chimneys were fine and just needed some caulking where the mortar met the brick. I greatly respect his expertise and honesty and would recommend him without reservation.
