Concrete Repair And Replacement In Des Moines
When concrete is cracked through, heaving, sunken or spalling, Medina Concrete tears out the damaged section and re-pours it, including driveways, walks, patios and concrete steps, around Des Moines. If it is past patching we replace it, and we tell you straight which one your concrete needs after a free in-person look.
Concrete Repair & Replacement, Done Right Underneath
Iowa winters are hard on concrete. Water gets into cracks and under slabs, freezes and expands, and over a few winters slabs lift, sink and break apart. Patching a slab whose base has moved rarely holds through another winter.
Small, isolated damage can sometimes be handled without replacing the whole slab. We look at it in person for free and tell you which one it is.
- Driveways, walks or patios with cracks that run through and keep widening
- Slabs that have lifted or dropped, leaving trip edges
- Surfaces flaking or pitting after winters of salt and ice
- Concrete steps that are broken or sinking
- Water pooling against the house or garage

Signs it's time to replace, not patch
Slabs that have lifted or dropped, cracks that run all the way through and keep widening, surface flaking or pitting across a big area, and water pooling against the house or garage usually mean the problem is the base, not the surface. That calls for a tear-out and re-pour.

Should I repair or replace my cracked concrete?

Small, isolated damage can sometimes be handled without replacing the whole slab. We look in person for free and tell you which.
