Driveway Repair: when you need it, cost factors, and quotes

Repair makes sense when the damage is local and the base is sound. Photos of the worst spots and a sense of how much of the drive is affected help a contractor decide between repair and replacement.

Questions to ask before you hire

  • Is this repairable, or is the base failing?
  • Will the patch match the rest?
  • Can the slab be lifted instead of replaced?
  • How long will the repair last?

Frequently asked questions

Can I just fill the cracks myself?

Small cracks can be sealed with store products. Wide, growing, or sinking cracks usually point to base or drainage problems worth a contractor's look.

What is slab lifting?

Raising a sunken concrete section by injecting grout or foam underneath, instead of replacing it. It works when the slab itself is intact.
