Let’s have a word about “maintenance”…

As with your iPhone, one little crack can turn even the most pristine product into a blown-out tragedy. Maybe not a real tragedy. But frankly, foundational fractures are no joke. Some forms of deterioration can affect other structural members of a building. Think rust, think crumbling, think about gutting the whole thing. Exterior concrete is simpler, sure. But attending to your property and your concrete work regularly can save you time and money in a big way, should anything ‘worse’ arise. In fact, it’s not just about what’s visible. A simple crack could run pretty deep — especially if it’s a rebar or infrastructure issue — and you really ought to have a professional take a look.

As you might have suspected, this definitely depends on the severity of the damage. Be safe out there, folks. If you have concrete with a decorative finish or custom slabs, it may be difficult to DIY your touch-ups. We would recommend that you contact the business that originally installed or provided the concrete materials used. Their products or services may or may not include limited warranties. But at the very least, they’ll be able to provide you with the most accurate information on fixing their products.
