What Ann Arbor Homeowners Should Know About Concrete Repair
Concrete in Ann Arbor moves. The heavy clay soil under most of the city swells when it gets wet and shrinks when it dries out. Add freeze-thaw cycles that repeat 50 or 60 times a winter and you get cracks, sunken slabs, and spalling surfaces faster than you would almost anywhere else. A lot of homes in Burns Park, Kerrytown, and the Old West Side were built in the 1940s and 1950s, and their concrete has been putting up with this for decades.
We start by figuring out why the concrete moved before we touch it. If we fill a crack without fixing the soil or drainage underneath, that crack comes back — usually wider. We use foam leveling for sunken slabs when the base is still solid, and full slab replacement when the base is too far gone to trust.

How much does concrete repair cost in Ann Arbor?
There is no single number because the job varies a lot. A small crack fill on a patio is a short job. A sunken driveway slab in Ann Arbor that sits on soft clay fill is a much bigger one. The size of the damaged area, what caused it, and whether the base needs work all affect what it costs. Call for a free estimate.
Why does concrete crack so much in Ann Arbor?
The main reason is the clay soil. It expands when it absorbs water and shrinks when it dries out. That movement works on concrete from underneath all year long. The freeze-thaw cycle makes it worse — the ground around here can freeze and thaw 50 or more times between November and March, and that pushes slabs up and cracks them.
Can I wait to fix a cracked driveway or does it need to happen now?
Small hairline cracks can wait a short while, but they do not stay small. Water gets in, freezes, and makes the crack wider every winter. If a slab has shifted or there is a lip that someone can trip over, that is a safety problem and should not wait. Getting it looked at costs nothing.
What is the concrete repair process from start to finish?
We come out and inspect the slab and the area around it to figure out why it moved or cracked. Then we give you a written quote explaining what we will do. Once you approve it, we do the repair — whether that is crack filling, foam leveling, or a full slab replacement. We clean up the site before we leave.
