Why Concrete Fails
What causes concrete to chip and crack?
Concrete is pretty amazing stuff. It can be poured, shaped and made into just about anything you like. But even though it’s incredibly strong, it’s not indestructible. Cracking is inevitable because of the natural movement in concrete. You may also notice your concrete has chipped and flaked at the surface and that can be caused by water intruding into the pores of your concrete due to the area not being sealed properly.
The good news is with the right materials, equipment, and help from the experienced professionals at Concrete Coatings Repair & Restoration LLC, concrete damage can be repaired and prevented.

Cracked concrete is unsightly, but not all cracks are cause for concern.
Pitting, Flaking, and Staining
Moisture is concrete’s strongest enemy. It seeps into the pores of untreated concrete, and when temperatures drop, especially during freeze-thaw cycles, that trapped moisture expands as it turns to ice. This expansion destroys the pores and weakens the concrete. This results in concrete slabs that can pit and flake. Concrete’s porous nature also makes it susceptible to staining when left untreated.
When the top layer flakes away, the concrete surface is left patchy and pitted.
