Concrete Services We Offer

Concrete Lifting With PolyLevel®

Uneven patios or sloping driveways don’t always need to be replaced. At G.L. Hunt, we use PolyLevel®, a modern polyurethane foam injection system that gently lifts sunken concrete back to its original position.

Unlike outdated mudjacking, PolyLevel is lightweight, non-invasive, fast-curing and built to last — making it the ideal solution for residential concrete hardscaping in Texas.

Cost Range: $6 – $15 per square foot

Concrete Caulking

Our caulking services seal joints and cracks in concrete surfaces, protecting them from water infiltration, erosion and shifting. This is a crucial step for homeowners looking to prevent further damage and extend the life of their hardscaping.

Cost Range: $250 – $750 per project

Concrete Sealing

Sealing protects concrete surfaces from Texas weather extremes, oil stains, UV damage and water absorption. Whether your surface is new or has been recently repaired, professional sealing helps preserve both function and appearance.

Cost Range: $1.50 – $3 per square foot

Should You Repair Or Replace Outdoor Concrete?

If your concrete driveway or patio is still structurally intact but showing signs of settling, cracking or fading, repair is typically more cost-effective than replacement. Services like PolyLevel lifting, joint caulking and protective sealing can restore beauty and safety without the disruption of a full replacement.

FAQs

Should You Fill A Crack In Concrete With More Concrete?

Filling a crack in concrete with more concrete can be effective, but in the Texas climate, it’s crucial to use the right materials and techniques. Small cracks should ideally be filled with a flexible concrete filler designed to accommodate movement. For larger cracks, a patching compound or professional assessment may be necessary to ensure long-lasting stability.

Why Does Concrete Crack?

In Texas, concrete can crack due to several factors, including the expansive clay soils that shift dramatically with moisture changes, as well as temperature fluctuations from hot summers to cooler winters. Additionally, settling and inadequate drainage can make cracks worse. Understanding the root cause of the cracks is vital for effective repair, which is why our team conducts inspections to address these common issues.

When Should I Be Worried About Concrete Cracks?

While minor surface cracks are common in Texas and often not a cause for concern, larger or widening cracks can indicate underlying structural issues. If you notice cracks that exceed a quarter-inch in width — especially after periods of heavy rain or drought — it’s essential to consult a professional. We can assess your concrete and provide the necessary repairs to ensure your property remains safe and sound.

How Do I Stop Concrete From Cracking?

To prevent concrete cracking in the Texas climate, proper installation techniques are crucial. This includes using a well-formulated concrete mix that can withstand local weather conditions and ensuring adequate curing to mitigate shrinkage. Regular maintenance, such as sealing and addressing drainage issues that can arise from heavy rains, will protect your concrete surfaces.

What Is The Best Method Of Concrete Leveling?

The best method of concrete leveling varies based on the extent of the settling. Techniques such as mudjacking and polyjacking can be effective. Given the shifting soils and moisture levels, G.L. Hunt’s experienced team can determine the most effective solution for your specific situation, ensuring a stable and level surface that can withstand Texas weather.

Can You Pour Concrete Over Existing Concrete?

Yes, you can pour concrete over existing concrete, but in Texas, proper surface preparation is essential due to our unique climate. This may involve cleaning, repairing cracks and applying a bonding agent to ensure a strong connection between the old and new layers. G.L. Hunt’s professionals can provide services that achieve the best results, helping prevent future issues.

Is Concrete Leveling Worth It?

Absolutely! Concrete leveling not only improves the aesthetics of your property but also enhances safety by eliminating tripping hazards created by uneven surfaces — especially after heavy rains. Additionally, it can extend the lifespan of your concrete surfaces and prevent further damage caused by the Texas climate.

How Can You Tell If A Concrete Crack Is Structural?

Determining if a crack is structural involves examining its width, depth and location. Structural cracks are often wider than a quarter-inch and may be accompanied by signs of shifting, especially after heavy rains or drought conditions. If you’re unsure, it’s best to consult a professional. Our inspection services can help identify the nature of your concrete cracks.
