Concrete Crack Repair & Surface Prep in San Marcos, CA
Grinding, crack and spall repair, and old coating removal before a new floor goes down.
(760) 555-0100Concrete slabs in North County crack for all sorts of reasons, from normal shrinkage to soil movement on sloped lots. Before any coating goes down, cracks, pits, and spalled areas need to be repaired so they do not telegraph through the finish.
This step also includes removing old paint, sealer, or failed DIY epoxy. Grinding gives the concrete the surface profile a coating needs to bond.

- Uneven patches from old repairs
How the Process Works

Concrete Crack Repair & Surface Prep FAQs
Will repaired cracks come back?
Repairs fill and stabilize the surface, but if the slab is still moving, a crack can reappear in the coating. We will discuss any signs of ongoing movement.
Does my slab have a moisture problem?
Moisture coming up through a slab can cause coatings to fail. If there are signs of it, we will discuss testing and moisture-tolerant primer options.
