Replacing Concrete That No Longer Holds Up

Ironground Construction LLC removes and replaces damaged concrete for residential and commercial properties in Azle, Texas.

You see cracks widening across your driveway, uneven slabs that create tripping hazards, or sections that have settled below grade and now pool water after every rain. In Azle, these problems often stem from poor base preparation, shifting soil, or drainage that was never corrected during the original installation. Ironground Construction LLC assesses the damage, removes the failed concrete, and rebuilds the surface with proper grading and reinforcement so the new slab performs the way it should.

We replace driveways, patios, walkways, and structural slabs for homes and businesses across Azle. Each project starts with an evaluation to identify why the concrete failed, whether it is settling, surface deterioration, or water intrusion. Once we understand the cause, we remove the damaged section, address the underlying issue, and pour a new slab that matches the surrounding surface and meets current use requirements.

How We Remove and Rebuild Failed Concrete

Your replacement begins with breaking out the damaged concrete, hauling it off, and inspecting the base layer for problems that caused the original failure. In Azle, we often find insufficient compaction, missing drainage, or voids under the slab that let water undermine the surface. We regrade the area, add compacted fill, and install new reinforcement before pouring the replacement section.

After the new concrete cures, you will have a level surface that drains properly and matches the thickness and finish of the surrounding area. Our goal is to restore strength and appearance while preventing future issues. Replacing concrete correctly means addressing what caused the failure in the first place, not just covering up the damage with a fresh pour.

We do not perform decorative overlays or epoxy coatings, but we can match broom finishes and standard textures. Projects are scheduled based on weather, access for equipment, and curing time required before you can use the surface again. If adjacent sections are also failing, we evaluate whether partial or full replacement makes more sense for long-term performance.

Answers to Help You Decide What Comes Next

Property owners in Azle often ask whether they should repair or replace, how long the work takes, and what happens to the base under the old concrete. These answers address the details that affect cost, timing, and durability.

What signs mean concrete should be replaced instead of repaired?
If you see multiple cracks, sections that have sunk or heaved, or surface spalling across a large area, replacement is usually the better option. Patching hides the problem temporarily but does not fix the underlying cause.
How do you match the new concrete to the existing surface?
We match thickness, finish texture, and color as closely as possible using the same mix design and finishing techniques. Some color variation is normal as new concrete cures and weathers over time.
What happens to the base layer during replacement?
We inspect it after removing the old slab and regrade or add compacted fill if the base has settled or washed out. Proper base preparation in Azle prevents the new slab from failing the same way the old one did.
How long before I can drive or walk on the new concrete?
Light foot traffic is safe after 24 to 48 hours, but you should wait at least seven days before driving on it. Full strength develops over 28 days, and we provide specific guidance based on the project.
Why does drainage matter for concrete replacement?
Water that pools under or around concrete softens the base, creates voids, and accelerates cracking. We grade the area and install drainage solutions to keep water moving away from the new slab.
