Is it normal for a new build's patio slab to crack within the first year? In Allen, yes, more often than homeowners expect. New subdivisions sit on clay that's still settling under fresh concrete, and patios move as that settling continues.

Allen Concrete Lifting releveling fixes the uneven surface and seals the crack that came with it, without tearing the slab out and starting over.

FAQs

Patio Repair and Releveling FAQs

Is it normal for a new build's patio slab to crack within the first year?

It happens often in growing areas like Allen and Lucas. Fresh clay soil under a new slab keeps compacting for a year or two after the pour, and the slab moves with it.

How long will concrete lifting last on a patio?

Once the void is filled and the crack is sealed, the fix typically holds for years, assuming no new major settling happens nearby.

Can you fix a cracked patio without lifting it?

You can seal a crack cosmetically, but if the slab is still settling underneath, the crack usually comes back. Addressing the void first gives the seal something stable to hold onto.

Does patio releveling work with pavers or is it concrete only?

This service is for poured concrete patio slabs. Paver systems settle differently and use a different repair approach.

What causes furniture to rock on an otherwise flat-looking patio?

A slight dip, sometimes less than half an inch, is enough to rock a table. It's usually the first visible sign of settling before cracks even show up.
