Most concrete jobs in Montgomery could have been smaller (and cheaper) if the homeowner had caught the signs earlier. This guide breaks down the 5 most common warning signs we see in Montgomery homes — and what to do when you spot them.
small surface cracks under 1/8 inch wide is the earliest warning sign we see in Montgomery homes. It often appears months before the larger problem becomes obvious, which makes it the most valuable indicator to catch.
Second on the list: concrete surface flaking or spalling (small chips lifting away). This one’s harder to ignore than the first, but homeowners often blame other causes. In Montgomery specifically, it usually points to one underlying issue.
Third indicator: slabs that have settled unevenly, creating tripping hazards. By this point, the issue has usually been developing for 3–6 months. Addressing it now is still much cheaper than waiting until it’s visible from across the room.
Fourth: cracks wider than 1/4 inch, especially if they run through multiple slabs. At this stage, repair costs typically double compared to addressing the earlier signs. Don’t wait past this point.
Fifth and most serious: exposed rebar or wire mesh visible through cracked concrete. This indicates an advanced stage of the issue and often involves repair work beyond the immediate area. Address it immediately.
