Concrete Repair & Resurfacing in Provo & Utah County, UT

Utah’s climate is hard on concrete. Dozens of freeze-thaw cycles every winter, expansive clay soils that swell and shrink with moisture, and years of vehicle traffic and de-icing salt all take their toll. The good news: not every damaged slab needs a full tear-out. Understanding whether to repair or replace — and choosing the right repair method — can save you thousands. Bedrock Concrete Pros will give you an honest assessment and the full range of options at your free estimate.

Concrete Repair Services We Offer

We handle the full spectrum of concrete repair in Utah County and across the Wasatch Front. Whether it’s a hairline crack in a sidewalk or a badly spalled driveway that needs resurfacing, we have the right solution.

• Crack repair — polyurethane or epoxy injection for structural cracks; flexible sealants for control-joint and surface cracks to stop water intrusion before it worsens.
• Spalling repair — patching and resurfacing surface spalls caused by freeze-thaw cycling, de-icing salt, or a weak surface layer on the original pour.
• Slab leveling & lifting (mudjacking) — hydraulic lifting of sunken slabs by pumping a grout slurry beneath the concrete to fill voids and raise the slab back to grade.
• Grinding & trip-hazard removal — concrete grinding to eliminate raised edges and unlevel joints that create tripping hazards on driveways, sidewalks, and walkways.
• Resurfacing & overlays — a new bonded wear layer applied over structurally sound existing concrete to renew the surface, hide cosmetic damage, or change the finish.
• Concrete demolition & removal — full break-out, removal, and haul-off of old, failing, or unwanted concrete slabs when repair no longer makes sense.

Repair vs. Replace: How to Decide

This is the question we get most often, and the honest answer is: it depends on the slab’s condition, its age, and what you’re trying to accomplish. Here’s a practical guide:

At your free estimate, we’ll take an honest look and tell you which path makes more sense — we won’t push replacement when repair will do the job, and we won’t patch a slab that’s past saving.

Slab Leveling & Mudjacking in Utah

Settled or sunken concrete is common in Utah, especially in areas with expansive clay soils like much of Utah County. When soil beneath a slab washes away, compresses, or shifts, sections of concrete sink and create uneven surfaces, trip hazards, and drainage problems. Mudjacking — also called slab lifting or pressure grouting — is often the most cost-effective fix.

The process involves drilling small holes through the sunken slab, pumping a grout or cementitious slurry beneath it to fill the void and hydraulically lift the concrete back to its original position, then plugging the holes. When it works (and it works best when the concrete slab itself is in good structural shape), it’s significantly less expensive than tearing out and repaving. Areas where mudjacking is commonly used include driveways, sidewalks and walkways, patio slabs, and pool decks.

Not every sunken slab is a mudjacking candidate. If the concrete is crumbling or fractured, or if the void is too large to fill economically, replacement is usually the better path. We’ll evaluate your slab and tell you honestly what makes sense.

Concrete Resurfacing & Overlays

Resurfacing is one of the most underused options in concrete repair. If your driveway, patio, or walkway is structurally intact but looks worn, pitted, or dated, a bonded overlay can give it a fresh, attractive surface at a fraction of the cost of replacement. Overlay materials bond chemically and mechanically to properly prepared existing concrete, creating a new wear layer that can be finished in a variety of ways.

• Thin-set overlays — typically 1/4"–3/8" thick, applied for surface renewal on sound existing concrete; ideal for driveways and patios
• Textured resurfacing — broom or trowel finish to match or refresh the original surface texture
• Stamped overlays — decorative patterns pressed into the fresh overlay for a high-end look without full replacement
• Color and stain overlays — integral color or acid-stain finishes applied to the new surface

Proper preparation is everything with overlays. The existing surface must be cleaned, profiled (usually with grinding or shot-blasting), and any structural cracks addressed before resurfacing. Skipping prep is the primary reason overlays fail early. After resurfacing, we recommend applying a quality sealer — see our concrete sealing services for details.

Concrete Demolition & Removal

Sometimes the most practical answer is a clean start. When an existing slab is beyond economical repair — widespread cracking, a failed base, severe settling, or simply the wrong layout for your needs — we handle complete concrete demolition, break-out, and haul-off. This includes:

• Driveway demolition — full break-out and removal of old concrete driveways, including the apron, before a new concrete driveway is poured
• Patio removal — clearing old patio slabs to make way for a new design or landscaping
• Sidewalk & walkway removal — section-by-section or full-run removal of damaged or out-of-grade concrete
• Slab removal — garage floors, shed pads, or other slabs that need to come out
• Partial demolition — removing only the damaged sections when the rest of the slab is worth keeping

All demolition debris is loaded and hauled off-site — you won’t be left with a pile of broken concrete in your yard. We can also handle base preparation and sub-base compaction for the new pour.

What Does Concrete Repair Cost in Utah?

Repair costs vary widely depending on the scope, method, and condition of the existing slab. Here are general ranges to help you plan:

Why Utah Concrete Needs More Attention

Utah’s climate creates concrete stress that homeowners in milder climates don’t deal with. Here’s what’s actually working against your concrete:

• Freeze-thaw cycling — Water that infiltrates cracks or a porous surface expands 9% when it freezes, progressively widening cracks and forcing chunks of surface concrete to delaminate (spalling). Utah County sees 100+ freeze-thaw cycles per year in some years.
• De-icing salts — Road salt and magnesium chloride deicer accelerate spalling dramatically, especially on concrete less than a year old. Avoid them on new concrete, and use sand instead for traction the first winter.
• Expansive clay soils — Much of Utah Valley sits on clay that expands when wet and shrinks when dry. This movement under a slab causes settling, cracking, and heaving over time — and it’s why proper base prep matters so much on new pours.
• Hot, dry summers — Rapid drying during the summer can cause shrinkage cracking in new concrete if it isn’t properly cured. This is also why sealing matters year-round, not just in winter.
