Slabs and Concrete Repair in Tullahoma, TN
#1 Slab and Concrete Repair Company in Tullahoma, TN
Concrete surfaces in Tullahoma are exposed to heat, humidity, and heavy rain each year. These conditions can cause cracks, sinking, and surface wear. Concrete repair and installation address both new construction and damaged concrete. The right approach depends on soil conditions, drainage, and daily use.
We Offer a Variety of Repairs and Slab Installations!
Concrete repair works well when the damage stays limited. Small cracks, surface scaling, and minor settling often qualify for repair. These issues may come from moisture movement or age. Repair restores strength and improves appearance without full replacement.
- Patching
- Routing and Sealing
Some concrete surfaces fail beyond repair. Wide cracks, severe sinking, and broken edges often signal deeper issues. Poor base preparation or long-term moisture damage can weaken the slab. In these cases, new concrete installation provides a lasting solution.

Our Process for Patching
Prepare and Clean the Damaged Area
First, we must prepare the hole or chipped area perfectly. We use a hammer and chisel or a grinder to remove all loose, weak, or unsound concrete until we hit solid, firm material. The area must be completely clean for the patch to stick.
Apply Bonding Agent and Patching Mix
Before applying the new material, we often treat the clean, prepared area with a concrete bonding agent or slurry. We press a mix firmly into the hole in layers, making sure to push out all air pockets. This dense packing creates a strong, void-free repair.
Finish and Cure the Patch
Finally, we finish the surface of the new patch to match the surrounding concrete. We use a trowel or float to smooth the material, feathering the edges so the patch blends in and is hard to see. Once the finish is right, the patch must be allowed to harden slowly—this is called curing. Proper curing gives the patching material maximum strength, ensuring the repair lasts a long time
Our Process for Sealing and Routing
Route the Crack into a Reservoir
The first crucial step is using a specialized concrete router or grinder to enlarge the crack into a uniform V-shape or square-shaped groove, which is called a reservoir. This creates enough space for the sealant to properly bond to the sides of the concrete. We follow a specific depth and width ratio to allow the sealant to stretch and move with the concrete as temperatures change. Routing must remove all weak or cracked material near the edge.
Clean and Prepare the Reservoir
After routing, the crack is filled with dust, debris, and small rock pieces. We must clean this out completely using a wire brush, followed by high-pressure compressed air or a vacuum. The reservoir must be perfectly dry and free of any dust, oil, or loose particles, which would prevent the sealant from sticking. For deeper reservoirs, we then install a backer rod at the bottom. This controls the depth of the sealant and ensures the sealant takes the proper shape for maximum flexibility.
Apply the Sealant and Finish
Finally, we fill the prepared groove with a flexible, high-quality sealant such as a self-leveling polyurethane or silicone material, which is ideal for horizontal surfaces like pool decks. We fill the groove slightly below the surface of the concrete to protect the sealant from foot and vehicle traffic. Once the sealant cures according to the manufacturer's directions, the repair is complete, sealing the crack and preventing water from getting into the ground underneath.
