Mercer Island Concrete Pad Repair Services

Hey there, Mercer Island homeowners! Are you tired of dealing with sunken corners, tripping hazards, or those annoying puddles on your patios or walkways? Don’t let concrete issues stick around any longer! Our friendly team at Neat & Tidy is here to help you lift, level, and repair your concrete surfaces. We even tackle the drainage problems that caused these issues in the first place, so you can enjoy a safe and beautiful outdoor space all year round.

What’s the Problem?

Concrete surfaces can develop a range of pesky issues, including:

• Settlement & Trip Hazards — Uneven panels can lead to dangerous falls for you and your guests.
• Ponding Water — Standing water against your home’s siding or steps can lead to further damage over time.
• Cracks & Spalling — Mercer Island’s winter moisture combined with poor base conditions can result in unsightly chipping and flaking.
• Moss/Algae Slicks — Shaded areas can become slippery, while joints may be a hotbed for dirt and weeds.
• Tree Root Lift — Invasive roots can disrupt the integrity of your concrete edges and cause further issues.

How We Fix Concrete Pads (and Keep Them Fixed)

Here’s how we ensure that your concrete stays in tip-top shape:

1. Assessment & Mapping — We’ll take a close look to identify the underlying causes of your concrete issues, such as downspouts, base failure, roots, or improper grading.
2. Lift & Level — Utilizing foam-jacking or mudjacking, we raise settled panels and smooth out those trip hazards.
3. Drainage Corrections — We’ll redirect those pesky downspouts, install channel drains or catch basins, or create swales to ensure proper water flow away from the slab.
4. Crack Repair — We meticulously chase and fill active cracks, and use structural dowels for clean breaks when necessary, so your surface looks as good as new!
5. Surface Rehabilitation — We perform light grinding to smooth lips and apply a polymer-modified patch/overlay on small spalls and edges.
6. Section Replacement — For those severely damaged panels, we’ll saw-cut, compact a new base, and pour fresh concrete to perfectly match the existing surface.
7. Moss & Weed Cleanup — We ensure a gentle wash (no joint blasting), apply biocide as needed, and re-sand or caulk joints at transitions to keep everything looking sharp.
8. Root Conflicts — We coordinate with arbor care to prune roots and install root barriers or re-route walkways as necessary.

At Neat & Tidy, we don’t believe in quick fixes. If your base or drainage is off, we’ll fix that first—or we’ll recommend a proper replacement.

Repair vs. Replace

• Repair is your go-to option when: settlement is manageable, the base can be stabilized, and drainage can be effectively corrected.
• Replace makes more sense when: slabs are extensively damaged, the base is inadequate, or roots will continue to cause lifting. We’ll give you an honest assessment and guide you on the best course of action.

Best Timing for Mercer Island

The ideal time for repairs and installations is Spring to Fall, when the weather is dry and temperatures are between 45–80°F. We steer clear of heavy rain periods to ensure the best results for overlays and new pours.

Our Annual Maintenance Plan (Your Hardscape’s Routine)

Want to keep your concrete surfaces looking pristine? Our annual maintenance plan has got you covered! It includes:

• Joint & Caulk Checks — We seal small gaps to prevent water from sneaking under your slabs.
• Moss & Algae Control — Seasonal treatments help maintain grip on surfaces in those shady areas.
• Drainage Tune-Ups — Regular checks on channel and basin grates, along with downspout adjustments, keep everything flowing smoothly.
• Spot Grinding/Edge Touch-Ups — We keep lips under ¼” for ADA compliance and safety.
• Root/Edge Patrol — Early intervention to catch lift before cracks form, keeping your concrete safe and sound.

At Neat & Tidy, we’re all about low-maintenance landscaping. Fewer problems mean less work for you!

Service Cadences (Pick What Fits)

Choose the maintenance schedule that works best for you:

• Quarterly — Includes a spring/fall reset with two light tune-ups.
• Bi-Monthly — Perfect for shaded, moss-prone, or high-traffic slabs.

(For fresh repairs or heavy leaf drop, starting with a monthly schedule for 60–90 days is ideal, then taper off.)

What Annual Maintenance Includes

Your annual maintenance package includes:

• A thorough walkthrough & photo log of any settlement, cracks, and drainage issues.
• Light cleaning, moss/algae treatment, and joint re-sand/caulk as necessary.
• Drainage inlet cleanout; checks on downspouts and leaders.
• Minor grind/patch on new lips and edge failures.
• Continuous monitoring of root/soil conditions at slab edges and fence lines.

Why Annual Maintenance Matters

Regular maintenance offers a plethora of benefits:

• Safety — Reduces the risk of slips and trips for you and your guests.
• Longevity — A dry base leads to fewer voids and less settlement over time.
• Aesthetic Appeal — Clean edges and even planes are far more visually appealing than patchwork fixes.
• Cost Efficiency — Timely small corrections help prevent the need for costly full replacements down the line.
