Concrete Repair for Surface Pitting & Concrete Flaking

If your driveway, patio, sidewalk or garage floor has developed concrete pitting, flaking or spalling, the top layer of the slab is starting to fail. At Legacy Supportworks, we help homeowners all over TX protect concrete surfaces with SealantPro®, a penetrating concrete sealer that helps limit moisture intrusion and extend the life of your concrete.

By addressing surface damage early, you can often help slow further deterioration and avoid premature concrete replacement.

Symptoms

Signs Your Concrete Surface Is Wearing Away

Concrete pitting and flaking typically start as minor surface changes that get harder to ignore over time. You might notice a rough, pockmarked finish, small chips that expose the aggregate below or areas where the top layer begins to peel away (concrete spalling). Damage usually shows up first along slab edges, steps and other spots exposed to moisture and de-icing salts. If your concrete feels rough underfoot in spots that used to be smooth, the surface layer has likely started to fail.

Causes

What Causes Concrete Pitting, Flaking & Spalling?

Surface damage to concrete doesn't develop overnight. Concrete pitting typically starts as small holes or shallow dips in the surface. As the deterioration progresses, the surface may begin flaking, and in more advanced cases, concrete spalling can occur as larger pieces break away. Much of this damage comes from years of exposure to moisture, freeze-thaw cycles, de-icing salts and everyday wear. Knowing what's driving the deterioration helps determine whether the concrete can be protected or if more extensive repairs are needed.

  • Poor Concrete Finishing

    Concrete finished or cured incorrectly tends to develop surface damage over time.

    If the slab was overworked, finished too early or didn’t cure the way it should have, the surface layer may be weaker than the concrete beneath it. As the slab ages, that thin layer can start to wear away, exposing aggregate and creating a rough, pitted appearance.

  • Moisture Intrusion

    Water is among the biggest contributors to long-term surface deterioration in concrete.

    Moisture that enters unprotected concrete can carry dissolved minerals, create internal pressure during freezing weather, and slowly weaken the surface. White, powdery efflorescence is often a sign that moisture is moving through the concrete and bringing minerals to the surface.

  • Age & Surface Wear

    Years of traffic and weather gradually wear down unprotected concrete surfaces.

    Driveways, patios, sidewalks and pool decks take constant exposure to foot traffic, vehicles, UV rays, rain and changing temperatures. As the surface wears down, small imperfections can spread into larger areas of concrete flaking and pitting if left unprotected.

  • Lack of Concrete Sealing

    Unsealed concrete is far more vulnerable to moisture damage and surface breakdown.

    Without a penetrating sealer, concrete easily absorbs water and contaminants that speed up deterioration. Applying SealantPro® helps block moisture intrusion and can add years to your concrete by protecting it from the inside out.

How Concrete Pitting & Flaking Takes Hold Over Time

  • Stage 1

    A Healthy Concrete Surface

    Concrete begins with a dense, smooth surface that naturally resists moisture and everyday wear. When properly protected, it can withstand years of exposure to weather, traffic, and seasonal changes.

  • Stage 2

    Weather & Moisture Begin to Break It Down

    Over time, water, de-icing salts, UV exposure and freeze-thaw cycles begin wearing away the concrete surface. Once water penetrates the slab, repeated freezing and thawing weaken the surface layer and hasten deterioration.

  • Stage 3

    Visible Pitting, Flaking & Spalling

    As the surface fails, small pits, chips and flakes begin to appear. Left untreated, the damage continues to spread, exposing more concrete to moisture and speeding up deterioration. SealantPro® works to protect concrete against additional moisture intrusion, slowing future surface deterioration and extending the life of the slab.

How It Works

How Legacy Supportworks Protects Pitted & Flaking Concrete

Step 1

Free inspection

Every project begins with a free inspection by a Legacy Supportworks Design Specialist. We’ll look closely at the condition of your concrete, determine whether the damage is limited to the surface or indicates a larger structural issue and recommend the solution that fits your home.

Step 2

Prep the Concrete Surface

Prior to sealing, the concrete is cleaned thoroughly to remove dirt, debris, stains and contaminants that could prevent proper penetration. The surface is then left to dry so SealantPro® can absorb deep into the concrete instead of sitting on top.

Step 3

Apply SealantPro®

SealantPro® is applied by our trained crew across the concrete surface, where it soaks deep into the pores of the slab. Rather than a topical coating that wears away, it bonds within the concrete itself to help block moisture, road salts and other damaging contaminants.

Step 4

Cure & Conduct Final Inspection

SealantPro® cures in just a few hours, so most concrete surfaces can be used the same day. Before heading out, your crew will verify the application was completed correctly and answer any questions about caring for your newly protected concrete.

Don't just take our word for it

See what our customers have to say about our work.

Legacy SupportWorks was referred to me by Bernie Sanders with Sir Speedy. When doors began to not close properly and there were noticeable gaps between the floor and molding, we knew it was time to get some foundation work done on our home. We shopped around and were pleased with the value and responsiveness of Legacy Support Works. I felt comfortable with them in my home, they delivered what they promised when they promised and left my home clean. From Tessa who made the initial contact, to the gentleman putting my carpet back in place, customer service was outstanding.

When Karen H. saw some cracks on her wall, she knew something was wrong. She first called a local contractor and they told her that the cracks were being caused by the trees in her backyard. Karen wasn’t convinced by their explanation so she decided to get a second opinion and called Legacy Supportworks. In this video she talks about the experience she had with the company and why she was confident to hire them as the right company for the job. “What we got from Legacy Supportworks was not just a company that will be there for us through the whole process, but be there for us through any other problems that we have in the future”, says Karen.

Before & after photos

Check out before and after photos from some of our completed projects.

  • Stabilizing a Crawlspace in Pampa, TX

    This home had crawlspace beams that were cracking and lacked stabilization. 

    Years of shimming had only been a “band-aid” fix and this customer was looking for a permanent solution.

    Our crew installed steel beams and steel smartjacks on engineered fill.

    The result was a permanently stabilized floor!

  • Concrete Repair in Spearman, TX

    A customer reached out after seeing a video of concrete lifting using injection methods and wondered if it could work for their front porch. Their home, built in 1968, features a large concrete porch with a section that originally had a planter between it and the house. At some point, the planter was covered with concrete, which has since sunk about 4 inches. Both sections measure approximately 8×12. While the porch itself was fine, they wanted a solution to lift the concrete over the old planter rather than starting from scratch. Legacy inspected the situation and provided a tailored solution to restore their home.

  • Foundation Repair in Guymon, Oklahoma

    Just four years after adding a first porch for relaxation, a homeowner in Guymon, OK found himself facing a disheartening problem – his beloved porch had settled a shocking 2 feet into the ground, taking his dreams of peaceful rocking chair afternoons with it. As depicted in our before photo, this alarming sinkage rendered the space unusable. To lift and stabilize the sinking structure, we deployed our trusted Push Pier system, meticulously engineered to provide strength and elevation from deep below the surface. The transformation is apparent in the after photo, where the porch now stands level and secure, promising many future years of comfort and stability. At Legacy Supportworks, reviving your home’s foundation to ensure lifelong enjoyment and safety is not just our mission—it’s our commitment to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does concrete pitting and flaking repair cost? 2026-10-05T14:15:23-05:00

The cost of repairing pitted or flaking concrete depends on the size of the area, the condition of the surface, and whether additional services are recommended, like NexusPro® concrete caulking for cracks and joints. In most cases, sealing concrete is much more affordable than replacement. The best way to nail down pricing is a free inspection and written estimate from a Legacy Supportworks Design Specialist. 

What is SealantPro® and how does it work? 2026-10-05T14:14:44-05:00

SealantPro® is a proprietary penetrating concrete sealer designed to protect concrete from the inside out. Instead of creating a coating on the surface, it penetrates deep into the concrete where it reacts within the material to help block water, road salts and freeze-thaw damage. That means longer-lasting protection that can significantly extend the life of your concrete. 

Can flaking concrete be fixed without replacing it? 2026-10-05T14:14:09-05:00

Yes. In many cases, concrete with surface pitting or flaking can be treated without replacing the slab. If the damage is limited to the surface, SealantPro® concrete sealing penetrates deep into the concrete to help protect it from additional moisture, salt and freeze-thaw damage. Full replacement is typically only needed when the concrete has extensive structural deterioration rather than just surface wear. 

Is pitted or concrete flaking dangerous? 2026-10-05T14:13:40-05:00

While pitted or flaking concrete usually isn’t a structural concern, it can create safety hazards. Rough surfaces can catch shoes, chipped areas can become tripping hazards, and pitted concrete often holds water that freezes into slippery patches during colder months. Untreated, those damaged areas let additional moisture into the concrete, causing surface deterioration to spread. 

What causes my concrete to flake and pit? 2026-10-05T14:13:07-05:00

Concrete pitting and flaking are usually caused by a combination of moisture, freeze-thaw cycles, de-icing salts, harsh chemicals and normal weathering. In some cases, the concrete mix or the finishing process during the original pour also plays a role in surface deterioration. Together, these conditions break down the concrete’s top layer, causing the surface to become rough, chipped or flaky over time.
