Resurfacing is a highly recommended solution. Here are a few tips: Minor cracks that can be repaired must be filled before an overlay or coating can be installed. If the cracks are too large and deep, a replacement might be more appropriate. Heaving or shifting concrete must first be inspected by a pro to determine the cause of its movement. Once that is addressed and resolved, resurfacing can proceed. Extensive freeze-thaw damage often affects far past the surface of a concrete slab. Have a pro inspect the extent of the damage to determine if the top layer can be ground off before resurfacing or if a replacement is a better option.Working cracks are cracks that recur because of an ongoing issue, such as water or soil movement under the slab. If this is the case, some installers could still resurface the surface and then add custom scorelines in areas where cracks often occur. Such scorelines effectively disguise the cracks while giving the slab enough room to move without causing new cracks.
