Our Sealing Solutions:
Penetrating Concrete Sealers
These sealers absorb into the concrete, forming a protective barrier within the pores, preventing water intrusion without altering the surface appearance. They offer robust long-term defense.
Acrylic Concrete Sealers
Applied as a topical coating, acrylic sealers provide a sacrificial layer that enhances aesthetics with gloss or matte finishes, offering excellent UV and stain resistance.
Joint & Crack Sealing
Specialized flexible sealants are meticulously applied to fill and protect concrete joints and existing cracks, preventing water and debris from entering the slab’s substrate.
Concrete Waterproof Coating
A durable barrier applied to the surface, this coating repels water, resisting freeze-thaw damage, chemical spills, and wear for maximum surface protection.

Understanding the Root Causes of Concrete Deterioration
The Environmental Factors Behind Concrete Damage
Ogburn Concrete Leveling & Resurfacing helps you understand the primary culprits behind common concrete problems, from cracking to spalling.
Ogburn Concrete Leveling & Resurfacing understands that water infiltration is the primary cause of common problems like cracking and spalling, leading to costly deterioration over time. Ogburn Concrete Leveling & Resurfacing understands the damaging effects of Richmond, VA’s seasonal freeze-thaw cycles on unsealed concrete. Ogburn Concrete Leveling & Resurfacing knows that when water penetrates cracks and joints, it expands by approximately 9% when frozen, causing significant internal stress and exacerbating damage. Ogburn Concrete Leveling & Resurfacing recognizes that this cycle leads to problems like Cracked Concrete and Uneven Concrete Slabs.
Early Detection Prevents Costly Concrete Damage
Recognize Concrete Warning Signs in the Greater Richmond Area
Ignoring early indicators of concrete distress can lead to severe and expensive problems. Ogburn Concrete Leveling & Resurfacing helps you identify issues before they escalate by recognizing the visible signs of concrete distress. Our experts specialize in repairing cracked concrete to stop minor fissures from becoming major structural failures.
Common Concrete Problem Signs:
Hairline Cracks Appearing
If you notice thin, surface-level cracks, these are often the first sign of water intrusion and foundational stress, potentially signaling the need for concrete sealing. Acting quickly can prevent deeper fractures.
Surface Spalling or Flaking
When the concrete surface begins to chip or flake away, it indicates water damage and freeze-thaw degradation. This significantly weakens the slab and diminishes its aesthetic appeal and structural integrity.
Pitting and Discoloration
Small craters or widespread staining on your concrete can indicate moisture absorption, chemical exposure, or salt damage. A protective concrete sealer can prevent further deterioration and unsightly marks.
Existing Joint Deterioration
Failing caulk or visible gaps in control joints allow water to seep into the sub-base, leading to erosion and slab settlement. Proper concrete joint sealing is crucial to maintaining slab stability.
