Standing water on your concrete, solved with the pour itself
Customers call us because water is sitting where they walk or park. Standing water is not just a nuisance: it undermines the base, freezes, and takes the slab apart from below.
If water sits on your slab after every rain, the fix is grade and concrete. We re-pour the low sections with the right fall.
Problems we are called out for
A patio or slab that holds a puddle for days after rain.
A driveway with a low panel that water sits in.
A side yard between house and fence that never dries out.
Concrete drains and channels that carry water away from the property.
How we fix it
We find where the water actually goes, not where it is supposed to go.
The failed or flat section is broken out and hauled off.
The base is re-cut to the correct fall and compacted.
The new slab is reinforced, poured to grade and broom finished.
Where it is needed we form a concrete drain or channel to carry water out.

FAQ
Questions about drainage
Can standing water on a patio really be fixed?
Yes. One of our customers called because his patio was stagnant with water and he wanted something firm to walk on. We tore it out, re-poured it with a broom finish and rebar reinforcement, and the water problem went with it.
Do you build concrete drains?
Yes. We have formed and poured concrete drainage channels, including a drain run for a property with a future lake on it.
Do you charge for estimates?
No. Estimates are free, every time, with no obligation. Call or text (469) 334-7552 and we will come out and price the job.
What does a concrete driveway cost in Memphis?
It depends on the square footage, the thickness, whether there is an old slab to tear out and haul away, how difficult the access is and which finish you choose. That is why we look at it in person rather than quoting a number over the phone. The estimate is free either way.
Do you reinforce your concrete?
Yes. Rebar and wire mesh go into our pours as standard, tied and chaired off the ground so the steel sits inside the slab where it does its job. Reinforcement is the difference between concrete that cracks and stays put and concrete that cracks and separates.
