Spot the clues

Concrete problems worth investigating.

The first question does not always have to be “How much will replacement cost?” It can be “Is there another repair option worth evaluating?”

Uneven concrete pavement
Uneven or separated slabs?

Settlement, gaps and elevation differences are useful clues to document in your Concrete Check.

↘ One or more sections are sinking

A slab sitting lower than the concrete next to it is exactly the kind of condition worth documenting.

⚠ There's a trip hazard

Uneven sidewalk, patio or driveway sections can create raised edges between slabs.

💧 Water drains or pools the wrong way

Changes in slab elevation can affect where rainwater travels.

↔ A gap has opened near the house or garage

Tell us where the movement is happening and include a close-up photo.

How it works

A second opinion starts with evidence.

Concrete Detective is designed to make the first step simple without pretending a website can diagnose your slab.

1

Tell us what moved

Driveway, sidewalk, patio, garage floor, steps or pool deck—describe what you are seeing.

2

Upload a few photos

Wide shots and close-ups help show the size, condition and location of the problem.

3

We review the case

If the project appears appropriate for further evaluation, we may connect you with an independent concrete professional serving your area.

Don't assume “sunken” automatically means “replace.”

Concrete leveling is not right for every slab. That's the point of investigating the condition first instead of making a repair promise from a photo.

Questions homeowners ask

What Concrete Detective is—and isn't.

Is this a concrete contractor?

No. Concrete Detective is a project-intake and matching service. When appropriate, homeowners may be connected with independent service providers.

Does submitting mean my concrete can be leveled?

No. Photos and questionnaire answers are not a professional inspection, diagnosis, estimate or guarantee that leveling is appropriate.

What photos should I send?

Include a wider photo showing the whole affected area plus close-ups showing uneven edges, gaps, cracks or drainage concerns.

What if I'm only researching?

That's okay. The questionnaire includes a research-only timeline so you can accurately describe where you are in the process.

Concrete Detective does not perform concrete repair and does not provide engineering, inspection, diagnostic or contracting services. Any service provider introduced through the site is an independent business. A Concrete Check is informational intake only and is not a guarantee of suitability, pricing, savings, availability or project outcome.
