Are One of These Things Ruining Your Concrete Driveway?
It’s easy to assume that a concrete driveway will stand up to anything you throw its way, however, this is not always the case. In fact, there are many things that can cause damage to concrete.
Here are five things that could be ruining your concrete driveway (often without you realizing what’s going on):
· Heavy load. From an RV to a construction vehicle to a dumpster, a heavy load can put extreme pressure on your driveway, thus leading to cracking, sinking, and other types of damage.
· Rock salt. If you use rock salt during the winter months, it has the potential to eat away at the concrete. Protect against this by purchasing a product that is safe for concrete.
· Shoveling. You may find yourself shoveling quite a bit as the snow falls, but you need to watch what you’re doing. If you continue to scrape a metal shovel blade against the surface, it can cause damage.
· Tree roots. Is your driveway in close proximity to larger trees? If so, the roots can begin to push toward the surface, thus heaving your concrete.
· Poor installation. If you’re paying for a concrete driveway, make sure you hire a professional who knows exactly what they’re doing. A poor installation job is the fastest way to run into issues.

Excellent service. Any question I had was addressed in a friendly yet professional manner. I have used Pond before for replacement windows and siding and most recently for new roofing. I highly recommend them for their responsiveness and the high quality of their work.
Easy communication with tons of photos and excellent job! Pond Roofing even came back to replace the color of the shingles to our satisfaction. The property was in McLean and they made me look great since my landlord client was very impressed. The swag cookies to our tenants was an added bonus. :-) Thanks so much!
Very fast initial response time and great customer service. Repair work was done (by prearrangement) while we had to be out of town and it looks great now that we are back. We have used Pond before and would call them first if we need roofing work in the future. Thanks!
Great communication, very professional repair crew. We have a new construction house that had some issues with vent seals after 10yrs and Pond fixed 8 different areas in one day--very happy with the work.
I recently hired Pond Roofing to check out a leak. They did a great job coming in on time and to troubleshoot the issue. Their pricing was competitive and overall service was excellent. I’m very happy with their work.
Pond Roofing was very responsive and knowledgeable about the condition of our roof. They delivered before the expected date and their work was impeccable. I cannot recommend working with Shanti enough.
Quality and Integrity. Terrific job on a roof repair. Called for a minor fix which was expertly accomplished. Patrick performed a complete inspection, ensuring no other damage or work needed. Perfect!
