Austin Concrete Contractor Tackles Damage from Recent Ice Storm and Freeze-Thaw Cycles

Concrete Contractor Plus, a professional concrete contractor based in Austin, Texas, is responding to increased demand for concrete repair and replacement services following the recent ice storm that affected the Central Texas region. Prolonged freezing temperatures and rapid thawing have contributed to visible cracking, surface deterioration, and structural stress across driveways, patios, sidewalks, and retaining walls throughout the Austin area.

According to Concrete Contractor Plus, winter weather events significantly accelerate concrete damage through the freeze-thaw cycle, a process in which moisture penetrates concrete pores, freezes, and expands by approximately 9 percent, placing internal stress on the material. This expansion often results in spalling, surface scaling, and deep structural cracks, especially in older or improperly sealed concrete. The damage is frequently intensified by soil heaving, where frozen ground lifts concrete slabs, as well as chemical degradation caused by deicing salts.

"Concrete cracks in winter primarily due to the freeze-thaw cycle, where water enters the concrete, freezes, expands, and stresses the material," said Robert Henry, Director of Marketing for Concrete Contractor Plus. "After an ice storm like the one Austin recently experienced, we often see spalling, scaling, deep cracking, and slab movement caused by heaving soil and salt exposure. These issues don't resolve on their own - early assessment is key to preventing larger failures."
