Concrete Patio Repair in Houston, TX
Patio repair in Houston is the process of fixing cracked, sinking, uneven, or water-damaged concrete patios, and correcting the soil and drainage problems that caused the damage. Two Brothers Foundation Repair repairs, levels, resurfaces, and rebuilds concrete patios across the Greater Houston area, backed by more than 20 years of experience with Houston's expansive clay soil.
A patio sits right against your home, so it does more than host weekend cookouts. When a patio slab cracks, sinks, or tilts toward the house, it can send rainwater straight to your foundation. Fixing the patio protects your outdoor living space and the structure beside it. Our team diagnoses the real cause of the damage, makes a lasting repair, and tells you honestly whether your patio can be saved or should be replaced.

What Causes Patio Damage in Houston?
Most patio damage in Houston comes from the expansive clay soil under the slab. This clay swells when it absorbs water and shrinks as it dries. Houston's pattern of heavy rain followed by long, hot dry spells keeps the soil moving, and that movement lifts, drops, and bends the concrete until it cracks or settles.
Other common causes include:
- Poor drainage. Water from roofs, downspouts, or a low yard collects under the patio, softens the soil, and washes away the base.
- Thin or poorly prepared base. Patios poured without a compacted base or proper thickness crack and sink much sooner.
- Tree roots. Roots pull moisture from the clay, causing localized shrinkage, and can push slab sections upward.
- Missing or failed control joints. Without joints that let the concrete move, cracks form randomly across the surface.
- Heat and sun exposure. Daily temperature swings cause the concrete to expand and contract, which widens existing cracks.
Because these same forces affect your home's foundation, a damaged patio is often an early warning sign. If your patio is pulling away from the house or tilting toward it, we recommend a structural foundation assessment at the same visit.
Signs Your Patio Needs Repair
You likely need patio repair if you notice any of the following:
- Cracks wider than a credit card, or cracks that keep growing
- One section of the patio sitting higher or lower than the rest
- A gap opening between the patio and your home's slab or wall
- Water pooling on the patio or running toward the house after rain
- Concrete crumbling, flaking, or pitting at the surface or edges
- Patio furniture that wobbles or doors that drag across the slab
- Trip hazards at joints or where the patio meets a walkway
Catching these early usually means a smaller, less expensive repair.
Our Patio Repair Services
Patio Crack Repair
We clean, fill, and seal cracks to keep water out of the slab and the soil underneath. When cracks are caused by soil movement, we address the cause so the repair holds instead of reopening.
Sunken and Uneven Patio Leveling
When part of a patio has settled, we lift the slab back to level and fill the voids underneath, removing trip hazards and the low spots that collect water. Learn more about our concrete leveling service.
Patio Separating from the House
A patio that pulls away from or slopes toward your home directs water to your foundation. We restore the slope away from the house and seal the joint so rainwater drains where it should.
Patio Resurfacing
For patios that are structurally sound but worn, pitted, or stained, we resurface the concrete for a clean, durable finish without the cost of a full replacement.
Patio Drainage Correction
Water is the number one reason patios fail. We correct grading and redirect runoff using surface drains and grading, French drains, and downspout solutions so the slab stays dry and supported.
New Concrete Patio Builds
When a patio is too damaged to repair, we remove it and pour a new concrete patio on a properly compacted base, with control joints and a slope that drains away from your home. We also build custom patios for homeowners who want to add or expand outdoor living space.
Should You Repair or Replace Your Patio?
Most cracked or sunken patios can be repaired, especially when the problem is caught early. Replacement makes sense when the slab is badly broken, crumbling throughout, or was poured without an adequate base.
| Situation | Usually Best Option |
|---|---|
| Hairline or isolated cracks | Crack repair and sealing |
| One section sunken or tilted | Leveling and void filling |
| Patio sloping toward the house | Leveling plus drainage correction |
| Surface worn, flaking, or pitted | Resurfacing |
| Slab broken into many pieces | Replacement |
| Repeated settling after past repairs | Replacement with a new compacted base |
During your free consultation, we'll tell you which option fits your patio and why. We don't recommend a replacement when a repair will do the job.

How much does patio repair cost in Houston?
Patio repair cost depends on the size of the patio, the type of damage, and whether it needs crack repair, leveling, resurfacing, drainage work, or full replacement. Crack repair and leveling typically cost far less than a new patio. We provide a free on-site assessment and a written estimate with no hidden fees.
Can a cracked concrete patio be repaired?
Yes. Most cracked concrete patios can be repaired, especially when the cracks are caught early. We seal the cracks and correct the soil or drainage problem behind them so they don't return. Replacement is only recommended when the slab is broken into many pieces or crumbling throughout.
Why is my patio sinking?
Patios sink when the soil underneath shrinks, shifts, or washes away. In Houston, this is usually caused by expansive clay soil drying out, water eroding the base, or a base that was never properly compacted. We lift the slab back to level and fix the drainage so it stays supported.
Why is my patio pulling away from my house?
A patio separates from the house when the soil under the patio moves differently from the soil under your foundation. This gap lets rainwater reach your foundation and can lead to further settling. We level the patio, restore its slope away from the home, and seal the joint.
Is a damaged patio a sign of foundation problems?
It can be. The same clay soil and drainage issues that crack patios also move foundations. If your patio is separating from the house or you see interior cracks, sticking doors, or uneven floors, we recommend a free foundation inspection at the same visit.
How long does patio repair take?
Most patio crack repairs and leveling jobs are completed in one to two days. Resurfacing and new patio builds take longer because the concrete needs time to cure. We give you a clear timeline with your estimate.
Do you build new concrete patios?
Yes. We remove patios that are too damaged to repair and pour new concrete patios on a properly compacted base, with control joints and a slope that drains away from your home. We also build custom patios to add or expand outdoor living space.
How can I prevent my patio from cracking again?
The best prevention is keeping water away from the slab. Make sure gutters and downspouts drain away from the patio, the yard is graded away from the house, and the patio slopes away from your foundation. We can install drainage solutions alongside your repair.
Do you offer financing for patio repair?
Yes. Two Brothers Foundation Repair offers flexible payment plans so you can handle patio repairs without delay. Ask about current options during your free consultation or visit our financing page.
