Crack, spall or break-through: the repair for each
For a crack that still moves a little, the Texas Department of Transportation routs a V-shaped groove centered on it, typically about 3/8 inch deep, then seals it to keep water out.
A spall can take a partial-depth patch only if the unsound concrete sits within the top third to half of the slab and exposes no steel, according to the American Concrete Pavement Association, and the Federal Highway Administration keeps such repairs to the top third. Damage near or past half the depth, or a crack through the full thickness, needs full-depth repair.
Freezes and rusting steel
Waco's 1991–2020 normals, the closest weather record we hold, show freezing lows on 34.1 days a year, and in the 2023 ice event that city stayed at or below freezing for 84 hours straight. Freeze-thaw cycles, poor finishing and improper curing all lead to spalling. Rust on the steel inside a slab takes up two to four times the volume of the original metal, the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association explains, and spalls off the concrete over it.
A section that has sunk rather than broken may be a candidate for slab lifting, and a worn but sound surface for resurfacing in Chilton. The rest is on the Chilton page.

Questions about cracks, salt and patches
Does deicing salt hurt concrete steps and walks?
It can. Deicing salts are one of the most common causes of spalling, and NRMCA says chlorides such as these are a more common cause of rust in concrete's steel than carbonation.
What does fixing one pothole in a driveway cost?
$150 to $200 for a single pothole, as a 2025 national average; a whole driveway repair job averages $1,250.
Will a patched spot match the color of the old concrete?
Not exactly. NRMCA's own words are that repair material "will not match the color and characteristics of the original concrete." A replaced section of new concrete can be a challenge to color-match as well.
