Cracks and spalling in older Hewitt concrete
In the Census Bureau's 2020–2024 survey estimates, 1,579 of Hewitt's 6,157 housing units, about 26%, date from before 1980. McLennan County's 2001 soil survey lists cracked or buckled houses, roads, streets and sidewalks among the limits Houston Black clay's shrink-swell puts on building.
Not every crack is a problem. Early random cracks are mostly cosmetic: the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association says they're unsightly but seldom weaken the concrete or shorten its service life. A thin crack, about ⅛ inch, can usually just be repaired, with epoxy filler working on cracks ⅛ inch wide or less and a foam backer rod pushed into any ½ inch or wider before filling. Much wider cracks call for a check on whether the slab's structure is at risk.
Spalling, the crumbling or pitting of the surface, can come from freeze-thaw cycles, deicing salts, poor finishing, improper curing or a bad mix. The fixes run from a color-matched patch to an overlay or tearing out and replacing the slab. A sound but tired surface may suit resurfacing in Hewitt, a dropped panel slab leveling, and the Hewitt service list has the rest.

Look and measure
Crack widths, spalled areas and any movement are measured, and the cause is looked for.
Fill, or cut out
Cracks are cleaned out and filled; badly damaged sections are saw-cut and broken out.
Patch and cure
Patches and new sections are cured. New concrete can be hard to color-match, so expect some difference.

Crack and spall repair questions
When is filling a crack only a temporary fix?
Cracks or holes under ¼ inch wide can be filled or patched as a temporary fix, but patches aren't watertight. Past ¼ inch, cracks can be covered with resurfacing or an overlay, as can spalling and discoloration.
Is partial-depth repair enough for a spalled slab?
Only for shallow damage. The American Concrete Pavement Association limits partial-depth repair to spalls in the upper third to half of the slab that don't expose steel; damage near or past half the slab's thickness gets a full-depth repair, and a crack through the full thickness can't be fixed with a partial-depth patch.
Can a crack be sealed to keep water out?
Where a small amount of movement is expected, routing and sealing keeps water out of the crack, the Texas Department of Transportation says. The cut is a V-shaped groove centered on the crack, typically about 3/8 inch deep.
