Concrete contractor in Oshawa
The age of concrete does not explain by itself what should happen next. Movement, settlement, drainage and the depth of surface damage provide more useful evidence.

Look beyond the crack line
A crack across a level slab may remain mostly an appearance and water-entry concern. The same crack with one side lower than the other indicates that the panels no longer share an elevation.
Low areas after rain also reveal surface shape. Filling cracks cannot create a route out of a depression.
Repair has practical limits
A local patch can rebuild a corner or address isolated deterioration where sound concrete remains. It will usually stay visible, and ongoing movement can cause the repaired boundary to open.
Surface coatings or thin additions should not be expected to correct support loss or broad settlement below a driveway or step.
Replacement reaches the underlying condition
Demolition removes the failed slab and lets the supporting material be assessed. Soft zones or old disturbed trenches can then be treated in the new base plan.
Forms reset edges and drainage using the garage, street, door or remaining walk as fixed references. The result still requires planned joints and realistic expectations about future cracking.
