Look at its edges and width. A tight crack with both sides level is usually shrinkage and only needs watching, while a widening gap or one side sitting higher points to base movement that a replacement corrects. If you are unsure, describe it when you ask for an estimate.

Call (614) 996-6592 or use the form, and describe the slab and what it is doing: cracking, sinking, heaving or flaking. The contractor calls back to talk about it and arrange a time to see it, and the estimate is free.

Usually because water got into it or under it and then froze. Central Ohio crosses the freezing mark many times in a typical winter, and every freeze expands trapped water, lifting slabs that sit on wet clay and popping the surface of concrete made without entrained air. Salt carried in on tires speeds the flaking. A replacement built on drained gravel with an air-entrained mix, kept free of rock salt its first winter, holds up far better.
