Repairing your driveway is a process that involves specific steps to restore it. Our repair process involves replacing damaged sections as needed to get a long lasting result. Issues left unaddressed will get worse so timely repairs are key.

Why Driveway Repair Matters

Repairing a broken or failing driveway is more than just cosmetic – it’s about safety, usability and longevity. Even small cracks can allow water in, freeze-thaw damage and progressive deterioration. If left unrepaired it will escalate into bigger issues and you’ll be looking at more extensive and costly repairs. Over time what starts as a small crack becomes a pothole, a hazard or a repair job that costs much more. In Durham Region where the temperatures fluctuate so much, timely repair is crucial.

Proper repair means restoring the structural integrity of the surface, preserving the underlying site base and re-establishing drainage paths. In cases of broken edges or significant settlement we may need to demo a section and rebuild with new base materials, compaction and resurfacing. Solutions often involve replacing damaged sections to get a long lasting result. Whether you need a small patch or full resurfacing we offer the full range of repair work.Because we work across Durham and surrounding areas we know the soil, climate and municipal specifications across Ontario. In Toronto or in Durham Region the codes or local government agencies sometimes require certain slopes, drainage and surface treatments. We ensure all repair work meets these requirements whether for private home owners or city subdivisions.

Driveway Repair Regulations in Ontario

When planning a driveway repair in Ontario it’s important to be aware of the regulations set by the Ontario government and your local city or region. For example in Durham Region homeowners need to get a permit before starting any significant driveway repair or reconstruction. These requirements ensure all repair work meets safety, accessibility and quality standards and protects both residents and the community.

Regulations vary between regions – what’s required in Toronto may be different from what’s needed in Niagara, London or Windsor. Some cities have specific rules about driveway width, materials, drainage or proximity to property lines. Before you start any repair it’s best to check with your local government office or visit the Ontario government website for the most up to date information. Their page provides detailed information on what permits are required, how to apply and what standards to meet for driveway repair projects across Ontario.

By following these regulations you ensure your repair is compliant, avoid fines and help keep your neighborhood safe and looking good.## What We Fix — Types of Driveway Damage & Repair

Here’s a list of common problems we fix and how we repair:

Repair is the process of getting your driveway back to original condition, addressing surface and structural issues.

For cracks and potholes our process often involves cleaning the area, filling gaps and replacing damaged materials to get a long lasting fix.

If left untreated damage will get worse over time and cost more to repair.

Cracks and Fissures

• Hairline cracks that get wider over time

• Alligator cracking (interconnected pattern)

• Longitudinal or transverse cracks

• Edge breaks where the pavement crumbles at the edges

Cracks left unrepaired will get wider and cause more damage.

We repair these by cleaning, injecting sealants, routing out edges or partial removal and patching.

Potholes and Depressions

When the surface breaks through and exposes the base or subgrade we remove the damaged material, recompact the base and resurface with new mix. This repair gets you a smooth safe ride.

Surface Spalling and Delamination

Areas where the top layer peels or flakes away often due to freeze-thaw cycles or poor installation. Our repair involves cutting out the loose material, replacing the affected area with new material and applying a bonding layer and patch mix.

Failed Joints or Separation

Expansion joints or control joints may deteriorate and allow crack growth. We repair by resealing joints, filling gaps, replacing failed joint materials and reinstating control line integrity.

Edge Failures

Edges of driveways often fail due to poor support or heavy loads. We fix edges by underpinning, reconstructing, replacing failed edge sections and transitioning properly to lawns or curbs.

Settlement and Base Failures

Where the underlying base or subgrade has failed due to water infiltration or erosion. We may excavate, reconstruct with new aggregate, compact and repave. This is a heavy duty repair but often necessary for long term performance.

Surface Overlay or Resurfacing

If most of the pavement is in moderate condition but showing wear we may repair by replacing the top surface layer with a thin overlay or resurfacing treatment across the full site.

Our Driveway Repair Process

The process of repairing driveways involves getting them back to a sound and functional state through a series of steps.Here’s our general repair process we follow in Durham Region and Ontario:

1. Site Visit & Assessment
   We’ll visit your location, measure the damaged areas, take photos of the conditions and note any underlying issues like drainage or base erosion. This helps us estimate labor, materials and permits.

2. Proposal & Permit Coordination
   We’ll provide a clear, itemized repair quote. Where municipal or government agencies require permits, we handle or assist with that process to make it smooth.

3. Preparation & Demolition
   We sawcut or break out damaged sections, remove debris and broken concrete or asphalt, and mobilize to prepare the subgrade or base with proper site compaction.

4. Base & Subgrade Repair
   If needed, we bring in granular materials or stone, recompact layers to correct level and ensure proper drainage. This is the foundation of a good repair and may involve replacing compromised base materials.

5. Patch / Reconstruction / Overlay
   Based on your needs, we place new concrete or asphalt mix in patches or full resurfacing. We fix cracks, level depressions and ensure smooth transitions, replace any damaged materials as needed.

6. Finishing, Sealing & Curing
   We finish the surface (broom finish, troweling, etc.), apply sealers or overlays and monitor curing time before reopening the drive. This step helps prevent future damage.

7. Quality Check & Clean-Up
   We inspect the repair, check slopes, edges, joint integrity and remove all construction waste. We clean up and leave your site tidy.

8. Maintenance & Follow-up
   After repair, we recommend maintenance protocols — annual inspections, crack sealing and overlay scheduling — to extend life and prevent new damage.

Typical Driveway Repair Scenarios & Examples

Here are a few examples of repair work we’ve done across Durham Region and surrounding Ontario regions:

• In Port Perry we repaired a residential house driveway that had deep cracks, heaved joints and visible spalling. We replaced the failed expansion joints, patched dozens of square feet of damaged surface and resurfaced the entire front site for a smooth finish.* In Uxbridge we repaired a rural concrete drive with frost damage and broken edges. We rebuilt the base with compacted aggregate, applied a premium sealant and improved drainage to prevent future settling.

• In Pickering we fixed a suburban driveway for a multi-car home, addressing cracks, sunken areas and oil stains. The result was a clean, even surface that added instant curb appeal.

• In Ajax we milled down the top layer of a worn asphalt driveway, filled structural cracks and applied a new asphalt overlay for heavy use and seasonal temperature shifts.

• In Whitby we repaired a concrete driveway at a newer house that had premature cracking. We replaced sections near the garage, reinforced the subgrade and added joint protection for long-term durability.

• In Oshawa we rebuilt an older driveway with a settled subgrade. We excavated six inches, installed ¾” compacted stone, repaved with asphalt and sealed the surface for a professional finish.

• In Brooklin we repaired a full driveway for a sloped property where water runoff caused erosion. We reconstructed the base, improved grading and sealed the surface to protect against weather and wear.

• In Alliston we repaired a community park pathway that had been left with large cracks and uneven surfaces for years. The damage left untreated required us to remove unstable sections, regrade the base and pour new concrete for a safe, accessible walkway.

• In Goderich we restored a residential driveway that had salt damage and surface pitting. We resurfaced the area and applied a protective sealant to prevent future issues.

• Across Durham Region every project reflects our local expertise, quality craftsmanship and dependable service — whether the driveway is in the heart of town or the quiet outskirts.

Each project required assessing site conditions, soil moisture, temperature timing (avoiding December freezes, etc.) and regional weather patterns.

Durability, Materials & Best Practices

Material Choices & Manufacturers

We source top quality concrete and asphalt materials from Ontario manufacturers. We also use additives and binders that improve flexibility and reduce cracking potential.

Drainage & Sloping

Effective repair isn’t just filling cracks — it means ensuring proper flow, grade and drainage away from structures. We shape the site and install repair structures like French drains or edge swales when needed.

Expansion & Control JointsWe install and restore control joints and expansion joints to control cracking. For repair we seal joints with high-performance sealant and filler to maintain integrity.

Compaction & Base Control

A key failure point is poor compaction under the base. For repair we use judicious compaction equipment, test densities and ensure stability before paving, including replacing unstable base materials as needed to ensure proper compaction.

Sealing & Surface Protection

After the repair and paving we often apply a sealer (for asphalt or concrete) to protect against water, UV, oil and freeze-thaw. This enhances long-term durability.

Environmental Impact of Driveway Repair

Driveway repair projects can have an environmental impact, especially when traditional materials and methods are used. The production and installation of asphalt and concrete can result in increased energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. However in Ontario there is a growing emphasis on sustainable repair practices to minimize these effects.

We support and implement environmentally friendly solutions, such as using recycled materials, reducing construction waste and adopting energy efficient processes. In the Durham Region and other areas the Ontario government encourages the use of green infrastructure, like permeable pavers, which help manage stormwater and reduce runoff. There are also government programs in place to support contractors and homeowners who choose sustainable materials and methods for their repair projects.

By choosing eco-conscious repair options you not only help the environment but also contribute to a healthier, more resilient community.

Maintenance Guidelines

• Inspect annually for small cracks or new breaks

• Seal minor cracks promptly before they widen

• Cracks left unsealed can lead to more serious damage over time

• Avoid deicing salts; use safer alternatives

• Re-seal the surface periodically (every few years)

• Monitor drainage and runoff

Driveway Repair and Safety

Safety is top of mind in every driveway repair project we undertake. A well maintained driveway reduces the risk of accidents especially for children, seniors and anyone with mobility challenges. In Ontario both the provincial government and local city authorities, such as the city of Toronto, have guidelines to ensure driveways are safe and accessible. These include recommendations for proper slope, effective drainage and adequate lighting.

Homeowners can enhance driveway safety by inspecting regularly for damage, repairing broken or uneven surfaces and keeping the area clear of snow and ice during winter months. Installing proper lighting and visible signage can further reduce risks especially at night or during inclement weather.For more safety tips and resources check the Ontario government and local city websites to help keep your driveway and family safe all year round.

Seasonality, Timing & Scheduling

Best time to repair a driveway is late spring after frost heaves subside and before December freezes start. Many clients schedule in August or early fall to avoid extreme heat or freezing wet conditions. (Last updated: Oct 2025)

We monitor Ontario region weather and adjust our schedule accordingly. If rain or saturated site conditions occur we can’t repair successfully so we may delay until soil and moisture are suitable. In December or deep winter repair in freezing ground is rarely advisable.

We also factor in municipal permit turn-around times — in some city or region jurisdictions you may need to submit drawings, drainage plans or engineering before repair starts. We help coordinate these job tasks to avoid delays.

FAQs

How long does a driveway repair take?

For minor crack repair or patchwork it’s usually one day. More extensive jobs (base reconstruction or full resurfacing) can take multiple days especially if curing or permitting is involved. We’ll include estimated timelines in your quote.

Do you handle permits or municipal approvals?

Yes — in Toronto, Durham Region or other city or region jurisdictions we assist or fully manage permit submissions, engineering approvals or compliance checks with government agencies.

Can I wait until spring or fall to repair?

You can but delaying increases risk. In December freezing damage can worsen cracks and heavy rain or freeze-thaw cycles can create new failures. We recommend addressing visible damage sooner rather than later.

What materials do you use and how durable is the repair?

We use high grade concrete or asphalt mixes from Ontario suppliers with reinforcing additives and sealers. When done properly our repair solutions can last 10-20+ years depending on traffic, drainage and maintenance.

Does driveway repair affect drainage or neighboring yards?

We design repair work to respect existing drainage patterns and avoid negative runoff to neighboring sites. If needed we install grading, swales or drainage repairs to protect adjacent areas or community properties.
