Is Water Pooling on Your Concrete?

Ever notice puddles forming on your driveway after a storm? Maybe your walkway seems to collect water in the same spot every time it rains. It might seem like a minor nuisance—but standing water on concrete is often a major red flag.
At Metro Concrete Lifting, we want you to know that pooling water isn’t just unsightly—it’s a warning that your concrete is uneven, possibly sinking, and could lead to costly damage if ignored.
What Causes Water to Pool on Concrete?
Concrete is meant to be flat and gently sloped so that water runs away from your home. But over time, soil underneath can shift or settle—especially with freeze-thaw cycles, erosion, or improper drainage.
When that happens, your concrete:
- Begins to sink or slope the wrong way
- Develops low spots where water collects
- Becomes more likely to crack and deteriorate
These changes might not be dramatic at first, but they only get worse with time.
Why You Shouldn’t Ignore It
We get it—you’ve got a long to-do list, and a little puddle may not feel urgent. But here’s why waiting can backfire:
- Slippery Surfaces: Wet walkways are a serious slip hazard.
- Freeze Damage: Standing water expands when frozen, widening cracks.
- Foundation Risks: Improper drainage can push water toward your home.
- Mold & Mildew: Excess moisture encourages unwanted growth—especially near patios and basements.
If you've thought, “I’ll deal with it later,” you're not alone. But almost every homeowner we’ve helped has said the same thing—until the damage got worse.
