After plumbers, electricians, or utility contractors cut into your driveway or sidewalk, someone needs to restore the concrete properly. We provide professional utility pour-back services in Charleston, and serve customers throughout Columbia, Sumter, and surrounding South Carolina communities.
Utility pour-backs are concrete restoration work performed after utility contractors cut trenches or openings in driveways, sidewalks, or slabs to access underground lines. Plumbers dig trenches for sewer repairs, electricians cut for conduit installation, and utility companies excavate for water and gas line work—all of which leaves concrete that needs proper restoration.
The restoration process involves preparing the trench, installing appropriate base material, placing reinforcement where needed, and pouring new concrete that matches the existing slab thickness and finish. The goal is a seamless repair that performs as well as the original concrete and doesn't become a weak point or visual eyesore.
As licensed and insured concrete contractors serving Charleston, we work with plumbers, electricians, utility companies, and property owners to restore concrete after utility work is complete. We understand the urgency—you need your driveway or sidewalk functional again quickly.

Commercial property owners and facility managers throughout North Charleston and the I-26 corridor need fast, professional concrete restoration after utility work disrupts parking areas and access routes.
Trenches backfilled with loose dirt settle and cause the new concrete to crack or sink. We compact trench backfill properly in lifts to prevent future settlement issues.
We measure the existing concrete thickness and pour to match. Thin pour-backs crack immediately. Proper thickness ensures the repair performs like the original slab.
We tie new concrete to existing edges with rebar dowels or epoxy where appropriate and use bonding agents to improve adhesion between old and new concrete.
We match the existing surface texture as closely as possible—broom finish, smooth trowel, or exposed aggregate. The goal is seamless integration with surrounding concrete.
We carry proper licensing and insurance coverage. Your property is protected throughout the restoration process.
We inspect the trench, verify utility work is complete, measure existing concrete thickness, and provide a quote for restoration.
We verify the trench is backfilled with suitable material, then compact it in lifts to achieve proper density and prevent future settling.
Existing concrete edges are cleaned and prepared. Reinforcement is installed where needed, and bonding agents are applied to improve new-to-old concrete adhesion.
Concrete is poured to match existing thickness, consolidated, and finished to match the surrounding surface texture. We blend edges to create seamless transitions.
The repair cures before vehicle or foot traffic. We clean up the work area and advise on proper cure time before the surface is ready for use.
If utility contractors left trenches in your driveway or sidewalk, call us for professional concrete restoration. We'll fill it right so it lasts.
