## Driveway Damage Assessment

Ten plain questions about what your driveway is doing. You get one of four results, maintain, repair, replace or urgent, and what to do next.

[OKC Driveway Repair Co.](https://okcdrivewayrepairco.com/) uses the same cutoffs in this driveway damage assessment that it uses on site: crack width, how far panels have dropped, how much of the drive has failed, and whether anything could give way suddenly.

Question 1 of 10

What is your driveway made of?

-   
-

The four results

-   Maintain and watch
    
    Your driveway is in decent shape. The goal now is to keep water out of it so small cracks don't become sunken panels.
    
-   Targeted repair
    
    You have localized damage that a repair can fix: a few sunken or broken panels, wider cracks, or a trip edge. Fixing it now is cheaper than waiting.
    
-   Likely replacement
    
    Damage is spread across the drive, or it's old enough that repairs won't hold. Price a replacement alongside the repair so you can compare the ten-year cost.
    
-   Urgent: make it safe today
    
    Something you described can fail suddenly or hurt someone: a void under the slab, a drop after a storm, or a trip edge where the public walks.
    

### How the assessment decides

Each answer adds points for how much it suggests the slab or its base has failed. A few answers override the score: a hollow under the slab, a change right after a storm, or a public trip edge always return **Urgent**, and damage across a third or more of the drive always returns at least **Likely replacement**.

The thresholds follow the same rules used in our guides: cracks under ¼ inch with level sides can be sealed, panels that dropped but stayed whole can be [leveled](https://okcdrivewayrepairco.com/driveway-leveling/), and once about a third of the drive has failed, [replacement usually costs less](https://okcdrivewayrepairco.com/guide/repair-or-replace-concrete-driveway/) over ten years. The ¼-inch trip threshold comes from the 2010 ADA Standards (§303.2).
