Peeling edges, hollow sound, and sheet-like lift are bond failures—not a cue to seal over the problem. In Pacific Northwest moisture, a failed overlay needs an honest strip-and-assess path: redo only if the slab still qualifies; replace when structure or base has failed. Olsen Concrete · King, Pierce & Snohomish · 425-419-9949.
These signs differ from deep structural cracks with vertical offset—but both need a condition read, not another DIY coat. Aftercare context: seal & maintain overlay.
Common contributors include poor prep, moisture trapped under a film or thin system, overlay on a slab that was already moving, and products used outside their intended use. We will not invent durability years online—assessment decides the next step. Core restore framing: overlays · overlay vs replacement.
After the failed layer is removed (or thoroughly evaluated), Olsen screens the host slab the same way we would any first-time candidate:
Sunken geometry may need leveling before any new surface: leveling vs overlay. Garage film failures: garage overlay vs epoxy.

Sometimes—after the failed layer is addressed and the host slab still qualifies for bond. If the slab itself has failed, a new overlay will not fix structure. Call 425-419-9949.
No. Sealing over hollow or peeling material traps the problem. Assessment first. More answers: FAQ.
