SlabWorx is Vermont's independent concrete failure intelligence platform — diagnose, repair, replace, or maintain anything concrete with field-proven M/Mv/L/I analysis. Anything Vermonters need fixed, repaired, or replaced. We do it all — diagnostic first.
Cost of waiting in Vermont
Every winter without diagnosis multiplies repair cost. Every spring without remediation increases liability exposure.
Vermont’s concrete authority. We fix, level, crack-repair, replace, and rebuild concrete across the state — starting with a real diagnostic, not a guess. Drone, LiDAR, thermal & GPR scanning paired with AI risk modeling and field-proven repair built for cold-climate concrete that actually has to last.
SlabWorx LLC is the parent company — the foundation of research, development, systems, and intellectual property. Every brand below shares the same diagnostic doctrine, the same data, and the same standard of work.

One M/Mv/L/I doctrine. Same scan. Same model. Same standard — every site.
Built for property owners, HOAs, REITs, GCs, facility managers, municipalities, schools, and healthcare campuses — wherever concrete failure becomes liability. One LLC. One doctrine. Every asset covered.
A clipboard inspection costs you nothing — and tells you nothing. Our intelligence stack scans every square foot with seven sensors, models failure before it happens, and prescribes the exact repair that protects your asset, your liability, and your capital plan. Detect. Model. Control. Extend.
Millimeter-accurate aerial maps of your entire property in minutes — 100% coverage, zero defects missed.
Quantifies every trip hazard against the 1/4” ADA threshold — the documented evidence that wins claims and shuts down lawsuits.
Sees the moisture, voids, and delamination hiding under perfectly intact-looking concrete — catches failure 2–3 seasons early.
Maps rebar, voids, post-tension cables, and conduits before anyone breaks ground — prevents the $50K mistake every PM dreads.
Time-stamped, geo-tagged 4K capture of every defect, every repair, every milestone — the receipt your insurer and counsel need.
Years of historical change-detection prove when damage started — critical leverage for warranty disputes and insurance claims.
Our patent-pending Machine-Readable Interface Layer — the only system that lets AI re-scan the exact same square inch, year after year.
Multi-modal AI fuses all seven capture layers into a single root-cause diagnosis — so you fix the cause once, not the symptom forever.
Know exactly when, where, and how a slab will fail — plan capex on a calendar, not a crisis. Repair costs grow 4–7× once failure compounds.
Every defect scored Severity 1–5 with dollarized liability exposure — the document your GC, board, and underwriter want on file.
A single number per asset, refreshed every scan — board-ready intelligence that turns deferred maintenance into a defensible plan.
Scope and price derived from physics, not square footage — every repair guaranteed to address the actual failure mode, the first time.
Annual or quarterly re-scans flag the next failure before it ever becomes a claim — the recurring intelligence layer that pays for itself.
Chain-of-custody documentation engineered for expert-witness testimony — every measurement defensible in court, before counsel ever asks.
From sensor to slab to boardroom — the only concrete intelligence stack that turns physical assets into predictable, insurable, financeable data. Powered by AssetGuard™ + SlabWorx OS. Every diagnosis mapped to the four-layer failure model: M / Mv / L / I.
We don’t inspect surfaces. We diagnose the four interacting systems that cause concrete to fail — in that order, every time.
Water, drainage, vapor drive. The single highest predictor of long-term failure.
Settlement, frost heave, thermal expansion. What makes patches crack twice.
Traffic, point stress, impact zones. Tier 1–4 load classification governs spec.
Surface prep, bond chemistry, material compatibility. ICRI standards or it doesn’t hold.
If M, Mv, L, and I are aligned → performance. If they’re not → compounding failure. See the 6-step process →
Most concrete failures aren't surface problems — they're system problems. We solve them at the root.
Every service follows the same rigorous five-step methodology — Scan, Measure, Verify, Define, Control — and is backed by AssetGuard™ risk modeling.
Pre-construction assessment begins with satellite imagery and historical data review. Fiducial marker placement establishes persistent measurement references. Drone scanning maps existing conditions at millimeter accuracy, and WorxAI integrates site data into a controlled construction baseline.
Crack analysis begins before fieldwork. Satellite imagery establishes layout. Drone scanning documents the full surface, capturing crack patterns, width changes, and propagation direction. WorxAI converts the data to a classified crack inventory — distinguishing delamination from structural fracture.
Drone scanning and LiDAR elevation mapping measure every joint, crack, and panel edge at millimeter resolution. WorxAI classifies each deviation against the 1/4" legal compliance threshold, producing a documented inventory with precise locations, measurements, and risk classifications.
Satellite recon identifies probable displacement zones. Drone scanning and LiDAR measure every panel position relative to design grade. WorxAI analyzes elevation differentials, identifies void probability zones, and classifies panels by severity and remediation priority.
LiDAR elevation mapping generates a millimeter-accurate slope model — identifying all areas of insufficient cross-slope, reverse grade, and drainage path obstructions. Concrete surfaces require 1–2% cross-slope to shed water correctly.
Void detection uses satellite imagery, drone scanning, and LiDAR elevation mapping in combination. WorxAI integrates elevation anomalies with surface crack patterns to classify void probability zones by location, probable extent, and risk level.
Standard project reviews starting at $150–$300 for all services. All work performed by licensed & insured Vermont technicians.
Every project follows the same disciplined methodology. No guesswork. No upselling. No scope creep.
AssetGuard™ drone, infrared, and ground-penetrating survey. Nothing escapes detection.
Precision surface deviation, crack propagation, and settlement data captured to a 1/16" standard.
Cross-reference field data with AssetGuard™ risk modeling to confirm failure mode and scope.
Scope the repair precisely. No upselling. No scope creep. Just what the data says is required.
Execute using cold-climate engineered methods built specifically for Vermont winters.
Defensible before-and-after documentation. Risk quantified. Liability protected. Record created.
Every SlabWorx assessment is backed by AssetGuard™ — our proprietary drone scanning, data modeling, and AI risk platform. We don't just report what's broken. We predict what's next.
"AssetGuard™ found three liability hazards we didn't know existed. Two months later, we got a slip-and-fall notice — we had documentation proving we'd already scheduled the repair. Case dismissed."
"We manage 14 properties. Before AssetGuard™, every site was a mystery. Now we have standardized risk scores for each one and can plan capital repairs 2–3 seasons in advance. It changed how we budget."
"I thought I just needed a patch job. The scan revealed a moisture-driven settlement zone under my loading dock. Fixing it now cost a fraction of what a full-section replacement would have been in 18 months."
Every engagement is built on these four principles.
Time-stamped reports, before/after records, and risk acknowledgment trails.
Identify hazards before incidents. Document exposure before claims materialize.
Fix small problems before catastrophic failures. Eliminate reactive emergency repairs that cost 3–10× planned maintenance.
Freeze-thaw cycles. Frost depth 48+ inches. Materials and methods engineered for Vermont's actual climate — not imported from warmer regions.
A surface crack is a symptom. The cause is soil movement, water infiltration, freeze-thaw cycling, or a combination. Filling the crack without addressing the cause produces the same crack in the next freeze season. SlabWorx runs diagnostics first — every time.
