Concrete is a durable and versatile material used in everything from driveways and patios to foundations and sidewalks. However, over time, even the strongest concrete can develop cracks. It could be caused by settling, sinking slabs, weather conditions, or heavy loads. Cracks can not only be unsightly but also an indicator to more serious structural issues. 

At True Level Concrete, we specialize in expert concrete crack repair, offering comprehensive solutions that extend the life and appearance of your concrete surfaces.

Why Concrete Cracks Happen

Cracks in concrete are common, but understanding why they occur can help prevent future damage. Some of the most common causes include:

• Settlement: As the ground beneath a concrete slab shifts, it can create voids that cause the concrete to crack and settle unevenly.
• Thermal Expansion: Temperature fluctuations can cause concrete to expand and contract, leading to cracks over time.
• Overloading: Placing excessive weight on concrete surfaces, like driveways or patios, can result in cracking.

However your cracks appeared, addressing them sooner than later might save you some time and money. Plus, repairing cracked concrete can help restore structural stability and make your concrete look much better.

Concrete Crack Repair: A Step-by-Step Guide

1. Clean the Crack:
   • Use a wire brush or a pressure washer to remove any debris, dirt, or loose material from the crack.
2. Prepare the Crack for Repair:
   • For small cracks, widen the crack slightly with a chisel to create a V-shape, which allows the repair material to bond better.
   • For larger cracks, remove any loose or crumbling concrete along the edges.
3. Apply the Crack Filler:
   • Choose a suitable crack filler based on the size and type of the crack (e.g., epoxy, concrete caulk, or patching compound).
   • Use a caulking gun or a trowel to fill the crack completely, ensuring the filler penetrates deep into the crack.
4. Smooth the Surface:
   • Use a trowel or putty knife to smooth the surface of the filler, making it level with the surrounding concrete.
5. Allow the Filler to Cure:
   • Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for curing time. This could range from a few hours to a couple of days.
6. Seal the Surface (Optional):
   • Apply a concrete sealant over the repaired area to protect it from future cracking and to enhance durability.
