Concrete spaces are very attractive in the early stages of their construction. Some spaces are a smooth finish while others are brushed or decorative. However, over time, cracked concrete emerges, making your once beautiful space unappealing to the eye.
There’s a number of ways your concrete contractor can repair those cracks, restoring the initial beauty of the space.
Cracked concrete can be repaired using the following methods:
- Epoxy injection: This involves injecting a two-component epoxy resin into the cracks to fill and seal them.
- Concrete resurfacing: This involves applying a thin layer of concrete over the existing surface to cover the cracks and create a new, smooth surface.
- Concrete patching: This involves filling the cracks with a concrete patching compound to create a smooth surface.
- Concrete replacement: This involves removing the damaged concrete and replacing it with new concrete.
Our latest concrete crack repair was at a gorgeous Lookout Mountain, GA home. The uphill driveway had several cracks, greatly diminishing the original look.
For this project we chose the concrete patching method. Each crack was filled by hand with a patching compound, then finished with an infinity seal, creating a vibrant new look for the clients’ driveway.
Typically, concrete cracks can be fully repaired in only a single day, making this process a very popular choice for our clients desiring a return of an aesthetically pleasing concrete space.
The repair method used will depend on the severity and extent of the damage. It is important to repair cracked concrete as soon as possible to prevent further damage and ensure the safety of the area.
