The Best Way to Fix Concrete Cracks Cracks in your driveway, concrete patio, and walkway compromise your home's curb appeal. You don't have to allow these imperfections to linger. You can fix those cracks immediately by hiring Concrete Crack Repair.

Concrete installations last hundreds of years, but mostly they end up developing small gaps, cracks, crevices, and holes. When your concrete patio, driveway, or path has begun to age, do the necessary concrete crack repair soon, as a small problem can become huge and expensive.

Here are the best ways to fix concrete cracks: Requirements:  Hammer  Concrete repair mix  Chisel  Mason's trowel  Wire brush  Putty knife 1. Choosing the Right Concrete Repair Product Concrete cannot repair concrete surfaces. But a concrete repair mix can do that, and they are available online. A few options are latex patching material, epoxy compounds, and mortar mixes. The mortar mixes are best to fill the chipped edges or large cracks. Other products are used for ⅛ -inch or wider concrete cracks.

2. Patch the Cracked Area Use a chisel and hammer to knock away cracks and loose concrete. You can chip inside an inch below the surface plane. Rinse and scrub the area using a wire brush to dislodge lingering particles.

3. Select a Concrete Crack Repair Product Apply a latex patching product or epoxy to ⅛-inch or wider concrete cracks. Spread the material with a putty knife or a mason's trowel. Fill the crack and smooth out the product. You can use a mortar mix for larger concrete imperfections. Create your own mix by combining three parts of masonry sand, one part of Portland cement, and some water to form a thick paste. Moisten the problem area and apply the mortar mix using a putty knife or mason's trowel. Eliminate air pockets by firmly pressing down on the applied product. Then smooth the patch and level it up. Allow it to cure for two hours and cover that area with a plastic sheet to keep it moist. Keep sprinkling water under the plastic for a few days until the surface hardens.
