Crack Repair

Surface cracking to imprinted concrete, just like most concrete surface can  sometimes occur. Most of these cracks are just where the concrete has 'dried out' and will remain superfical.

Sometimes more obvious cracking has occured due the following examples of poor workmanship.

• No expansion joints not being cut into the concrete slab
• Expansion joints being either not positioned in the right places, insufficent joints being cut or they have not been cut deep enough into the concrete to be effective.
• Not enough concrete, or the wrong type of concrete being laid.
• Insufficent sub base material has been used.

In many instances trying to repair fine cracks will only highlight it and attempts at repair are not reccomended.

If a repair is required Smartseal can supply fast drying, colour pigmented  extra strength concrete in small ammounts (available in 25 colours) that when mixed with water will form a 'paste'  that can simply be worked into the crack .
