Standard methods of repairing cracks in concrete slabs: basic info

1. Prepare the crack by using a diamond wheel crack chaser to V out the crack and to remove loose concrete.

2. Clean all debris out of the crack and vacuum where possible.

3. Diamond saw cut across the crack if stitching dogs are to be applied. Bond in place the stitching dogs using approved material.

4. The repair product i.e. epoxy, polyurea or urethane is poured into the crack and leveled off. Some materials allow for aggregate to be added such as sand with or without stone. Products may vary in method , cost and cure time.

5. Diamond grinding of the surface may be required with some products or cracks to level the repair across the crack

6. A correctly repaired crack typically is stronger than the original concrete.
