How do you repair a cracked driveway?
At Guardian Property Solutions, we’ve been working in real estate for quite some time and we’ve seen our fair share of cracked driveways — we’ve also FIXED our fair share of cracked driveways 😉
So… how do you do it?
Fortunately, repairing a cracked driveway is probably something you can do yourself — it typically doesn’t require any special knowledge or ability.
But it depends on the type of crack(s) you’re dealing with.
Here are some tips…
Narrow Cosmetic Cracks — Small cosmetic cracks sometimes result because the concrete dried too quickly when it was poured. You can fix these small cracks by applying a concrete resurfacing solution.
Cracks ¼ Inch in Width — Cracks up to ¼ inch in width are usually because of shrinkage. These cracks can be filled with a polymer concrete crack sealant.
Cracks & Crumbling — Cracks and crumbling on the edge of the driveway are often caused by heavy vehicles. These can be fixed with quick-setting cement that includes an acrylic fortifier.
Wide, Jagged Cracks — If you notice large cracks with the heaving or settling of the driveway, then you might need to do a full slab replacement. In which case, we recommend hiring a professional.
