How we repair cracks and prevent further damage

Concrete often settles and moves from its original poured placement due to soil movement. In many cases this is because cracks have formed which allows water to permeate underneath the concrete which over time creates cavities and substrate erosion from freezing and thawing.  As part of our restoration process we at ETCL not only restore the concrete back to its original position, but we carefully repair whatever cracks need repair as well. We V grind the crack and then fill it with an elastometric material, thus preventing the crack from reforming. This material seals the crack and expands and contracts with temperature changes. This service can save money be preserving the concrete integrity. Yet another way ETCL goes the extra step to ensure that whatever we repair is a permanent repair.
