Tips on Filling Cracks in Concrete (beehaw.org)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Last year I had an old concrete porch re-done. Long story short, they did not keep it wet when curing, and now the concrete has several cracks in it. I'm concerned about the cracks getting worse and spreading over time, so I am thinking about filling the cracks with some kind of compounds. Any recommendations? I'm thinking a flexible compound like the Sika self leveling concrete fill, but am open to more experienced suggestions.

The flexible Sika products are great for concrete that’s not in a high vehicle traffic area. I’ve also had good luck using their two part epoxy compounds for sealing core holes. They seem to hold up really well and harden just as hard as the original concrete.
