Concrete is a durable and reliable building material, but even the strongest structures can develop cracks over time. Whether it’s due to foundation movement, temperature changes, or other environmental factors, cracks in concrete can lead to moisture intrusion and further damage if not addressed promptly. Knowing how to repair these cracks effectively is crucial to ensuring the longevity of your structure.

How to Repair Concrete Cracks

At Spycor Building Products, we offer a range of concrete repair kits designed to handle cracks of various sizes and severity. Here’s a breakdown of some of the solutions we recommend:

1. Contractor Crack Injection Start-Up Kit

This kit is ideal for professionals who need to repair larger cracks — up to 30 feet in length. It includes everything you need for a complete repair, such as a crack injection gun, urethane adhesive, and static mixers. This low-pressure injection system allows for deep penetration into the crack, ensuring a thorough repair that prevents moisture from seeping through.

2. Marflex Single-Use Crack Repair Kits

For smaller cracks (8-10 feet), we offer two variations of single-use kits — one with injection epoxy resin and the other with polyurethane/epoxy resin. Both are easy to use, making them ideal for homeowners and contractors alike. These kits work by injecting material into the crack at low pressure, sealing the gap and preventing future water infiltration.

3. Staple Kits for Structural Cracks

If you’re dealing with a structural crack, such as a horizontal fracture or a crack wider than 0.25 inches, reinforcing the area is critical. Our staple kits use countersunk carbon staples to “cross-stitch” the crack, reinforcing the concrete and preventing further movement. This method works alongside epoxy injections to ensure a long-lasting repair.

Why Timely Concrete Repair is Crucial

Delaying concrete crack repairs can have long-term consequences, especially when it comes to structural integrity. Unrepaired cracks allow water and moisture to seep into the concrete, leading to further erosion, rusting of embedded rebar, and even foundation shifting. By addressing these cracks early, you can prevent costly repairs down the line and extend the lifespan of your structure.

How to Choose the Right Repair Kit

Choosing the right repair solution depends on the size and type of crack you’re dealing with. Here’s a quick guide to help you decide:

• For small, non-structural cracks (8-10 feet), a single-use crack repair kit is a convenient and affordable option.
• For larger cracks up to 30 feet, the contractor crack injection kit provides all the necessary tools for an effective repair.
• For structural cracks, reinforcing the area with a staple kit is essential to preventing further damage.
