KMS Woodworks on Apr 08, 2012I would go with the leveling sealant from PL / Loctite. http://www.loctiteproducts.com/p/pl_seal_sl/overview/Loctite-PL-Polyurethane-Self-Leveling-Concrete-Crack-Sealant.htm I runs about 6 to 8 bucks a tube at my local hardware store. Make sure you clean out as much debris as possible first and follow the recommendations on the tube.Helpful Reply

Amazing Improvements and Garages on Apr 08, 2012Silka also makes a similar material for the Diy'r. I believe HD is a distributor. Quickcrete also makes a 2 part crack filler which can be sourced there as well. Doing anything is a big help in long term durability of the concrete as water stays out of it. Water is the biggest reason for all the damage we see. Keeping a sealer on your concrete also keeps water out. Unfortunately very few think about maintaining their concrete.Helpful Reply

Its Really Concrete, Inc. on Apr 10, 20121st, what's economical ? those smallish chunks are probably called ' spalls ' & are caused by the individual pieces of conc moving against each other & ' grinding ' the incompressibles against the conc crack faces,,, movement is caused by temperature swings as solids expand in hi heat & contract in lo temps,,, after repairing the spalls ( if necessary ), the joints should be sealed to prevent incompressibles lodging inside the joint & causing further spalling when the conc expands. the larger ' chunks ' can probably be repaired using proper patching techniques ( base compaction, steel tie rods, etc ). It all comes down to what's economical. my driveway was installed 7yrs ago - i didn't use either conc sealer OR joint sealant however there is a good joint pattern which is prime importance. IF you don't have that, look for repairs to rear their headHelpful Reply
