Absolutely! Cracks in concrete and brick surfaces can be repaired—and should be repaired as soon as possible to prevent further damage. Whether it’s your foundation, driveway, basement wall, or exterior brick siding, fixing cracks early can save you from costly structural issues down the line.
Let’s explore how crack repair works and when to call a professional.
What Causes Cracks in Concrete and Brick?
Cracks can form due to several reasons:
-
Settlement of the foundation
-
Temperature changes (freeze and thaw cycles)
-
Moisture intrusion
-
Improper construction or aging
-
Tree roots or ground movement
Small cracks may seem harmless, but over time they can widen, deepen, and let in water, mold, or pests.
Can These Cracks Be Repaired?
Yes, most cracks in concrete and brick surfaces can be repaired using specialized techniques and materials.
Concrete Crack Repair Options
-
Epoxy or Polyurethane Injection: Fills deep cracks and restores structural integrity.
-
Surface Patching: Ideal for shallow or surface-level cracks.
-
Slab Lifting: Used when cracks form due to sinking concrete (great for sidewalks and driveways).
Brick Crack Repair Options
-
Repointing: Removing damaged mortar and replacing it with new.
-
Stitching Cracks: Installing metal rods or mesh across cracks for reinforcement.
-
Brick Replacement: For severely damaged bricks.
DIY or Call a Professional?
While hairline surface cracks may be patched with DIY kits, most structural or water-prone cracks should be handled by professionals. Misdiagnosing a crack or using the wrong materials can lead to more problems later on.
Professionals not only fix the visible cracks but also identify and address the root cause—whether it’s moisture, shifting soil, or foundation movement.
