Concrete Patch & Repair
Spalls, chips, broken edges, and cracks that cannot be ground are repaired with a bonded cement-polymer patch or crack injection.
The problem
Not every hazard is a raised edge. Spalled surfaces, chipped corners, broken-out sections at joints, and open cracks catch heels and wheels, and they get worse each season water gets in.
When it applies
- Surface spalling, chips, or broken-out concrete at edges and joints.
- Cracks that need to be sealed before they widen.
- Areas that cannot be ground because of their shape or location.
- Small defects where replacing the whole section would be out of proportion to the problem.
How we do it
- 1
Prepare the surface
Loose material is removed and the area is cleaned so the repair bonds to sound concrete.
- 2
Patch with a cement-polymer material
A cement-based material with a polymer additive is used for adhesion and durability, shaped to match the surrounding surface.
- 3
Open and inject cracks
Cracks are opened and injected with a flexible sealant so water stays out and the edges stay tight.
Patching fills the gap between grinding and replacement. It is the right repair for defects that are not a height difference: spalls, chipped edges, and cracks.
CHS uses a cement-polymer patching material for adhesion and a crack injection sealant where an open crack needs to be closed. Both are selected to hold up in a walkway, not just to look finished on the day we leave.
