contraction, settling, or excess weight.

A concrete slab's durability makes it ideal for a sidewalk, patio, or driveway; but because it's so rigid
at some point cracking is inevitable. The quickest, easiest way to fill those cracks is with a pre-
mixed, liquid, concrete crack sealant that matches the color of concrete.
First, remove any dirt or debris from the crack. As you pour in the liquid, it fills the void and adheres
to the surrounding concrete. Slightly overfilling the crack allows for settling, and a flush finish when
it dries.
