Concrete sealers should never be used to repair cracks, unless the crack is considered to be a “spider crack” (a very, very small surface crack that isn’t letting in water). If you have a crack that isn’t considered hairline, you want to use the appropriate type of DIY concrete repair kit. Kits are manufactured for small cracks, large cracks, dry cracks, leaking cracks, wall cracks and floor cracks.

3. There are several companies that manufacture a
“crack sealer.” There are also several companies
that brand hydraulic cement as a crack sealer. The
only problem with most solutions on the market
and with hydraulic cement, is that they are
temporary repair solutions. Over time, 1-5 years, or
when water or moisture becomes an issue, you will
notice a new crack will form around the repair area
or the repaired area will re-crack. If you repair the
crack right the first time, you will save a lot of time
and money down the road.
