How is sealant applied to my concrete cracks and joints?
- The existing cracks/joints are cleaned to remove debris. Grinding is often done to facilitate this.
- Sand or foam backing rod is placed in the joint to provide a base for the sealant.
- Industrial grade urethane sealant is then applied to the cracks/joints.

What are the advantages of sealing cracks/joints?
- Sealing helps prevent water erosion, which can lead to future concrete settlement and cracking.
- Sealing helps reduce subsurface moisture that can contribute to slab heaving during winter freezing conditions.

How long do I have to stay off the area after the sealing has been completed?
- Depending on the weather conditions, the sealant is usually tack-free in 3-5 hours. Final cure ranges between 2-4 days. Another factor determining final cure is the width and depth of the joints with the wider joints taking longer to cure.
- If any debris gets into wet sealant, do not attempt to remove. Wait until sealant has dried and debris can be rubbed off joint.

What is the warranty on sealing?
- Our sealing is guaranteed for 2 years from the date completed unless otherwise stated in the work proposal.
- Although sealing helps reduce heaving during the winter, we cannot guarantee against failure due to slab movement in winter weather conditions.
- On occasion some small bubbles may appear in the sealant. This does not diminish the effectiveness of the product and doesn’t warrant resealing.
