Concrete crack repair fixes the slab problem before any coating goes down, so cracks don't telegraph back through a fresh epoxy or polyaspartic finish months later. Tempe Epoxy Pros diagnoses whether a crack is settled or still active, since older slabs around Tempe's established neighborhoods often have hairline cracks from decades of expansion and contraction through hot summers and cooler winters.

Flexible polyurethane and polyurea fillers move with the slab instead of fighting it, which matters in a climate where surface temperatures swing widely between seasons.

How it works

How Our Concrete Crack Repair Process Works

  1. Crack Assessment photo
    Step 1

    Crack Assessment

    Cracks are measured and classified to determine the proper repair method.

  2. Debris Removal photo
    Step 2

    Debris Removal

    Loose material and dust are cleared from the crack before repair begins.

  3. Crack Widening photo
    Step 3

    Crack Widening

    Cracks are slightly widened to allow repair material to bond effectively.

  4. Filler Injection photo
    Step 4

    Filler Injection

    A repair compound is injected or poured into the crack to fill the void.

  5. Surface Leveling photo
    Step 5

    Surface Leveling

    The repaired area is leveled flush with the surrounding concrete surface.

  6. Final Sealing photo
    Step 6

    Final Sealing

    A sealant is applied over the repair to prevent moisture intrusion.

Materials

Materials and Methods for Concrete Crack Repair

Crack type determines the right filler. Active cracks that still move need flexibility; settled cracks can take a more rigid repair.

  • Epoxy Crack Filler photo

    Epoxy Crack Filler

    A rigid epoxy filler bonds tightly to restore structural integrity to cracks.

  • Polyurethane Crack Sealant photo

    Polyurethane Crack Sealant

    A flexible sealant accommodates slab movement without cracking again.

  • Semi-Rigid Repair Paste photo

    Semi-Rigid Repair Paste

    A paste material fills narrow cracks while maintaining some flexibility.

  • Concrete Bonding Agent photo

    Concrete Bonding Agent

    A bonding agent ensures strong adhesion between old and new material.

  • Joint Filler Compound photo

    Joint Filler Compound

    A compound designed specifically for expansion and control joint repair.

  • Surface Patch Mix photo

    Surface Patch Mix

    A patch mix restores surface texture after crack repair is complete.

DIY vs pro

DIY vs Hiring a Pro for Concrete Crack Repair

DIYHire a pro
Very fine hairline cracks in a low-traffic area can sometimes be filled with a store-bought caulk-style productA crack router opens the crack to the right width and depth so filler actually bonds instead of sitting on the surface
Fine for cosmetic touch-ups where coating isn't planned afterwardDistinguishing active from settled cracks determines whether a flexible or rigid filler is correct, and getting it wrong means the repair fails again
—Proper prep before coating prevents the crack from reflecting through a new epoxy or polyaspartic topcoat

FAQs

Concrete Crack Repair FAQs

Will the crack show through a new epoxy coating if it's not repaired first?

Uncoated cracks almost always telegraph through new coatings as the slab continues to move, which is why repair happens before any coating is applied.

How do I know if a crack is still active?

Active cracks tend to widen or show fresh edges over time. A technician can check this during the free estimate visit.

What's the difference between epoxy and polyurethane crack fillers?

Epoxy filler is rigid and best for settled, non-moving cracks. Polyurethane filler stays flexible and handles slabs that still expand and contract with temperature.

How much does concrete crack repair cost in Tempe?

Pricing depends on crack length, width, and whether multiple cracks need treatment. Call for a free estimate based on your slab's condition.

Can crack repair be done as a standalone job without a coating afterward?

Though many homeowners pair it with a coating since the repaired crack line is less visible under a full epoxy system.

Does Arizona heat make cracks worse over time?

Repeated heat expansion and cooling contraction can widen existing cracks, which is why flexible fillers are often recommended over rigid ones in this climate.
