ARE CRACK REPAIRS PERMANENT REPAIRS?

Usually not. Cracks are filled more so than repaired. If a repaired / filled crack continues to grow or flex, the repair or filler will open. Smaller cracks that are repaired with a trowel applied material are more likely to open than large cracks treated with hot applied filler material. CRACK REPAIRS DO NOT ELIMINATE THE CAUSE OF THE DEFECT, BUT RATHER SLOW DOWN THE DETERIORATION PROCESS.
