Sika makes a great line of concrete products. I repaired a leaking foundation crack 9 years ago. Still holding up to the Canadian weather after all these years.

I had a spalled section in my garage floor caused by rebar that was close to the surface - I mixed up some thin-set that I had left over from some tile work, and filled the hole with it. 3 years later, still in place and very solid.

Good video thank you for the information where can I buy one

I've tried mortar mix. I've tried sand mix. I've even sifted gravel out of high strength concrete. If it's on a fault line it will not stay. The only solution is to saw the damaged area out. Then drill a few holes in the sides kinda shallow. Stuff in some chicken wire. Now repatch it. It'll stay this time. Had to do that a few places at my house before it was permanent & didn't chip out.

"that is looking pretty good, my hole is clean" :D

[ToyReviewsAndUnboxing]

That's cool. Now I just wish I had 20 of those kits or one giant one.

Would hitting the area with a pressure washer be beneficial to getting "all" dusty matter out of the area? Then taking measures to make sure the water isn't pooled up or too wet, like dab it with towel or let it dry for 10 minutes.

Will it last a Canadian winter freeze and thaw?

Bottom of cracked big hole in cement walk has dirt at bottom - what do I used to fix that before I patch the thing?

[xro]

Air works great for cleaning the hole. Spray bottle to.

I love the background music in this video where did you get it?

[bestmandodad]

I see maintenance guys filling in holes on the sides of warehouse concrete slabs. But, with the forklifts going the slabs move slightly with the weight so they keep having to do it because the movement breaks the patches.

[KEJohn.]

The information is helpful. Thank you! But the music before the video and during is really stressful.

[janetlea]

can I used if there is dirt under the broken piece of cement I removed

[imawizardfools]

Show what the final dried result looks like.

[esmeee]

"My hole's clean. There's not any dust in there. The only thing is it's dry".
That's what she said.

[psychxward]

I’m trying to fix a giant hole in my patio but the issue is under it is nothing but dirt. I can’t exactly clean it out. Will the patch still hold fine?

[Paradroidx]

[Gondolin]

What if the repair area is at the corner, how do you keep it from pouring out?
