Repairing Concrete Cracks and Holes
Though concretes are known for their high level of durability, they also crack, acquire holes and other similar damages due to different factors such as ageing and weather pressure. Because of this, concretes should also be maintained in a regular basis.
If the concretes around your house or building have cracks and holes on them, the following are some of the methods to repair them.

• The hairline cracks that you see on concrete walls could easily be washed away by applying a little amount of grout over them. The grout could only be a mixture of cement and water.
• If you are concealing cracks on walkways or garages which generally withstand heavier pressure or load than other flat-surfaced concrete, using a simple mixture of grout would not be effective. In repairing this kind of concrete damage, covering the cracks with a considerable amount of gravel mix would be better. Remember not to drive your vehicles over the repaired portion of the garage for at least a week. Putting too much pressure on the newly-repaired portion of the concrete may only worsen the damage. The newly-repaired concrete portion needs to dry itself first before it would be able to withstand heavy load once again.
• When patching shallow holes in flat-surfaced concrete like walls and pathways, applying an enough amount of latex cement will do. You should just remember to clean the holes to be patched before applying the said latex cement. Use a wire brush to clean the said holes. A wire brush could completely remove all the loose concrete debris on the said holes by scrubbing it thoroughly.
• Another vulnerable spots of flat-surfaced concretes are its corners. Broken concrete corners could be repaired by applying latex or epoxy cement on it.
