Service overview
What Concrete Crack Repair in Richmond, British Columbia (BC) Actually Involves
Concrete Crack Repair in Richmond, British Columbia (BC) is the process of cleaning, filling, and sealing cracks in poured concrete slabs so water, road salt, and traffic stop widening them. We start by mapping the crack pattern, because a hairline shrinkage crack and a structural crack that runs wall to wall need completely different fixes. Then we chase the crack with a diamond grinding wheel or wire brush, blow out the dust, and pack it with a flexible or rigid filler depending on whether the slab moves. On a typical 20-foot driveway crack, the whole job takes two to four hours. Most Richmond homeowners call us because a crack showed up after a wet winter or because they are planning a garage floor coating and the surface is not flat enough to coat. Water sitting in a crack through a Lower Mainland rainy season will freeze, expand, and pop the surrounding concrete loose within one or two seasons. If you have been typing concrete crack repair near me Richmond into Google while watching a crack creep across your garage floor, that is exactly the call we handle every week.
! Problems we solve
Water pooling in driveway and garage cracks
Standing water freezes, expands, and widens the crack through the winter. Left alone, the surrounding concrete spalls and you end up with a pothole instead of a crack.
Cracks coming back after a cheap patch job
Tube filler and hardware-store patch compounds do not bond to dirty concrete. They pop out within a season, and the crack underneath keeps growing while you are not looking.
Cracks ruining a planned epoxy floor coating
Coating over an open crack traps moisture and causes bubbling epoxy, peeling, and delamination. You end up paying for a coating that fails in the first year, and the fix means stripping the whole floor.
Scope of work
What Our Concrete Crack Repair Includes
Every crack repair job includes the full prep, fill, and finish. Here is what you get when you book us, and what we would quote separately if your job needs it.
-
01
Full Crack Assessment
We measure crack width and depth, check for moisture with a moisture meter, and look for signs of soil movement or drainage problems. You get a written scope and a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
-
02
Diamond Grinding and Cleaning
We open the crack into a clean profile with a diamond grinding wheel, then vacuum out all dust and loose material. This is the step that makes the repair last. Skipping it is why most DIY crack filler fails within a year.
-
03
Filler and Sealant Application
We use the right material for your slab, from a semi-rigid polyurea for moving cracks to a cementitious patch like Rapid Set for stable ones. Larger voids get a primer and a notched trowel pass to bring the fill flush with the surrounding concrete.
-
04
Flush Grinding and Cleanup
After the filler cures, we grind the repair flush so you cannot feel it underfoot or catch a tire on it. We clean up all dust and debris and walk the job with you before we leave. The slab is ready to coat, tile, or drive on.
Why Fix Cracks Before They Spread
A crack that looks cosmetic in October can be a 3-inch-wide gap by spring. These are the four outcomes our Richmond customers care about most.
Book a free assessmentTools and Methods We Use
Concrete grinder with diamond grinding wheel
Opens cracks into a clean, bondable profile and grinds repairs flush with the surrounding slab. We also use it to profile the whole floor before coating.
Moisture meter
Checks the slab for moisture vapor transmission before we fill or coat. High readings mean we need a moisture-tolerant primer or a different repair approach.
Shot blaster
Strips old coatings and profiles large slabs fast. Used on warehouse and commercial jobs where a grinder would take too long.
Sika and Rapid Set repair materials
Sika polyurethane and Rapid Set cementitious patching compounds for filling cracks and rebuilding spalled edges. Both are compatible with the epoxy systems we install.
Local execution
Richmond sits on soft, high-water-table soil, and that shapes every crack repair we do. Slabs here move more than in other parts of the Lower Mainland, which means a rigid filler will crack again within a season. We use semi-rigid polyurea on most Richmond driveway and garage cracks for that reason. The wet season from October to March is when most cracks show up, so we are busiest from late fall through early spring. If you are planning a coating, the best window is late spring through early fall when slab moisture is lowest. We work across every neighbourhood, from Steveston to Burkeville, and we know which areas see more settling cracks and which need a moisture-tolerant primer before coating. For concrete crack repair for Richmond driveways, we also check slope and drainage so water sheds away from the repair instead of sitting on it.

How Our Crack Repair Process Works
On-Site Assessment
We walk the slab with you, measure crack width and depth, and check for moisture with a moisture meter. You get a written scope and a fixed price before we start. Most assessments take 20 to 30 minutes, and we can usually book the actual repair within the same week.
Crack Preparation
We open the crack into a clean V or square-edge profile using a concrete grinder with a diamond grinding wheel, then vacuum out all dust and loose aggregate. This step is what separates a repair that lasts five years from one that fails in five months. Prep alone can take an hour on a long driveway crack.
Filling and Sealing
We pack the prepared crack with the right filler, from a semi-rigid polyurea for moving slabs to a cementitious patch like Rapid Set for stable, non-moving cracks. Larger voids get a primer and a notched trowel pass to level the fill flush with the surrounding concrete.
What Concrete Crack Repair Costs
Concrete crack repair pricing in Richmond depends on crack length, depth, and how much prep the slab needs. We quote a fixed price after an on-site assessment, so you know the number before we start. Most residential jobs fall between $180 and $850 in 2026. Commercial and warehouse pricing is quoted per square foot. If you are also booking a coating, we bundle the crack repair into the coating quote so you see one number for the whole job.
Total crack length and width
A single hairline crack in a garage slab is a quick job. A driveway with 40 feet of cracking and spalled edges takes most of a day. We measure every crack and quote based on total linear feet.
Slab access and prep needed
Cracks in a clear garage floor are easy to reach. Cracks under shelving, behind equipment, or in a tight basement corner take longer. If the slab needs full grinding or shot blasting before repair, that adds to the quote.
Filler type and coating add-ons
A semi-rigid polyurea costs more than a basic cementitious patch but lasts longer on moving slabs. If you add a coating on top of the repair, we bundle the pricing so you get one number for the whole job.

Concrete Crack Repair Questions
How much does concrete crack repair cost in Richmond BC?
Most residential crack repairs in Richmond run $180 to $850 in 2026, depending on total crack length, depth, and access. A single garage slab crack is usually at the low end; a full driveway with multiple wide cracks and spalling edges sits at the high end. Commercial and warehouse pricing is quoted per square foot after an on-site assessment.
Can you repair concrete cracks before epoxy coating in Richmond?
Yes, and you should. Coating over an open crack traps moisture and causes bubbling epoxy and peeling within months. We fill and grind the crack flush, then profile the slab to the correct surface profile before any primer or epoxy resin goes down. This is standard practice on every garage floor epoxy coating we install.
How long does concrete crack repair take in Richmond?
A single garage crack takes two to four hours from prep to final grind. A full driveway with several cracks is usually a one-day job. Larger commercial slabs are scheduled over two to three days depending on square footage. You can typically drive or walk on the repair within 24 hours, and coat it after the filler fully cures.
