It is possible to use a non-shrink grout as nicely, but it’ll want the addition of concrete glue. grout is a cement product, but without sand or gravel it is fairly weak and will neither bond properly with adjacent concrete nor hold up nicely. Concrete glue is obtainable in quart jars that’s merely mixed right into the grout combine and it each strengthens the grout and offers a bond to the surrounding concrete on the edges of the crack. For giant quantities of labor it is probably cheaper to buy non-shrink grout as it typically comes in 50 pound luggage for little more cost than the 20 pound crack repair cans.

Scott is superb at what he does. I contacted him through e-mail with pictures of two areas that wanted to be repaired (plaster and drywall) and he responded within a couple of hours with a quote and a couple of decisions for day/occasions to return for the repair (he was at our house within three days of my contacting him!). We are working through a number of tasks on our house and I cannot inform you how refreshing it is to work with somebody who is responsive, professional, straight to the point and does a superb job. I will completely be using him once more on some future projects we’ll need addressed. Thanks Scott!
