Crack Assessment
We look at the width, length, location and movement of each crack to judge whether it is surface or something more.
Crack Repair and Sealing in Dubai
Cracks and joints opened, filled and sealed so water cannot get in
In Brief
Crack repair and sealing is filling and sealing cracks and joints in walls, slabs, roofs and floors so water cannot enter. The crack is cleaned and opened, filled with a material suited to the crack, and finished, and we advise whether a crack is a surface issue or a sign of movement that needs further attention.
Not all cracks are the same. Fine surface cracks in plaster or paint are common and mostly cosmetic. Cracks in concrete, around openings or along joints can let water into the structure. A crack that keeps widening may be caused by movement, and filling it without understanding the cause only hides the problem for a while.
We look at the crack's width, length, location and whether it moves, then choose the repair. Fine cracks can be filled and sealed on the surface. Wider or leaking cracks are opened out, cleaned and filled with a suitable material, and moving joints get a flexible sealant. If we think a crack points to a wider structural issue, we tell you and recommend that it be checked by the right professional. Crack repair is often combined with roof waterproofing or with painting afterwards, and the wider service is on our waterproofing page.
