Just looked over repairing cracks in a concrete driveway. Thanks!!! I was afraid I would have to live with these because I couldn’t afford to replace the driveway.

Danny, you and your show are truly consumer advocates!

I see a crack down the center of my garage floor which shows a line of water and another wet line across my garage floor (which in concrete). How can I fix this problem. This is the first time I’ve ever seen this wetness after a wind driven rain storm.

Thank you.

Hi Cecelia,
I’d fill larger holes with a standard concrete mix, troweling it level with the surface. Once it’s set, you could go over the entire area with resurfacer if you wanted it to all have the same texture and color.

Our concrete driveway is in need of repair and some damaged areas are wider than what could be termed a “cracks” — more like a shallow hole and the gravel that lies just under the cement surface is exposed. Can we still use the procedures for “cracked” concrete or do we need to remove large sections of concrete and start from scratch.

I have areas of concrete garage floor which has settled up to 2 inches in places and is also cracked. Is there a product I can purchase to bring the floor level and at the same time repair cracks?

YOUR ANSWER TO WHAT HARD WATER WAS, O.K.,BUT
HOW A WATER SOFENER WORKED,UNTRUTHFUL. THE WATER IS NOT FILTERED THRU SALT TABLETS, IF IT WERE IT WOULD BE FAR SALTIER THAN THE OCEAN AND KILL YOU.
BACK-FLUSHING WITH SALT WATER FLUSHES OUT THE HARD MINERALS AND RE-IONIZES THE FILTER MATERIAL TO ATTRACT THE CALCIUM & MAGNEZIUM.
