This tool is for small non-structural concrete crack filling only. It may include concrete crack filler, flexible sealant, backer rod if selected, patch compound if selected, wire brush or scraper, cleaning supplies, caulk gun if needed, basic tools, and cleanup supplies. It does not include structural foundation cracks, large slab movement, major settlement, heaving concrete, drainage correction, resurfacing a full slab, concrete replacement, epoxy injection, waterproofing systems, trip hazard grinding, permits, engineering, or professional labor. Cracks that are wide, moving, leaking, uneven, or structural should be inspected by a qualified professional. Real costs can change based on local prices, crack length, crack width, crack location, product type, surface condition, prep level, accessory needs, tool needs, and cleanup.
