Learn how to repair broken concrete. Repair and fix broken, cracked, chipped or spalled concrete for your driveway, patio, porch or sidewalk.
I'm showing you how to use Rapid Set's Concrete Mix to repair this broken concrete patio deck.
This fast setting concrete repair mix works very good for fixing broken concrete and being able to walk on it in only an hour.
We repaired this damaged concrete entry patio and wheelchair ramp in one day and re-opened it for use the next day.

This is so lovely - we have a well done, but very aged 30 year old driveway. Cost to demo and replace are in excess of $30k. Just totally unaffordable for the average person. Appreciate seeing repair work!

@RimfireAddicted70 2 года назад

This is what quality work looks like from someone who knows concrete and its proper application. Many local "concrete" guys slap anything down, with no prep and nmo understanding of how it works leading to wasted time and money. Great work!!!

@AndyB718 3 года назад

Nice to see someone's not refusing smaller work. I hope they remember this when it does get redone

@800acceptnoimitation 3 года назад

Wow... Looks awesome for not replacing the whole thing. Great bang for the buck... Great value for the owner. I had super low expectations for this one, but it turned out great.

@djratino 2 года назад

I've never used the quick set concrete before. I normally use a topping sand mix. I've had better luck wetting the old place first. Some places I clean with muriatic acid first. My hardest repairs is fault lines. It'll keep cracking. I run a diamond saw through the repair where the expansion joint normally falls, but was never cut. I use a vinyl mix to top older work in good shape to give it that new look. It wears off after a few years. I try to avoid salt on icy sidewalks. That's what eats them up the worst even though many salts claim it doesn't attract concrete. I think they all do.

anchors are a good practive, so is vaccumming the substrate and moistening it. If you want to slow the set down, use other standard bagged concrete 50/50 with the quickset. nice vid, looks good

@queenslander954 2 года назад

Yea mate great video , we do the same thing down-under , but always wet down the ground or bed of old concrete first before troweling the mix in , so the dryness doesn’t suck the moisture out of the mix too early , like ordinary cement.

A driveway will carry more weight so there might be other considerations

I've done homemade asphalt. Ground old asphalt, diesel fuel, and bagged asphalt from Lowe's. Takes a month to cure. Then I use blacktop sealer over that.

@dannyg.781 2 года назад

@1sttigertiger426 3 года назад

Would a bonding agent or dampening the surface been better to reduce cracking?

@vrod1a 3 года назад

Great job and nicely explained 👍

@nbco55 3 года назад

You do good work. I'm thinking that maybe the subsurface should have been wet before pouring the rapid set in, or even on acrylic binder mixed with water to pre-saturate and create a better bond. That's what we always did on concrete parking ramp structures.

@danielmarkle8823 4 месяца назад

Very impressive work !! I learned a lot watching this video !!! Thank you so much.... I have a question though. I have a radiator shop and my slab where I wash my radiators, the acid I use to clean them has over time caused the concrete to start getting thin and starting to open up cracks, but only in one spot where I wash about 3'X4', that is at a slight drop to my drain. Will I need to cut that whole spot out or is there a way I can lay another layer on top ?? Any info would be amazing.... Thanks !!

Good job. Good video. Nice to see the action in progress. Also, good for the multiple "warnings" about setting up fast. Without that MANY amateur (like me) home owners would be way over their head in deep trouble as this material set up, and the job was only partially finished. I would hire you any day. Thanks.

@lovera3878 2 года назад

looks good. I had a patio poured a couple of months ago. There was some mud in the area and I have notice places in the slab where the mud is close to the top and now I find myself having to repair those holes. I assume I have to clean the area well and get rid of any loose debris. What is the best product I can use for those patches. Are additives a good idea? .

@libertarian1637 2 года назад

Both the blue (CementAll) and brown (Mortar Mix) have sand in them, the blue is simply a much finer sand, it also has a slightly higher proportion of cement. I like RapidSets products, even without stone as an abrogate the CementAll gets quite strong, 9,000 PSI, and can work well for a lot of things. The RapidSet line was actually developed out of an Air Force need for rapid runway repairs and it delivers those fast and strong repairs to this day. While each advertise a 15 minute work time that can be restricted or expanded by temp; the set control buys about 20 minutes per baggie, up to 4/55 lb bag, and flow control is also available to thin things out without adding more than 5 qts of water per 55 lb bag. I’ve used CementAll with flow control for years as a concrete resurfacer and have never had an issue with it popping off, and that’s in NY; just make sure things are well hydrated and clean of any dust, grease, etc. and if you want you can also use a bonding agent, which can help with older concrete.

@aaronnester5132 6 месяцев назад

The painting company I used to work for used the blue and yellow for stucco repairs and texture on million-plus dollar homes, never had a call back. I've watched a little bit of Mike Haduck Masonry and he uses the brown as a medium concrete on stuff like porches or sidewalks. I think you nailed it with your explanations.

@andrewsteele7663 3 года назад

I just love concreting, and am really interested in how the second section would hold up, that is the section that was the largest on the lower ramp. Mainly because you did not remove a lot of older concrete on the upward side of the repair, cheers, I have subscribed.

@letfreedomring43 Год назад

Hey Mike , how did you feather those edges in? I'm doing a repair just like this.

@terrytytula 2 года назад

The one thing that you forgot to do is to wet the area where you pouring the concrete , And you need to wet it not once but twice. As you know concrete curing is a chemical reaction. If you pour concrete on a dry surface, the surface will suck the water out of the concrete preventing it from properly curing, thus preventing the new concrete from properly bonding to the old.

@goldbeach7896 2 года назад

@@cameronb6498 Elementary, amateurs! What a wasted effort. Anyone that worked patching concrete knows that it must be well moistened before patching over it. Sad, a waste of effort and a loss of money for sure.

@@spiro4733 Now we have people following the wrong teacher and the wrong method. A waste of material. Many imposters out there that do more harm than good. Been retired for twenty years, but still do a lot of cement mixes for my own projects. It is sad what we witnessed.

@michaellondonxxx4860 2 года назад

My thoughts exactly as somebody who has done DIY repairs to my concrete driveway. My understanding is that concrete should be applied to a wet surface so that it adheres well.

@johnmainwaring6556 2 года назад

Tidy end result... for now. As a DIYer, even I noticed straight away a rookie error that the sub material hadn't been made wet, which compromises the bond between the old and new. Were they were following some off the wall instruction specific to that product? Seems unlikely.
