What can be use to repair concrete ceiling crack?
Most concrete roofs follow a similar type of construction. A 10–13 cm thick slab of reinforced concrete with a thin 3-5 cm thick layer of cement on the top. This cement layer is known as a "screed", its purpose is not to waterproof the roof. It is installed to provide a smooth sloping surface so the roof will drain correctly towards the drainage points thereby avoiding water "pooling" on the roof. This type of problem mostly happens to the flat concrete roofs as they are locally constructed. We need to identify precisely where the roof is leaking. It may be useful to expose the roof slab from underneath by removing part of the ceiling below to accurately identify the point of water penetration. Once found, the leak must be fully sealed. This should be done from above as we want to prevent water from getting in. It is very difficult to seal it from below. Attempting to seal the screed is not easy. One crack is all that needed to allow water to penetrate under the screed and from there it may reach large areas of the roof underneath. You will need a Waterseal Crack filler Kit. It is an easy and Permanent solution for roof leakage. Step -1 Use a Hand Scraper Or angle Grinder and remove any residue from Cracks. So Chemical can be filled in it.
