Fast and licensed crack filling in Des Moines

Crack Filling in Des Moines

Crack filling is a specialized service that goes far beyond a simple coat of paint. In Des Moines, properties face extreme weather conditions: deep frost winters and humid summers cause materials to expand and contract, opening cracks in concrete walls, stucco, drywall, and masonry. Our job is to identify the type of crack — whether due to settling, structural stress, or simply aging sealant — and apply the correct technique for a lasting repair.

The process begins with a thorough inspection. Not all cracks are filled the same way: fine ones require a flexible acrylic sealant, while wider or deeper ones need epoxy putty or a patching compound with reinforcing mesh to prevent them from reopening. We clean the crack thoroughly, removing dust, dirt, and any loose material. Then we apply the filler in layers, smoothing it with a putty knife so it is level with the surrounding surface. Once dry, we lightly sand to blend the repair. The result is not just aesthetic: sealing cracks prevents moisture from entering the walls, protecting insulation and preventing mold and structural deterioration. For properties in Des Moines, where freeze-thaw cycles are constant, this preventive maintenance is key to extending the life of facades, basements, and garages.
