Sidewalk & Driveway Restoration
Joint Seal is a Toronto-based company specialising in thin patch applications and extensive crack repair, which let us fully restore sidewalk slab geometry. In most cases, there is no need to recast concrete slabs.

Concrete Sidewalk & Driveway Repair
We restore concrete sidewalks and driveways, and do concrete walkway repair through extensive crack filling and thin patch applications.
Our specialised industrial-strength materials and repair procedures allow us to avoid sidewalk and driveway replacement — it is only done if specified by engineers. Materials are tested to MTO standards to last 25 years.
Why Sidewalks & Driveways Break
Concrete tends to crack as it ages, especially when exposed to weather elements, as is the case with sidewalks and driveways. Due to high traffic, these concrete surfaces degrade faster.
If crack repair and/or patching is done in a timely manner, in most cases sidewalk and driveway replacement can be avoided.
Our Solutions
We repair broken-up concrete sidewalks and driveways through thin concrete patching, which provides complete restoration. We can also level slabs by applying thin patches and, when necessary, lift sidewalk slabs to even them out by filling the void underneath.
In areas where patching is not an option, engineers specify replacement: old concrete is removed, a form is installed with a bond breaker between plates, and a new slab is poured and finished.
Application Benefits
Thin patch applications allow us to do concrete driveway resurfacing and complete sidewalk restoration — full demolition and recasting are usually not necessary.
Unlike traditional methods that require a two-inch demolition, we patch as thin as 5 mm, saving time and labour. Extensive closures are avoided, and the monolithic adhesion of our products makes repairs efficient and lasting.
Our Repair Methods
Sidewalk & Driveway Repair
Our industrial-strength adhesives and polymer cement let us repair cracks and install thin patches instead of demolishing and recasting slabs — saving cost, labour and time.
Crack Repair
To repair a crack on any concrete surface, a clearly defined procedure is followed: cracks are prepped and coated with a specialised, industrial-strength adhesive, then filled with polymer cement and sealed with a waterproofing primer.
Concrete Patching
Concrete driveway and sidewalk resurfacing is possible through thin patch applications — our industrial-grade materials permit patches as thin as 5 mm.
Where traditional methods would require large parts of the slab to be demolished and recast, our specialised concrete adhesives and polymer cement make repair or resurfacing much more cost-effective and faster, with long-lasting results.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Our sidewalk has many cracks — does it need replacing?
Not with our methods. Industrial-strength adhesives make lasting sidewalk repairs possible.
Is it possible to patch a sidewalk?
Yes. Our specialised methods and adhesives bond new concrete to the existing surface.
Can my sidewalk be levelled?
Yes. Polymer cement with our adhesives allows thin patching to level sidewalks without full demolition.
