Cosmetic Filler vs Damage Repair

Cosmetic Filling- If it is determined that the cracks in the substrate and or chips could hinder the final

appearance or cause issues while applying the epoxy, CES will measure/count and apply the appropriate

cost to patch. Keep in mind that some cracks are not visible until the top cap has been ground off, and the

fee to patch will be due immediately. A change of order or Addendum may be required to continue work

after discovery has been made. Cosmetic fillings are only designed for visual purposes, not as a repair

Damage Repair- Unlike our cosmetic filling, damage repair will add structural durability to the area

applied. We start by using what's called a crack chaser to the crack to open it up which allows more of our

product to enter the damaged area. Typically this product is dry and grindable in 10-15 minutes. Once dry

we will grind the areas smoothly and continue with our prep process. Damage repair is done when the

customer and contractor agree there are structural issues with the substrate. It is always recommended to

have a foundation repair company assess the situation however we understand this may not be financially

friendly to do so. Our damage repair product is a polyurea product that is designed to bond two broken

pieces of slab together. When cured, this product is so hard to even our industrial grinders have a hard

time grinding it smoothly.
