What Is Saw and Seal Concrete Cracks and Joints?
Saw and seal concrete joints and cracks (sometimes referred to as crack chasing, saw-cut crack repair, or routing and sealing concrete cracks and joints) is a two-part process commonly used in concrete construction to control and manage cracking, and to protect the surface from water and debris intrusion.
Routing Cracks and Joints: Involves enlarging an EXISTING crack into a clean, uniform groove (often V‑shaped) before filling with sealant. It prepares dormant cracks for sealing and used on EXISTING cracks in slabs, pavements, or walls.
Sawing Joints: Involves cutting NEW, straight joints into concrete using a saw to control cracking and relieve stress. Its purpose is to creates NEW controlled and expansion joints to manage shrinkage or movement, preventing random cracking.
Sealing Cracks and Joints: is the process of filling joints and cracks with a flexible sealant after routing cracks or sawing joints. This method prevents water ingress, provides a strong moisture barrier, reduces deterioration, and extends the lifespan of concrete structures. By sealing joints or cracks after routing or sawing, the repair is completed with durable protection, ensuring the surface remains safe and resilient against traffic, weather, and chemical exposure.

(Rout) Saw and Seal Concrete Process
Inspection & Planning
Assess pavement type, traffic loads, and environmental conditions. Identify areas prone to cracking or requiring controlled joints.
Precision Concrete Saw or Routing Cracks
A specialized concrete saw or crack chaser with a V-shaped or U-shaped diamond blade is used to deliberately cut or widen the existing, irregular crack into a clean, uniform “sealant reservoir.”
Joint Cleaning & Preparation
Before sealing, the sawed/routed joints must be completely clean to ensure strong sealant adhesion.
Concrete (Control or Expansion) Joint Sealing
High-quality sealants or fillers are applied to the cut channels. These materials are designed to withstand temperature changes and moisture.
Tooling and Curing
The sealant is tooled (smoothed) and allowed to cure fully before being exposed to traffic.
