CRACK REPAIR
Why are there cracks in concrete?
- Some cracks are meant to be there. They are called control joints and are typically cut in after the concrete is poured to prevent random cracking.
- Random cracks are often caused by stress on concrete such a heavy load on top or often a void underneath the slab.
Why should cracks in concrete be repaired?
- Cracks in a concrete slab can enable water to penetrate and make voids underneath the slab which in turn, will cause settling.
- Unrepaired cracks can deteriate to the point of no longer being repairable.
- Repaired cracks prevent unsightly weeds from growing up and needing to be pulled.
- In the winter snow melt gets in the cracks, freezes and expands causing the cracks to widen.
