Concrete cracks are fairly common, and sometimes they’re nothing to worry about. However sometimes, they can develop into serious problems.
There are a variety of different kinds of concrete crack. If you’re not sure what kind you have, just give us a call, and we’ll help you figure it out.
After investigating what kind of concrete cracks you have, we’ll determine how aggressive the repair needs to be. We generally use a selection of epoxies and polyurea materials, and in many cases, the issue can be dealt with in less than an hour.
Surface cracks and issues can generally be repaired with overlays, as long as the surface is prepared properly.
This means cutting around the edges of the damaged area and removing the affected concrete. We’ll clean, or replace the reinforcing steel, and then place a repair mortar.
If required, we’ll cut out the damaged concrete, replace the reinforcing steel, and then replace the concrete too.
Generally it’s because of shrinkage, which pulls the hardening surface apart, however thermal movement can also cause problems. Rapid drying can also increase the possibility of cracking.
Concrete slabs can shrink over a centimetre for every 100 feet.
