Assessing Your Cracks When trying to determine whether or not a crack or gauge in your concrete is worth worrying about you should first always consider the purpose of the particular concrete installation. Different types of cracks and can affect different things like appearance and performance, so you wouldn't want to find yourself with a safety hazard by having uneven concrete slabs or pavement. One of the first things you'll need to take a look at is the width of the cracks. When done by a professional this is usually done using a crack comparator card to be able to classify just how serious the issue is and what type of repairs, if any, are possible. The base material, grade of soil underneath, crack width and loading of the slab are all also taken into account to determine if a vertical slab alignment is possible. Once this is determined, our professionals can give you a quote on what they would suggest for a repair! We can help with your concrete repair Phoenix has always known. Why You Have Concrete Cracks There are so many reasons why your concrete patio or driveway may be cracking, but a lot of times people want to know if it is something they could have avoided. We are here to tell you that in most cases it's just the result of mother nature. Some of the common issues we see are plastic shrinkage, expansion & contraction, heaving & settling, overload or improper drying. Many of these can be avoided by hiring a professional with a great track record of quality work to take care of you. Sometimes the issue can be repaired, sometimes a full replacement may be suggested. Why Act Now! Unless you have a minor cosmetic issue in your concrete you should consider having it inspected by an experienced contractor. This is especially the case if the concrete is part of any sort of support structure as it could pose a major threat to safety. If the cracks are due to water getting in and freezing over and over which happens a lot in colder climates, the problem will just get worse until it is really expensive.
