Common Types Of Concrete Cracks:
It is usual in concrete floors to have breaks. Cracks are widespread in concretes. Following are the most common cracks you will find after looking at them.
- Plastic Shrinkage Cracks: It is perhaps the most common crack. It happens far earlier after the construction of a building is completed. It occurs because the concrete contains a large amount of water (plastic stage). As the water starts evaporating, the concrete shrinks along its sub-base. The resulting stress causes the concrete slab to crack.
- Expansion Cracks: Expansion is another major cause of cracks. It usually occurs due to hot weather. As temperature rises, it leads to an expansion in concrete slabs. Resultantly, the stress on concrete slabs concludes into cracks.
- Cracks Caused by Heaving: Walking on a sidewalk in a garden or park, you may see such cracks. Growing roots of a large tree present near a concrete path usually lift and crack it open. Freezing and thawing in alternate weather patterns also lead to cracks by heaving.
- Subsidence Cracks: It is almost opposite to the Heaving=induced cracks. Generally, it happens when buried pipes or large trees are removed. As there is a large void on the concrete floor, the floor will start to settle. Hence, there is a crack in the end.
- Cracks caused by Excessive Weights: Concrete floors have their weight limits. They can crack due to excessive burden and weight.
When To Start Repair?
The owners are usually confused or reluctant at whether to immediately initiate repairing or delay a little. It is always advisable to start the timely repair of your concrete floor. If an owner delays fixing, he will end up not just with increased cost but also with issues like increased penetration of moisture, expansion of concrete and Structural failure.
That is accessible to approach the result that the building of a house or office needs repair. Usually, cracks start with several fractures of hairline shapes. These small fissures and cracks will enlarge as time passes by. If you observe such cracks, then this is the critical time to contact your contractor and start repair.
Why Is A Concrete Repair Contractor Principal?
Repairing a concrete floor is a delicate process. In cases when cracks are vast, the process is a bit more technical. A person may start improving it on his/her own. It is a meticulous job and needs caution. A person may instead of adequately filling a crack, cause additional damage to it.

They have specialised teams and pieces of equipment. They know the proper steps when repairing a damaged floor. Their strategies include locating the exact cause of a crack and choosing the best material to allow for a building’s needs and functions. They accurately define a concrete joint and clean it. They ensure durability, safety and smoothness of the floor.
