Common Causes of Concrete Cracks
Concrete cracks for various reasons, including:
- Soil Shifting: Natural soil movement beneath the slab can lead to cracks.
- Freeze-Thaw Cycles: Water that freezes and expands inside small cracks can cause the cracks to grow.
- Heavy Loads: Overloading concrete surfaces, such as driveways, can lead to stress and cracking.
- Poor Installation: Concrete that wasn’t properly installed or cured may be more prone to cracking.
Our Concrete Crack Repair Process
At RhinoLift, we use industry-leading techniques to repair cracked concrete surfaces:
- Inspection and Assessment: We begin by assessing the damage to determine the root cause and the best repair method.
- Crack Filling and Stabilization: Depending on the severity, we may use high-strength fillers or polyurethane injections to stabilize the crack and prevent further damage.
- Finishing and Smoothing: After the repair, we ensure that the surface is smooth and visually blends with the surrounding concrete.
- Preventative Measures: We’ll also recommend ways to prevent future cracking, such as addressing drainage issues or soil stabilization.
