Q: How do you prevent concrete cracks from forming?

• <div><p>Unfortunately, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-prevent-concrete-cracks.htm">concrete cracks happen</a>, so there&rsquo;s no surefire way to avoid them long-term. To slow down the cracking, apply a sealant every two to three years and use sand rather than salt to melt snow or ice. Using salt speeds up the freeze-thaw cycle, which may increase the likelihood of cracking. Additionally, keep vehicles and heavy machinery off of your concrete, as the weight can lead to more cracking.</p></div>

Q: What is the lifespan of a concrete wall?

• <div><p>Concrete walls last anywhere from 30 to 100 years. In many cases, concrete walls will last longer with proper support and ongoing maintenance. Some concrete foundations, for example, could last up to two centuries when properly maintained. Toward the end of its life span, however, it's critical to have a structural engineer examine the concrete wall for potential signs of decay.</p></div>
