Why is my concrete cracking?

• <div><p>Concrete can crack from general wear, improper installation, or in response to uneven support from the soil underneath. Small, thin cracks on the surface of aging concrete are usually a result of normal wear and tear, while <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-freshly-poured-concrete-normally-crack.htm">cracks on new concrete</a> more likely indicate a problem with installation. Larger cracks or uneven steps can signify a much more severe issue. A concrete contractor should be able to diagnose the cause and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-repair-concrete-cracks.htm">repair concrete cracks</a> for you.</p></div>

Q: How do pros prevent future issues in flatwork?

• <div><p>By reinforcing with fibers, sealing surfaces, and ensuring correct drainage.</p></div>

Q: How thick should pervious concrete be?

• <div><p>Pervious concrete should be between 4 and 8 inches thick to drain water properly. Surfaces like parking lots and driveways should be at least 6 inches thick to accommodate the weight of vehicles, while patios and walkways may be poured between 4 and 6 inches thick. There&rsquo;s no standard for pervious concrete thickness, but in most cases, the more weight the surface will need to hold, the thicker it should be. </p></div>

Q: What is concrete resurfacing?

• <div><p>Concrete resurfacing is the process of applying a new, thin layer of concrete over an existing concrete slab to give it a fresh appearance. The new layer is often between 1/4-inch and 1-inch thick, so it involves much less material than you&rsquo;d need to pour a new slab, which is often 4 inches thick. Resurfacing also gives you the opportunity to add color or texture to your slab without totally replacing it. </p></div>

Q: How common are concrete shrinkage cracks?

• <div><p>Concrete shrinkage cracks are very common and should be expected. Even professionals end up with shrinkage cracks on newly poured concrete slabs. Remember that these cracks are not harmful to the slab's strength, though some homeowners do prefer to fill in the cracks for aesthetics. When installing concrete, you can avoid ample concrete shrinkage cracks by avoiding hot, sunny, or windy days.</p></div>
