What is the most common cause of concrete cracks?

• <div><p>The most common cause of concrete cracks is shrinkage when the concrete hardens and cures. The stress from the shrinkage exceeds the concrete’s strength. Concrete cracking can also occur when it experiences extremely cold or hot temperatures, such as a particularly harsh winter or a firepit built into a concrete patio.</p></div>

How long does it take to build a concrete driveway?

• <div><p>Building a concrete driveway normally takes between one and three days, including the time to cure the concrete. Wait at least seven days <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-before-drive-on-concrete.htm">before driving on your driveway</a> and two days before walking on it. Your contractor may require additional time if you need to level the ground, install a drainage system, or order special concrete materials. Installing a driveway also often requires a permit, so be sure to include this wait into your prep time as well.</p></div>

Q: Can tree roots break through concrete?

• <div><p>Tree roots don&rsquo;t necessarily break through concrete on their own, but they can certainly take advantage of existing cracks, even very small ones. As roots grow, they expand the cracks, making them larger and leading to serious and costly foundation damage. It&rsquo;s a good idea to have repairs on any <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/quarter-inch-crack-my-foundation-major-concern.htm">foundation cracks you&rsquo;re concerned about</a>. </p></div>

Q: How does spraying concrete with water help it cure successfully?

• <div><p>Yes, spraying water on the surface helps concrete cure evenly by preventing the top layer from curing long before the wet bottom layer cures. Otherwise, the top layer will cure and shrink, creating tension, and this tension will tear the top and bottom layers apart, creating a weakened slab. Water prevents this from occurring.</p></div>

Q: Does your concrete floor really need a professional moisture test?

• <div><p>You primarily need to be concerned about the moisture level in concrete when you are dealing with a basement or other below-ground part of your house. If you find any indication of moisture in your subterranean space, consider calling in a professional for further testing and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/control-humidity-your-home.htm">moisture control solutions</a>.</p></div>
