The Colosseum in Rome and Hadrian’s Wall near the border between modern-day Scotland and England are two examples of concrete structures that have stood proudly for centuries. And while we don’t all get to build concrete legacies, here in the US of A you can add your office building to the list.
All you need to add is a bit of pride and the correct oversight of your crack and joint repair. Think of the concrete that exists in your commercial work environment as an evolving entity. After all, it does continue to harden as time passes.
Concrete is not impervious to weather, and factors such as extreme temperatures can cause your concrete floors or walls to crack. Not to mention heavy loads such as a company vehicle carrying bulky stock causing a concrete slab to crack, soon becoming unstable and unsafe as an area of passage.
Before concrete areas such as driveways or loading bays become bigger with cracks appearing, call in the experts.
A crack appears in concrete when part of a concrete slab breaks off, sinking into a vacuum (such as soil that has not been properly compacted) below. Moisture then seeps through these cracks and into the underlying ground.
The excess moisture causes the soil underneath to erode further, even washing away completely. The lack of support from the soil causes the concrete slab to crack further and sink into the gap left by the ground that’s washed away. Depending on the severity, you might be left with a gaping hole where your slab of concrete used to be!
