Cracked Concrete

What Is Cracked Concrete? 

Cracked concrete refers to the occurrence of lines, splits, or fractures in the concrete surfaces around your home. This damage can range from minor surface lines or hairline cracks to significant fractures that penetrate deep into the concrete, potentially compromising structural integrity.

Cracks are common and can happen on many concrete surfaces, including: 

Additionally, other damage can accompany cracking: 

• Concrete pitting, flaking, and staining
• Sinking concrete slabs

Concrete cracks and other damage affect your home’s aesthetic value and pose serious tripping and safety hazards, requiring immediate attention and remediation. It may be tempting to delay repairs, but quick action is essential to prevent further damage. 

Why Your Home Has Cracked Concrete 

Cracked concrete can occur due to various reasons, including: 

• Settling and eroding soil 
• Excessive rain, flooding, or snowmelt 
• Freeze-thaw cycles 
• Improper drainage 
• Invasive tree roots 
• Poor concrete pouring 
• Issues with curing during installation 
• Normal shrinkage, wear, and tear 

These factors can damage concrete and severely impact the home’s foundation. Settlement and movement of soil beneath concrete slabs, combined with external pressures and weather conditions, often cause concrete cracks, leading to long-term structural and safety issues if not addressed promptly. 

Can You Fix Cracked Concrete? 

Yes, cracked concrete can be fixed. It’s essential to repair cracked concrete as soon as you notice a problem, as significant damage limits repair options. 

While you might be tempted to try quick fixes like sealing the cracks or investing in traditional repair methods like mudjacking, this won’t address the underlying causes. As the damage worsens, repairs become more complex and expensive. 

Adopting a comprehensive solution to address the underlying issues effectively is vital. At JES Foundation Repair, we provide comprehensive services and solutions beyond superficial repairs, ensuring lasting results and preventing future occurrences. 

We utilize cutting-edge polyurethane injection technology, PolyRenewal™, to lift cracked and sinking exterior concrete surfaces. For homes with foundation problems, our professionals may recommend other solutions, such as foundation piers or slab piers, designed to stabilize and, in some cases, raise sinking slab foundations. 

No two homes are alike; each requires customized repairs tailored to its unique needs. Our team will evaluate your property and determine the ideal long-term solutions to fix your home’s concrete and foundation problems.
