Cracked Concrete

Yes, there are several variations of cracks. Static, hairline cracks are cracks that have already been formed, as well as stabilized. Most are caused by natural settling following construction, including concrete. Static cracks no longer expand and, unless they are huge or deep, pose little damage to your property or concrete. Active cracks are still forming. Their location, direction, and depth can help diagnose problems. Deep cracks and gaps in concrete slabs resemble active, spreading cracks, yet they cut through concrete. They, too, cause significant movement and unevenness in the concrete due to shifting and unstable soil. 

While it may seem like the easier option to fix the cracked concrete on your own, it is not something that we recommend. In order to save money, many homeowners prefer to repair their own properties. However, the harm caused by an amateur can often be more costly than the repair done by a professional. At Dry Pro, we can easily repair your cracked concrete by using PolyRenewal™, a polyurethane injection. This product is injected into the concrete where it will expand and cure within 15 minutes. This will lift the concrete, filling in cracks and gaps.  

Many homeowners wait too long to address their concrete crack problems. This is usually because it appears to be a minor issue, and other times because the repairs appear to be excessively costly or time-consuming. Waiting too long is a mistake since it will only make the problem worse and the solution more expensive.  

However, there are advantages to not waiting too long and responding once you detect that the fractures are a concern. The most obvious benefit is that the repair will be completed faster and at a lower cost. Acting early also eliminates the need for more difficult repairs, such as concrete replacement.
