Spotting any cracks along your concrete slabs or within your foundation is always a serious issue. Even smaller cracks can eventually expand down to the foundation. It is not wise to put off repairing these cracks for very long because of this, so you will need to call the concrete experts at Florida Foundation Authority as soon as possible. Setting an appointment with us is very simple. We will visit and inspect your property any time you need us! Of course, not all homeowners will have the time to repair every crack they see in their home. This is why knowing the difference between which cracks may be left alone for a short time and which must be repaired as soon as possible is crucial for all homeowners to know. Any cracks that measure less than 1/8 inch wide are often referred to as hairline cracks and pose little if any, immediate threat to the surrounding concrete or your foundation. You should keep a close eye on any cracks that measure between 1/8 and 1/4 inches wide, though these too can be left alone for some time. You also need to keep in mind that these cracks can expand given enough time, so you should try to make an appointment with our concrete experts as soon as you are available. Any cracks that measure wider than 1/4 inch must be repaired as soon as possible. These cracks pose a threat to both the surrounding concrete as well as your foundation if you do not keep up with its maintenance. It is always a good idea to have your concrete inspected yearly for any problem signs or damage that you may sometimes overlook.
