Concrete Maintenance
Concrete can develop hairline cracks due to normal expansion and contraction. This is considered normal and not a construction defect. Concrete is subject to damage and staining under normal use. Care should be taken to protect it from impact, over stressing and spills.
It is not uncommon for moisture to find its way under the concrete along the edges, expansion joints or through small crack in the surface. In winter, this moisture forms frost that can lift the concrete causing ‘Frost Heaves’.
