Concrete Slab Crack &
Joint Repair Services

Concrete is the ideal building material because of its durability, low cost, and easy to apply nature – however, its rigidity means that cracks in slabs and joints are inescapable. Changes in temperature, shrinkage, uneven curing, and more can all lead to cracks.

LRT has worked with commercial concrete structures for years, and our specialists are the best in identifying structural or non-structural concrete slab and joint cracks, and repairing the structure so it is stronger than before. Our specialists will either provide a sealant, coating, additional concrete, or epoxy injection, or caulking to address any flaws. Each approach varies depending on your commercial structure, personal preference, and the nature of the joint or slab crack.

Concrete Joint & Slab Repair FAQs

What commonly causes concrete slab or joint cracks?

Concrete fractures result for a variety of reasons, including:

Poor concrete mix

If excess water or the wrong ratio of concrete to aggregate is used, the quality is impacted. Poor-quality concrete mix typically has lower tensile strengths, which means the structure will crack under a low amount of stress.

Concrete is too thin

Too-thin concrete is likely to crack once it dries. The thinness of the structure also means it is often weak and susceptible to cracks.

Ground movement

Before concrete is laid, a specialist should carefully examine the ground and take into account sloping, how to avoid water retention, proper drainage systems, and lingering root growth. However, soil displacement and other movement can sometimes still take place, resulting in cracked slabs or joints.

When should I repair a cracked concrete slab or joint?

The sooner the repair, usually the lower the cost. When damage is detected early on, it’s easier for our specialists to address the root cause. As a crack worsens, it can become a liability for those walking or driving on the concrete, and even result in chemical spills that might further exacerbate the damage.
