Every crack or gaps in concrete can actually make your patios or poll decks look dirty and unkempt. More than an eyesore, it can trip you or your family members or friends and on top of that, water and dirt can easily accumulate in those cracks and gaps. The water that accumulates in those cracks can freeze and expand (a property of water) and make the cracks get bigger and the concrete uneven. These cracks and gaps can appear in sidewalks and driveways, patios, as well as around the foundation of your home and between concrete slabs too.
Many things around us can lead to crack formation and gaps such as root growth, extreme weather conditions, and standing water. The main culprit that causes cracks is water. Whenever there is an improper drainage of water, which can seep into the wake sections in the concrete and create cracks and gaps.
As mentioned above water that get into the cracks and joints freezes, expands leading to bigger longer and deeper cracks, and finally lead to foundation damages, wet moist basements and crawl spaces and unhealthy and unsafe house. Cracked patios, walkways, and driveways are the leading reasons that cause damp and moldy basements and crawl spaces.
