A crack is a long narrow depression on any surface. These cracks are mostly seen on foundation walls, garage floors and even at times in the ground pool. The presence of a crack is the source of trouble since, if it’s not repaired on time, it will cause more damage, and also a lot of money and resources will be spent. The crack widens as time goes by and, if not taken into consideration, it may result in water seepage, and in a severe situation, the building may even collapse. There is an excellent way to repair any identified crack to avoid all these problems.

Causes of Cracks

The primary reasons for cracks include:

• Drying shrinkage – lack of moisture on the floor causes the foundation to shrink hence a crack begins to appear. Inadequate humidity may be as a result of vegetation presence or even damaged drains.
• Ground movement- in a situation where the clay shrinks, landslip, and vibrations occur this leads to a crack in the various building.
