Why You Should Repair Walkway Cracks Immediately

walkway crakcs

Walkway cracks are every property manager’s nightmare as they can turn a small problem into a major liability. Walkway cracks happen for various reasons, so they need to be dealt with accordingly. For example, when concrete dries, it shrinks, causing it to crack. This is actually why a builder will make lines, or expansion joints, in a sidewalk to prevent walkway cracks from randomly occurring.

Builders place expansion joints in fresh concrete with saws or grooving tools. The joints are made deep enough and placed in fresh concrete before the concrete dries and has a chance to create its own joints, otherwise known as cracks.

Regardless of why a walkway cracks, people responsible for repairs after it is built, need to consider how damages to sidewalks will affect the people who use them. They can quickly become trip hazards and need to be dealt with ASAP. Getting these trip hazards fixed, as opposed to replacing the walkways altogether, is cost effective, safe and even environmentally responsible.
