Concrete is one of the most commonly-used building materials because of its strength and durability. Unfortunately, if you live in a geologically-active region like California, crack repairs are common and even the strongest concrete mixture is no match for the forces of nature. But this doesn’t mean you can no longer do something about the floor cracks that appear and cracked walls at home. You’re in luck because when it comes to crack repairs especially on floors and walls, you can trust on Extreme Industrial Coatings to give you the best solution including to address your structural cracks.
Why Do Concrete Slabs Crack?
There are many reasons why California concrete walls and floors crack. We already mentioned about geological forces in San Diego that somehow create a tear in the concrete matrix of the floor. With the shaking of the Earth, it is but natural that shearing forces will somehow tear apart any concrete slab. However, the floor and/or wall cracks can be worsened by the presence of factors that may have already weakened the concrete structure.
For example, if there was too much water in the concrete mix during the construction of your San Diego home or building, this can lead to a significantly weaker concrete matrix. A single movement in the earth’s crust can already tear the floor or even the walls apart. Majority of California construction firms today use an unusually large amount of water in the cement mixture since this makes it a lot easier to work with.
Unfortunately, once the mixture has dried and all the excess water has been removed, the concrete actually shrinks. With shrinkage, different areas of the concrete pull against each other, causing wall cracks and foundation problems. Call us for your questions on slab and foundation repair, floor cracks and crawl space concerns.
Another reason why there can be cracks on your floors or walls is that the concrete was allowed to dry in a very short period of time. Inadequate curing of the concrete slab retains moisture within the concrete itself. Again this leads to structural problems related to strength.

When the type of concrete that was used in the building of your home was of a substantially different strength, there is a tendency that cracks will also occur. Cement comes in different strengths so pouring the wrong strength of concrete into your wall or floor can also result in the formation of slab cracks.
These are just some of the reasons why you can have cracks on your walls or your floor. Regardless of the cause of the slab or floor cracks, understand that the basic problem is a loss of or a reduction in the strength of the concrete. This is why you will need Extreme Industrial Coatings’ comprehensive crack repair solutions.
