EDUCATE YOURSELF

Q. I found a crack in the wall of my new house. Should I panic?

A. Cracks happen! Concrete consists of cement, sand, gravel and water. As the water evaporates, the other ingredients cure
into a hard slab. This curing process causes the concrete to shrink, which results in cracks. Most cracks are caused by this
normal curing process or by natural settling of the foundation.
Even in tall buildings, cracks are a fact of concrete, but can cause alarm even among sophisticated homeowners. However,
most concrete cracks pose no structural concern and usually do not indicate any danger that the wall or building is weak.
Bottom line: Cracks are no cause for alarm and can often be repaired, easily, quickly, and affordably.
