4. WHY DO SIDEWALK CRACKS APPEAR? Why do sidewalks in residential areas begin to crack? The cracks in the sidewalk you may have noticed could have been caused by a variety of factors. However, these are some of the most common reasons why residential sidewalks crack.

5. SOIL EROSION The most visible cause of cracked sidewalks is the natural occurrence of soil erosion. It is more likely to occur if there have been recent heavy rains or floods, and this weather is unusual for your area.

6. CONCRETE GETTING SETTLED IN You should become accustomed to the fact that concrete settles over time. The area where the concrete is currently lying will eventually level out.

7. LACK OF ENOUGH PREPARATION Before pouring the concrete slab, the original construction crew may have prepared the area. This scenario, while less likely than the others, is still possible. It happens most of the time because the construction crew did not sufficiently compact the dirt before pouring the concrete. It could have serious consequences for the soil beneath the concrete.

8. HOW CAN I REPAIR THE SIDEWALK'S CONCRETE CRACKS? Fractures in concrete structures, such as sidewalks and other buildings, must be repaired in a few simple steps. When mending a concrete crack, use a flexible sealer that can stretch with the movement of the concrete. This is the single most important thing you can do to ensure the integrity of the repair.

9. TO CONTINUE, PLEASE FOLLOW THESE STEPS Remove any material that has become stuck in the crack. For example, filler material will be unable to bond to any loose gravel or other debris in the fracture, rendering restoration ineffective. Chisel out the crack and make an angle cut in the opposite direction. It increases the surface area of the repair, allowing it to adhere more firmly to the primary concrete body. Form a reverse "V" shape to keep the fix from coming undone.
