Why is my concrete driveway cracking?

Question

Thin shards of concrete have cracked and come loose from the surface of my drive. What can I do about it?

Arfan · Answer

This is either due to incorrect concrete for the job ie for cars ect will be different to concrete laid just for a base or walking on!!! Other problem could be that is was not laid thick enough!! U could just cut a little out were is cracked and re do a small bit and also see how thick it is and if you are lucky it will be OK and you can just fill the small area with concrete

Your concrete should of been rock solid ground and made to last who ever put it in did not compress or make it deep enough. It can be fixed if filled in to take the noticeable effect off it

This is because the concrete has not been made using the right sealing material and potentially not enough metal rebar supporting the mix

The foundation is no good underneath the concrete driveway Adam ? Very fine surface cracks, sometimes called “crazing,” are an indication that the surface of the concrete dried too quickly when was poured into your drive way ?

All depends on mix used by the contractor you might have tree near buy might be some roots disturbing the driveway

Shane · Answer

It could just be surface cracks which is normal to be fair it’s just wear and tear , it could be because the concrete wasn’t laid concrete not tamped out right and then you get week spots and that’s where it starts to deteriorate especially when the frost get it in the winter Iv been doing concrete works for a long time

Darren · Answer

Simple answer they have not put expansion lines in and used a crap mix it would have to be redone again try contacting the contractor and ask him to rectify
