‼️CONCRETE MYTH vs. FACT SERIES‼️
❌ MYTH: If concrete cracks, it means it was poured wrong.
✅ FACT: All concrete has the potential to crack. As concrete cures, it shrinks and moves with changes in temperature and the ground underneath it.
That’s why proper ground prep, reinforcement, concrete thickness, and control joints matter. Control joints are intentionally placed to help encourage cracking to happen where it’s planned instead of randomly across your slab.
Good concrete work isn’t about pretending concrete will never move. It’s about doing the prep and details right from the beginning.
