About Hairline Cracks in Concrete

Hairline cracks in concrete are simple to fix and maintain once they are found, though they are quite small and may not be noticeable. When concrete is poured in hot weather, these small cracks can develop in just a few hours after the job has been completed.

These cracks often aren’t too visible, but it is important that once found they are maintained with a concrete filler. The reason for this is because these small cracks often extend through the entire slab of concrete, no matter the thickness.
