Cracked Bricks
Inspect your brick and masonry to look for noticeable changes such as cracking and flaking each day. Most brick and masonry problems can be prevented by maintaining proper drainage systems and preventing water from accumulating on your property.
Expansion Joint Separation
Expansion joints are installed into a structure to help compensate for natural changes. These changes could be small shifts in the earth, humidity, wind, rain, or changes in temperature throughout the seasons. If your structure is settling in one or more corners of the house, it can cause the expansion joint to separate and fail, resulting in even more cracking.
Street Creep
Street creep is a common problem resulting from thermal expansion and contraction of concrete streets and pavement surrounding a property, causing the street to “creep” and exert tremendous pressure at the edge of the path, where the drive way meets a garage slab or house wall.
