Cracked concrete can give homeowners hassles as well as compromise the structural integrity of a driveway, patio, or walkway. Regardless of the origin of the fracture — drying shrinkage, water seepage, thermal movement, or other factors – professionals can take advantage of National Home Improvement Month in May by assisting homeowners in making concrete repairs to their homes
