Concrete Surfaces
The concrete used around your new home was mixed to industry standards, applied by professionals
and should last indefinitely. Small cracks and minor surface variations are inevitable, even though
expansion joints have been provided to relieve internal stress. Normal cracks do no reduce concrete’s
serviceability.
Concrete foundations, walks and drives may develop cracks or flaking. Any cracks less than the width
of a dime will not be patched unless they are under ceramic, wood or vinyl floors. Cracks greater than
the width of a dime can be filled; however a mismatch of coloring should be expected. No resurfacing
will be done to cover any color differences.
Concrete driveways are not designed to withstand heavy trucks, especially moving vans or concrete
trucks (should you have a concrete patio poured). To protect your driveway, do not allow heavy
vehicles on it.
NOTE: Your home was constructed with a post-tension foundation. There are several tensioned
cables running through your slab. Never jack hammer or break the foundation unless done by a
licensed civil engineer as cutting one of these cables could be dangerous causing serious injury or
damage.
