MATTITUCK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Capital Industries, a leader in concrete ceiling crack repair, wants industries to be aware of how recognizing ceiling cracks can save time, money, and valuable property.

Structures are subject to movement over time. Causes of movement include a range of circumstances, including groundwork settlement, weather, moisture, and more. In general, ceiling cracks are the result of either structural damage or aging.

Causes of Ceiling Cracks

1. Moisture
Heavy moisture can significantly damage a ceiling, resulting in water seeping through the roof or upper floors and trickling down. After the initial damage, temperature fluctuation can make matters worse. Moisture will make structures expand and falling temperatures will cause them to contract. These are stressors on materials and joints, leading to cracks.

2. Excessive Weight
Cracked ceilings can be the result of the space above bearing too much weight. The aftereffect of misguided construction can cause it. It could also happen because the installed drywall isn't compatible with other building materials in the foundation.

3. Inferior Foundation

A faulty foundation can influence any number of structural issues. If the foundation's integrity is compromised, it impacts every component of the property. The slightest settling or movement in the foundation potentially alters load-bearing beams and creates cracks.

Types of Ceiling Cracks

1. Spider Web Cracks
These cracks branch out from a center point. If these defects are more than 1/16th of an inch wide, you could be looking at a structural problem that needs cement ceiling repair products.

2. Matching Vertical Cracks
Vertical cracks are usually associated with weak wall studs. Sometimes it happens when a natural disaster jars the settling of the property loose over time. Again, size is a critical factor.

3. Cracks Along Edges
Often the result of natural settling, cracks that run along a ceiling's entire length should be addressed.

MATTITUCK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Leading supplier of concrete floor and driveway repair products, Capital Industries, shares tips on how to fix broken driveway concrete with repair products. Throughout the years, most patios and driveways will develop cracks. Depending on local weather conditions, these could be caused by winter's freezing and thawing cycles, tree roots, and settling of the concrete foundation due to the movement underground.

However, instead of pouring a new driveway or patio concrete slab, consider repairing the cracks with concrete driveway crack filler and repair products. Here's some tips on what to look for and how to fix broken concrete.

What to Look For

Often, smaller cracks will be an indication of settling and sometimes larger problems under the concrete foundation. Try to notice and repair small cracks right away so they don't develop into larger cracks over time.

Even if concrete has seen rough weather through frosts and thaws, has surface level cracks or even potholes, it can still be repaired with a patio or driveway concrete repair product. If the concrete is broken all the way through with deep cracks or has split in two, the concrete may need to be removed or re-poured.

Prepare the Crack for Repair

Before pouring concrete repair product over the crack, it needs to be prepared. Use a hammer or chisel to clear the crack of any loose chips. Any loose concrete should be removed. Clear any dirt and debris off the crack area. The surface should be free from any oil, grease, paint, corrosion, dust, or other surface contaminants.

What Product to Use

FP-300 is a high strength patio and driveway concrete repair product that is designed to use when leveling, resurfacing or patching concrete surfaces. It can be used for concrete floors, driveways, and patios.

With a trowel or screed, smooth the FP-300 across the surface and into the crack of the concrete. Finish smooth with a trowel, wood or sponge float. If desired, use a broom for a rough finish.

If the concrete crack repair is more than 1/2 inch in thickness, Capital Industries recommends using FP-400.
