Tripping Hazard
When there is a cracked concrete somewhere, there will be a real risk of tripping. In some places, this has been subject to several lawsuits as some ladies have their high heels caught in cracked sidewalk.
Damage To Cars
It may not be easy to tell how deep a concrete crack is particularly when there is water held in it. Motorists may not be able to slow down if they are unable to determine the depth of the cracked concrete. A cracked concrete that has gone deep may damage the vehicle and even pose a danger to other road users.
Mold Exposure
Molds usually tend to grow in the cracks of concrete when water settles in them. This is a typical case when the cracked concrete is in a place like a basement garage, warehouse, or any other hidden and dark place.
Mold can cause serious health complications to the occupants of a particular building. The owner of the property may also be forced to fight some legal battles at the court.
It is therefore very imperative to clear the cracked concrete mess before it creates other serious hazards.
It May Cause Slipping & Falling
Since the ice in the concrete cracks is always slippery, those who are walking or even riding are at higher risks of slipping and falling.
Worsening Damage and Higher Repair Costs
As time goes on the damages will continue to get worse until the damages become complete structural failure. At that point entire slabs will require demolition, removal, and replacement.
