Crack in cement floor of resdential ranch, crack runs left to right ( if facing front of house), tile was taken up and I verified that there was no moisture coming through. I checked around walls and did not see any indication that the cement floor has dropped. I am thinking it might be caused by roots? (very big pin oak (2 of) 15-20 feet away from house, ). If it is roots, would slab jacking be a waste untill roots are taken care of ?Thanks!
I am interested about it. But it is the same questions of me. What's the solution of that.
with out busting all of it our and re-pouring or jacking the two aspects to point and shimming the slab, your recommendations are as follows: you will get cement patch. you will get it in a tube or a small bucket counting on the quantity you will choose. this patch is versatile and could flex through fact the slab strikes with the temperatures. dig out as lots airborne dirt and airborne dirt and dust as you could from the crack and fill it point with the patch. then you definately can leave it and contact it stable or you could take it a step extra desirable and get some floor leveling compound and pour a skinny coat (some million/2) over the precise of the excellent floor to point it. later you could tile or lay vinyl floors striking over this. even however, if the crack is new, i could advise waiting some months to verify if the slab keeps to circulate as there's a bearing directly to underlying situation which incorporate a sinkhole or root device inflicting the cement to buckle.
