Usually alligator cracking is caused by excessive deflection of the pavement due to an unstable base or due to repeated traffic loads heavier than what the road was built to withstand. If this cracking is not addressed then it will expand and cause more damage.

All pavement failure starts with a crack. Asphalt cracking is caused primarily by the effects of sun and moisture and ground movements. Asphalt is flexible when new, but with age it becomes more rigid and is less able to tolerate vertical deflections. This causes a tension and pulling apart in the pavement and before you know it you have a crack. Once the crack is open, moisture is able to reach the pavement's subsurface and soften it, or freeze and expand it. See similar questions...

Ding Darling Wildlife Refuge is your best bet to see Alligators, and many other wild animals. Please do not feed the Alligators. It is against the law, and the Alligator will be destroyed by the authorities. See similar questions...

Fatigue cracks are the direct result of excessive bending of the pavement surface. Asphalt will fail if subjected to repetitive or excessive bending as from vehicular traffic. See similar questions...

These defects are generally a result of improper finishing of the concrete. As discussed earlier, the prime factor affecting concrete strength is water/cement ratio. If excess water is added to the surface of the concrete during placement and finishing, the water/cement ratio on the surface may be drastically increased. This condition greatly reduces the strength of the concrete on the surface. Unfortunately, this is where the wear takes place. See similar questions...

Even though most overlays fill and cover most concrete imperfections, it is highly advised that relief-cuts are allowed to remain or be honored. Foundations by nature move. Relief-cuts expandand contract with aesthetic and structural performance when the concrete needs to crack. See similar questions...

Glad you asked. Nationally, every pool service company uses a 2-part epoxy to repair cracks. Unfortunately, new cracking occurs shortly thereafter next to where the repairs were made. With the UltraGuard "T" repair system, cracking will never reoccur. See similar questions...

This is also due to an uneven watering schedule. Try to keep the soil from drying out by watering regularly (be sure to water in the morning). A good idea would be to give plants one deep watering per week for most soil types; two waterings for sandy soils. You should also mulch the plants to help retain moisture. When choosing seeds or starter plants look for varieties that are labeled as crack resistant. See similar questions...

Most foundation cracks are a result of concrete shrinkage while the foundation is drying during construction. Sometimes cracks occur from settling, and usually happen within the first three years of the home. Horizontal cracks may need structural repair, but most cracks are vertical and do not affect the compressive strength of the foundation. However, cracks on outside walls are subject to water seepage and should be repaired. See similar questions...

Cracks in cedar are called “checking” and are a normal aging process in cedar. It is usually most noticeable on edges and drilled holes, where there is more exposed surface area and drying. Checking does not affect the strength of the furniture. Checking adds uniqueness and character for the wood of a natural product. See similar questions...
