What causes concrete to crack or move?

0

Shifting or cracked concrete can be caused by poor drainage, freezing temperatures, burrowing rodents and the rate in which soil compacts. When soil under concrete compacts it can cause a hollow area and pressure points develop. Eventually the weight of the concrete and traffic causes the slab to shift and/or crack. Once this happens, water enters and erodes the soil, making this void larger.
