Why concrete sinks...
There are numerous reasons that explains why concrete sinks: improper compression of soil during or following the building process, water intrusion from bad drainage, and natural settlement.
Soils consist of solid particles and the spaces (voids) in between these particles. However, void spaces in dirt causes huge issues for structures and concrete slabs. Concentrated loads, including buildings or slabs, can literally press air and liquid from soils. When this occurs, the dirt sinks and the structures or slabs follow directly behind.
Breaks in floor surfaces take place for several reasons such as preliminaryshrinkage, vaporization of surface water, irregular supports with heavy loads,and thermal movements. A majority of these situations can present opportunities for repair that'll work well as time passes. You should keep in mind that the floor is rarely a part of the foundation with conventional foundation systems and in most cases don’t present structural issues with cracks.
