My concrete driveway was poured yesterday and within a couple of hours I noticed some hairline cracks throughout the driveway.
After one day it looks to be much more noticeable.
The concrete company inspected it this morning and are doing an investigation, but said the mix was correct measurements etc and that it's shrinkage cracks and not structural.
The concreter also said it was shrinkage cracks and that everything was done correctly, and that the only way to deal with it is to put a sealer over the driveway. He does seem like an honest guy and I'm taking his word for it, but thought I should check to confirm.
Has anyone else had the same issue immediately after pouring?
I asked the concrete company if it should be replaced and they said no, since it's minor cracking and not affecting the structure.
This is brand new and I paid a lot of money to get this done, so I want it done properly.
Is the sealer a suitable solution, or just a workaround to cover an error?
