Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Nov 22, 2015 6:23 pm Hi guys I noticed these cracks have appeared in the slab. My site supervisor was very confident and said these are regular hairline cracks that appear in each slab. He asked me to take pics and show to my private building inspector. Do you know if these cracks are acceptable? I am contacting my building inspector to come in and check before the flooring is done next week.
