About Concrete Crack Filling
Introduction
Maintaining your commercial property ensures it retains its value and remains safe for all users. One essential form of maintenance involves concrete crack filling. This guide will take a deep dive into commercial concrete crack repair, discussing the process, its benefits, and everything else you need to know about such vital concrete maintenance services.
Understanding Concrete Crack Filling
Concrete is one of the most durable and versatile construction materials. However, due to weather, wear and tear, and the passage of time, cracks can emerge, affecting both the visual appeal and structural integrity of your commercial property. Concrete crack filling is a preventative commercial concrete crack repair method aimed at resolving these issues before they escalate. It involves filling the crevices in concrete surfaces, like floors and sidewalks, with specific compounds to avert further deterioration, potential accidents, and costly reparations in the future.
The Process of Commercial Concrete Crack Repair
Regardless of the property location, the process of concrete crack filling is fairly standard. It starts with a thorough inspection of the concrete surface to identify any signs of weakness or damage. The assessment helps in determining the severity of the problem and choosing the most effective repair technique. After this, the cracks are cleaned to remove any debris which might affect the filling compound’s adhesion. The repair team then applies the filler to the cracks, leveling it to match the surface profile of the existing concrete. Once the filler hardens, a final inspection takes place to guarantee the highest quality of repair.
Latest Techniques in Concrete Crack Repair
As time goes by, commercial concrete crack repair companies continue to hone their craft, introducing new and improved techniques and equipment. For instance, some now use infrared thermographic cameras during inspections to spot hidden cracks and issues. You might also come across companies using epoxy injections or polyurethane foams for filling, as these materials offer higher flexibility and power to withstand pressure compared with traditional cement-based products.
The Benefits of Concrete Crack Filling
Concrete crack filling comes with several impressive benefits for your commercial property. By repairing cracks early on, you can maintain your property’s aesthetic appeal. Remember, first impressions count, so a well-preserved property can instantly boost your business’s appeal. It’s not just about visual appeal since cracks can also become potential hazards, posing risks of trips and falls to staff members or visitors to your property. Concrete maintenance services can thus help you avoid these legal liabilities. Most importantly, prompt and quality repair extends the longevity of your concrete surfaces, saving you from costly replacements in the long run.
Sidewalk Crack Filling
Sidewalks are one of the most used areas in any commercial property. The constant foot traffic combined with outdoor elements can lead to surface damage over time, making sidewalk crack filling as crucial as other forms of concrete maintenance. Besides improving the sidewalk’s longevity and appearance, crack filling can also keep your commercial establishment safer for everyone, reducing the risk of accidents.
Local Optimization of Concrete Maintenance Services
Whether it’s for your storefront, office building, or any other commercial space, choosing a local service provider for your concrete maintenance needs can have numerous advantages. A local company has an inherent understanding of the local weather conditions and common causes of concrete damage in your specific area. They are also more readily available for emergency repairs and follow-ups.
Conclusion
In conclusion, concrete crack filling is an indispensable part of commercial property maintenance. It’s a proactive approach to avert major issues down the line, preserving the appearance of your property and ensuring safety for all users. Whether for your commercial building or for sidewalk crack filling around your property, professional concrete maintenance services provide peace of mind, knowing your investment is protected against premature wear and tear.
Whether it’s prevention or addressing an existing issue, don’t wait until it’s too late. Contact your local concrete maintenance services provider to schedule an inspection and start your journey towards a safer, more appealing, and long-lasting concrete surface today.

About Sterling Heights, Michigan
History
As a result of the War of 1812 and the 1817 Treaty of Fort Meigs, the area of the Michigan Territory which now makes up Sterling Heights was first surveyed by Deputy Surveyor Joseph Wampler; his survey was approved on February 20, 1818. Wampler had been one of two deputy surveyors of Perrysburg, Ohio, in 1816.
Originally created as part of Shelby Township in April 1827, it was broken off as Jefferson Township in March 1835. In March 1838, it was renamed Sterling Township.
Until the 1950s, Sterling Township was an agricultural area, largely devoted to growing rhubarb and other crops sold in Detroit. Road improvements led to decreased commute times and lower costs for the delivery of goods and services to and from businesses. The population increased when suburban homes were built for the workers in metropolitan Detroit’s booming automobile industry. When Sterling Township was incorporated as a city in 1968, “Heights” was added to the name to satisfy a state law that prevents incorporated municipalities from having the same name, as there was already a small village named Sterling in Arenac County.
Gerald Donovan became the first mayor of the city and F. James Dunlop became the first mayor pro-tempore. In the 1960s and 1970s, many residents came to live in Sterling Heights to work in automobile plants operated by Chrysler and Ford. Lakeside Mall opened in Sterling Heights in 1976.
The city is home to many groups of immigrants. It has received many people of eastern European origins, including ethnic Albanians, Bosnians, Croatians, Macedonians, Montenegrins, Poles, Serbians and Slovenians. After the 2003 U.S.-Iraqi War, millions of Iraqi citizens were displaced, particularly Iraqi Christians (Chaldean Catholics and Assyrians). Of these, 30,000-50,000 resettled in Sterling Heights, giving parts of the city the nickname “Little Nineveh”, especially around 15 Mile Road and Ryan.
Geography
Sterling Heights is a second-ring suburb, 14 to 20 miles (23 to 32 km) north of downtown Detroit. The city’s southern border is 6 miles (10 km) from Detroit’s northern border. The shape of the city is six miles long and miles wide. It is bordered to the south by the city of Warren, at its southwest corner by Madison Heights, to the west by Troy, to the north by Utica and Shelby Township, at its northeast corner by Macomb Township, to the east by Clinton Township, and to the southeast by Fraser.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Sterling Heights has a total area of 36.72 square miles (95.10 km), of which 36.45 square miles (94.41 km2) are land and 0.27 square miles (0.70 km), or 0.74%, are water. The Clinton River crosses the northeast part of the city, flowing east to Lake St. Clair east of Mount Clemens.
Climate
Sterling Heights features a humid continental climate (Köppen: Dfa). Summers are somewhat hot with temperatures exceeding 90 °F (32 °C) on average 8.6 days. Winters are cold, with temperatures not rising above freezing on 39.1 days annually, while dropping to or below 0 °F (−18 °C) on average 1.2 days a year.
Neighboring cities/towns
Main highways
Sterling Heights sits on two main thoroughfares:
State highways
M-53 commonly called Van Dyke Avenue or the Van Dyke Freeway (they split in the city, however, and rejoin to its north), which leads north into The Thumb of Michigan.
M-59, commonly called Hall Road once the freeway ends—which is the east–west connector from just north of Mount Clemens, through Utica as a surface road, and then becomes a limited access freeway to Pontiac, being the main northern connector between Macomb County and Oakland County. In Sterling Heights, large areas are devoted to retail and commercial development (e.g., Lakeside Mall).
Other main roads
- Mound Road is an important north–south artery that runs continuously through the city. Overall, the road starts south in Hamtramck and runs up to 32 Mile Road in Romeo. The road ends briefly at River Bends Park in Shelby Township (becoming Auburn Road), and continues just north of 22 Mile Road.
- East-west travel is mainly on the “mile roads,” beginning at 14 Mile Road through 20 Mile Road (M-59). 16 Mile Road, also known as Metro Parkway, is another major “mile road”. See Roads and freeways in metropolitan Detroit.
- Utica Road is an important diagonal connector that crisscrosses the city from southeast to northwest, going through the intersection of Dodge Park Road (across from the Sterling Heights city hall) via the first roundabout in Macomb County.
- Dequindre Road is the border between the city of Sterling Heights and the city of Troy. It is also the border between the counties of Macomb and Oakland.
- Hayes Road is the divider between Clinton Township (Between Utica Road and South of M59) and Fraser (Between Masonic and Moravian).
