The Importance of Crack Repairs in Commercial Properties

Recognizing and responding quickly to cracks can save commercial property owners a significant amount of money in the long run. When left untreated, cracked concrete can lead to structural failure, impacting the safety and habitability of the building. Moreover, it can decrease the aesthetic appeal of the property and subsequently its value. There is, therefore, the necessity for timely and effective crack repair to mitigate these effects.

Common Reasons for Cracked Concrete

The reason for the occurrence of cracks can vary, and its identification can help mitigate future potential damage. Most cracks in concrete structures are due to shrinkage during concrete curing, thermal expansion and contraction, or loads applied to the concrete beyond its tolerance capacity. Other factors can include less than ideal soil conditions or incorrect concrete mix during construction.

Crack repair methods can vary depending on the extent and type of the crack. Some common methods include sealing, injecting with epoxy or polyurethane, and using concrete overlays or encaustic tiles. These methods aim at bringing the structure back to its original state, ensuring it’s safe, durable, and functional.

Choosing a Quality Sealant for Cracks

When repairing concrete cracks, using a quality sealant is of the utmost importance. An effective sealant will fill and seal the crack, restoring the structural integrity of the building, and preventing future damage caused by water ingress or freezing and thawing cycles. Selecting a high-quality sealant can provide a durable solution that will stand up to wear and tear, having a low likelihood of cracking in the future.

About Point Lakeview, Michigan

History

Chesterfield Township was originally established as a general law township in 1842. It became a charter township in 1989.

The original European-American settlement in the area was a hamlet called Chesterfield, first settled in 1830. When the Grand Trunk Railway came through in 1865, it stimulated the development of businesses in the hamlet. It had a post office from 1875 until 1907, but has since lost its specific identity.

Geography

Chesterfield Township is in eastern Macomb County and is bordered on the north by Lenox Township and the village of New Haven; on the east by Ira Township in St. Clair County, and by the village of New Baltimore; on the southeast by Anchor Bay, which is a part of Lake St. Clair; on the south by Harrison Township; and on the west by Macomb Township.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the township has a total area of 30.6 square miles (79 km), of which 27.6 square miles (71 km2) are land and 3.0 square miles (7.8 km), or 9.85%, are water.

Much of Chesterfield Township is dominated by suburban subdivisions and shopping developments; its population is increasingly diverse, reflecting area demographic changes. In 2010 some 89% of the population identified as non-Hispanic whites; in the late 20th century, the largely rural township had an even higher percentage of whites. Anchor Bay influences the southeastern part of the community, where many pleasure boats, docks, and marine-related businesses can be found.

Communities

There are nine unincorporated communities in the township and no incorporated villages:
