About Crack Repairs
Introduction
Acquiring and maintaining commercial properties is a significant investment. As such, it’s essential to ensure they remain in top-notch condition. Unfortunately, minor infrastructural issues like cracks in concrete are commonly overlooked, leading to extensive damage over time. That’s where our main focus – Crack Repairs- comes into play. Not only is crack repair cost-effective, but it also extends the lifespan of your property while maintaining its aesthetic appeal. Let us delve into the process, importance, and benefits of crack repair, paying keen attention to cracked concrete and the use of sealant for cracks.
The Importance of Crack Repair in Commercial Properties
Crack repair is an essential part of commercial property maintenance. It prevents structural damage, ensures the safety of the building inhabitants, and enhances the appearance of the property. More importantly, early twist crack repairs can save you significant amounts down the line that would otherwise be spent on comprehensive renovations.
Nature and Causes of Cracks
Before embarking on any repair process, understanding the nature and cause of the crack is crucial. This aids in selecting the most effective repair method and preventing future occurrences. Cracks can be categorized into two: active cracks, which expand with time, and passive cracks, which remain constant. Several factors cause these cracks, including thermal fluctuations, shifts in the ground, overload, and aging.
Crafting the Right Crack Repair Strategy
Each crack is unique, and so should be the repair strategy. One size does not fit all in crack repairs. Hence, an assessment of the crack’s width, depth, and location is required before commencement of the repair. Other factors such as the concrete type of the structure and the cause of the crack should be considered to devise the most effective repair strategy.
Crack Repair Process
The main process follows a simple procedure: Evaluate and prepare the cracked concrete, apply a sealant for the cracks, and finally, conduct regular maintenance. Preparation involves cleaning up the crack and the surrounding area to ensure strong adhesion of the sealant and maximize the repair results.
Sealant for Cracks: Panacea for Concrete Cracks
Sealants are specially designed to fill and seal cracks in order to prevent further damage. Depending on the severity of the crack, different types of sealants may be used, such as epoxy sealants for more extensive cracks and urethane sealants for medium-sized cracks. Regardless of the sealant chosen, the goal is the same – to restore stability, form, and functionality of the concrete structure.
Professional Crack Repair Services
While it might be tempting to carry out crack repairs yourself, hiring professional services is advisable. Professionals possess the needed expertise and knowledge to correctly assess the damage, tailor the right repair strategy, and efficiently carry out the repair using high-quality materials. This way, you save time, money, and gain peace of mind.
Crack Repair: A Smart Investment
Neglecting cracks only leads to further damage and costly future repairs. Early detection and repair of cracks ensure structural integrity, safety, enhanced appearance, and eventually higher property value. Investing in professional crack repair services generates high return on investment, making it a smart move for every commercial property owner.

About Saint Clair Shores, Michigan
History

Located along the shores of Lake St. Clair and inhabited by French settlers as early as 1710, during which time the area was referred to as L’anse Creuse, the future St. Clair Shores would remain mainly a rural farming area populated by largely French and German immigrant families into the early 20th century. These local family surnames have survived into the 21st century and can be found in the surnames of current residents and among numerous residential street names.
From 1835 until 1843, the area was part of Orange Township, among the first townships platted in Michigan and part of Macomb County. In 1843, Orange Township was renamed Erin Township, in homage to the numerous Irish immigrants who had moved into the area and had begun to exert their political influence. From 1843 until 1911, what is now St. Clair Shores was a part of Erin Township, parts of which make up today’s municipalities of Eastpointe, Roseville, and St. Clair Shores.
In 1911, the eastern portion of Erin Township was partitioned off to become Lake Township. St. Clair Shores was incorporated as a village in 1925 and remained a part of Lake Township until, after numerous failed attempts, its residents voted to incorporate as the city of St. Clair Shores in January 1951. Lake Township continued adjacent to the city until 2009, when residents of the village of Grosse Pointe Shores (that portion of Grosse Pointe Shores in Macomb County located within Lake Township) voted to incorporate as a city.
Beginning around the time of the First World War, St. Clair Shores became a favored playground for gamblers, rum runners, and lakefront tourists alike, culminating during Prohibition, but continuing through the Second World War era. During these years, the village was the home to many popular roadhouses, blind pigs, and gambling establishments, such as the Blossom Heath Inn. St. Clair Shores’ lakefront location and proximity to Canada coupled with a receptive and often participative community made it an advantageous haven for rum runners, and the area was actively involved in the rum-running era of Prohibition. Local residents, politicians, and law enforcement of the era were known to sometimes conflict with both state and federal officials over their attempts to regulate these illegal, but economically vital, activities within the community.
The Eagle Pointe subdivision, one of many platted within the village of St. Clair Shores during the early 20th century, was platted along a part of the lake shore in 1916. During the next few decades, dozens of subdivisions were platted through the local farmland, but most were not developed in earnest until after the Second World War, when St. Clair Shores became the fastest-growing suburb of Detroit during the 1950s.
From 1927 until 1959, the community was the location of the Jefferson Beach Amusement Park, a major lakefront attraction for the Detroit area and beyond. Opened in 1927, it boasted the longest roller coaster in the United States and numerous other midway attractions, a large, ornate lakefront dance pavilion, and a large, sandy beach popular with swimmers and sun bathers. In 1955, a fire destroyed some of the attractions and buildings within the once-popular park, and this, coupled with changing public tastes, accelerated its demise. While the owners of Jefferson Beach Amusement Park considered rebuilding, by this time the park was not popular with local government officials, and the city council had begun exploring forcing the closure of the facility or purchasing it for public use. Instead, the park owners, who had previously started building an onsite marina facility, began to expand that part of the facility. By 1959, the remaining park amusements and buildings were demolished to make room for the greatly enlarged Jefferson Beach Marina. All that remained of the once grand amusement park was its large, ornate lakefront dance coliseum, which for years thereafter was relegated to use as a marina storage facility and marine supply store until it, too, was destroyed by fire.
