What a concrete workmanship warranty is for

Every concrete contractor knows the saying: concrete cracks. Customers do not, and a hairline crack can feel like a defect to them. A written warranty that explains control joints and normal shrinkage cracks, covers real failures from your base or finishing work, and excludes salt, heavy trucks and roots, sets expectations before the pour, not after the first winter.

What to put in a concrete workmanship warranty

  • What counts as a defect: settlement or heaving from your base work, scaling from finishing.
  • Normal shrinkage cracking and control joints.
  • Exclusions: de-icing salts, heavy vehicles, roots, drainage changes.
  • Color variation and surface marks.
  • Sealing and care the customer should do.
  • How to make a claim.

What a concrete warranty usually leaves out

  • Hairline and shrinkage cracks, especially between control joints.
  • Scaling caused by de-icing salts.
  • Damage from vehicles heavier than the slab was built for.
  • Movement from tree roots or changes in drainage.
  • Color differences between pours.

FAQ

Is cracking in new concrete a defect?

Hairline shrinkage cracks are normal and expected as concrete cures; control joints are there to guide them. Large cracks with settlement or heaving can be a defect if they come from the base work.

What does a concrete warranty cover?

Usually settlement or heaving from poor base preparation and surface scaling from finishing, for a set period. Normal cracking, salt damage and overloading are excluded.

Can I use salt on new concrete?

Many contractors advise against de-icing salts on new concrete, since they can damage the surface. Put your care advice in the warranty.

Should a concrete warranty mention color?

Yes. Color can vary between pours and over time, and it is not a defect. Saying so up front avoids a complaint.
