Reading the damage before fixing it
The Census Bureau's 2020–2024 survey estimates date about 34% of China Spring's housing units, 122 of 354, to before 1980; the sample is small, so take it as a rough share.
Concrete moves: it shrinks and swells with moisture and temperature and bends under load, and the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association says it cracks where design and construction didn't allow for that. The association's list of common crack types runs from plastic shrinkage and crazing to settlement, with improper jointing, continuous external restraint, missing isolation joints and freeze-thaw D-cracks in between.
How deep the damage runs decides the repair. The Federal Highway Administration says partial-depth repairs should be limited to the top one-third of the pavement. A sound slab with a worn top may suit resurfacing in China Spring, while a drive broken in many places may be ready for a replacement driveway; other China Spring jobs are listed on one page.

Questions about cracks
Are shallow cracks that show up while concrete is fresh a problem?
Usually not for strength. These are plastic shrinkage cracks: shallow, often parallel, spaced about 1 to 3 feet apart. They look bad, but the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association says they rarely weaken floors and pavements.
Why did my new slab crack within a few years?
Concrete that cracks within a few years of the pour may have been installed wrong; one published guide gives too much water in the mix and too few control joints as examples.
How far apart should joints be cut so a slab cracks where it should?
The National Ready Mixed Concrete Association spaces contraction joints 24 to 36 times the slab's thickness, with 15 feet often given as the most, and cuts them about a quarter to a third of the way through. Panels should come out roughly square, never much more than 1.5 times as long as they are wide.
