Classify cracks correctly: start small, avoid large ones

Cracks in Mainz-Drais are rarely just visual. The decisive factor is whether they run in connection zones, edge areas or over expansion joints - this is where consequential damage occurs first.

Early documentation with photos and scale helps to assess development and plan targeted measures instead of completely rebuilding.

Key points for cracks and spalling in Mainz-Drais

  • Document the type of crack and its course (width, depth, location)
  • Check the condition of the substrate and adhesion of neighboring surfaces
  • Check critical detail zones on edges and connections
  • Choose a system-appropriate renovation strategy instead of selective cosmetics

  • Use unsuitable materials with low durability
  • Do not include connection details in the renovation
  • Indicators of moisture are not properly cleared up before renovation
