Classify cracks correctly: start small, avoid large ones

Cracks in Urmitz 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 Urmitz

  • 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

What clients should pay attention to

It is worthwhile for clients in Urmitz to structure requirements early on - this makes offers, priorities and processes clearer.

  • Is the damage local or systematically distributed?
  • Is there moisture pollution in the affected areas?
  • What loads affect the area (weather, use)?
  • Is partial repair sufficient or does rebuilding make sense?

Avoid common mistakes

In practice, recurring errors can often be avoided if critical transitions and maintenance points are taken into account right from the start.

  • Only superficially revise, without root cause analysis
  • Use unsuitable materials with low durability
  • Do not include connection details in the renovation
  • Indicators of moisture are not properly cleared up before renovation

Practice checklist for Urmitz

This short list helps to classify cracks and chips more quickly and clearly before making an inquiry:

  • 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
  • For projects in Urmitz, Weißenthurm and Kaltenengers, check transitions and edge zones separately early on.
Direct step: If several points apply, an early on-site inspection is worthwhile for reliable prioritization.

Frequently asked questions

Are all cracks critical?

Not every crack is immediately critical, but every crack should be classified technically.

Can cracks be closed locally?

In the case of local damage, sometimes yes, but in the case of systemic causes it is usually not permanent.

Why do cracks often come back?

If the cause is not addressed, damage will recur despite cosmetic repair.
