Reasons why you would have cracks appearing on your resin driveway:
Issues with the sub base
Existing cracks within the sub base
Drainage issues
Movement within the sub base
Movement from roots
Joins within the sub base
When cracks appear in resin bound driveways, it's usually due to issues with the sub base. Resin bound surfaces can withstand some movement, but they still need a solid crack free sub base.
Any cracks in the sub-base can lead to stress points in the resin bound surface, facilitating the formation of new cracks that align with the sub-base cracks.
A similar issue can occur at the joints when a new base meets an existing one without using a crack reduction membrane. This is a common challenge when a homeowner is extending the size of their driveway. It is referred to as "joint reflective cracking."
If you notice a crack appearing in your resin bound driveway, patio, or path, you should take action straight away. Cracks not only pose a potential trip hazard, but leaving them unattended can result in a more difficult and costly repair.
Fortunately, our expert repair team at Kamox has the ability and experience to repair cracks within your resin bound driveway.
