Initial Business Response /* (1000, 14, 2015/09/17) */

I saw cut the driveway the next morning after to pour. The cuts are cut 1 inch deep on a slab thickness of 4". they are cut in 6'x 6'...

sections. the slab is 4500lb mix with micro fibers and #4 steel rebar with spacing @36" on center. We sealed the concrete immediately upon completion. I stopped and looked at eh driveway after he texted me pics. The crack runs up the middle of the driveway, that is on a hill, the crack is a hairline crack. Hair line cracks do happen in concrete driveways. we guarantee that they will not separate. about 90 percent of the time their will be no cracks in our drives that we pour. The cuts and reinforcement on the driveway are done to above standard in my opinion. we also compacted 6-8" of base under his driveway. their was bad heavy clay soils beneath the base. if these cracks separate within the next 2 years I will replace or refund the homeowner. The state guidelines I believe are for separation over 3/16" in the first year. I will give the homeowner a free coat of sealer to help seal in the up the hair line crack but I apologize that his driveway got a hairline crack but I am not replacing the whole driveway or refunding money unless the crack seperates.
Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (3000, 16, 2015/09/28) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
10-15 Feet "Hair Line" cracks are Not acceptable. Especially when the cracks did not occur on the Expansion Joints, which they were design to do. The hair-line cracks on my driveway were inches from the expansion joints. I can understand a 2-inch, 3-inch or even a 4-inch crack, but not 10-15 Feet cracks. From my understanding, the Expansion Joints should be cut almost immediately after the cement has been poured, not 24-hours after the cement has dried. If my soil was deemed to have too much clay, additional "base" should have been added or compacted better. Some provisions should have been considered. I trust the "experts" to know their trade.
"The cracks on the new driveway were most likely caused by improper installation of the base." Attached, please find estimate that I requested from another contractor to fix the problem with the driveway. Please note his comments.
Who knows if other cracks will appear in the coming months, or year or years to come.
I had a new driveway installed because the original, which was over twenty years old, had significant cracks. Now I am left with cracks on my new driveway.
The sealant does not resolve my issue.
Thank you Revdex.com for trying to mediate this issue.
