			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Foundation repairs : Concrete includes primarily of cement, sand, gravel and water.

Concrete cracks can be caused by numerous causes, such as settlement, expansion, hydraulic pressure, or geologic movement, in addition to plain old poor installation. Cracks in concrete may leaps out on walls or on floors and driveways. They are dealt differently depending on their location and size.

<p>Get rid of the loose particles. For instance, if the crack occurred in the mortar of the wall there could be a possibility for any loose and crumbling mortar they should be removed.
