What Causes Granite Cracks in Irvine Homes?
Cracks running parallel to the sink are typically caused by reinforcing rods placed during countertop fabrication. When the caulk breaks down around the sink water can get under the granite and these rods can rust and expand over time, pushing the granite apart and causing straight-line cracks. Our GCR process removes the offending areas of these rods and replaces them with advanced structural urethanes, ensuring a long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing repair.
Our Granite Crack Repair Process
We follow a meticulous process to ensure your countertops are restored to their full potential:
- Step 1: Rod Removal – Carefully extract the areas of the rusting rods causing the crack to prevent further stress and damage.
- Step 2: Structural Adhesives – Replace the rod with advanced structural urethanes designed specifically for granite repairs.
- Step 3: Polishing and Sealing – Restore the surface to a smooth, polished finish that blends seamlessly with the surrounding stone.
Quick Fact: Granite Crack Repairs typically take one full day to complete. Some more extensive repairs may require additional time, but our results are always worth the wait!
