What it is
A long concrete driveway with no control joints cut into it.
Why it matters
Without joints, shrinkage cracks run wherever they want across the driveway.
How we check it
We check driveways and paths for control joints and cracking.
The fix
Cut control joints early, before random cracking sets in.
How common it is
Driveway saw cuts were missing in 14% of homes at handover.
