New Concrete Garage Floor Cracking

49thparallel
10 years ago

Recently cracks have started to occur in my new 3 stall car garage. The slab was poured almost a year ago and I have three hairline cracks: two in front of the garage doors and one off of an inside corner. The cracks are approx. 4-6 ft in front of the doors and around 8 ft long on the corner crack. This seems unusual on a floor less than a year old. There were no control joints placed anywhere in the floor or felt along the perimeter and I'm concerned that this is going to create a problem. Is it too late to cut control joints or would this just create more cracking at this point? I'm still under the one year warranty with the contractor but not sure if there is any remedy. I would appreciate any well informed opinions.
