[5] [6] [7] In the presence of water (during a rainstorm, for instance) unreacted cement particles recently exposed due to cracking hydrate and form a number of products (calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H), calcite, etc.) that expand and fill in the crack. These products appear as a white ‘scar’ material filling in the crack.
