No it was probably caused from below support issues, settling, ect.  The only other issue I've seen that wasn't a support issue is when a steel rod is used and it starts to rust.  Which is a mess but still repairable.  Fill, flatten, color, refill if needed and blend.  Worse case depending  on stone will look like a small fissure (naturally occurring)

The reason it cracked in the first place is for several reasons. If a polyester resin was used instead of expoxy it can crack. Also if the rodding blade is too deep it can cause a crack.

Rodding sink rails with granite countertops is repairable almost all the time.  That is why they are rodded so that if it does break it holds together and can be easily repaired.

I would consider this unrepairable.  This is a common problem when the stone is not rodded properly.

I might be wrong, but if it was roded  by fabricator, that might be causing the problem !

Subject: [sccpartners] granite counter top big crack near sink of course.

or would there be a way to reinforce the area
without weakening or breaking it off.??
