SIGNS OF BIG TROUBLE
BRICK DOESN'T SPLIT WITHOUT PRESSURE
IF YOU SEE THIS ON YOUR HOME YOU HAVE FOUNDATION/FOOTING PROBLEMS
CARBONATION IN CONCRETE
ONCE IT STARTS- IT DOESN'T STOP.
FOOTINGS FAIL ON BAD SOIL
THIS FOOTING FAILED AND LEFT THE WALL HANGING. POOR DESIGN ALL AROUND
OVERLAYS ARE A PROBLEM
THIS EPOXY STONE IS AS THICK AS THE ORIGINAL CONCRETE
ONCE THIS STUFF IS APPLIED , YOU ARE STUCK WITH IT..IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE WHAT YOU HAVE YOU MUST REMOVE AND REPLACE .
IT WILL NOT CURE CRACKS.
WE HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF THESE ALL OVER ST LOUIS. ITS STRICTLY A SHORT TERM BAND-AID.
WALLS GET OVERLAYS ALSO
DECEPTION CAN OCCUR IN FLATWORK OR WALLS-OVERLAYS ARE A RED FLAG FOR HIDDEN PROBLEMS.
POOR SUB GRADE AND LACK OF REINFORCEMENT
HORIZONTAL WALL CRACKS
THESE ARE A SIGN OF BIG TROUBLE. WITHOUT WALL STABILIZATION THESE CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE, OFTEN TIMES WITH WALLS COLLAPSING. VERTICAL CRACKS ARE ALSO A SIGN OF WALL OR FOOTING MOVEMENT.
HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE
THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT JUST AFFECT WALLS, FLATWORK CAN HAVE THE SAME ISSUES. IF CONCRETE IS POURED OVER CLAY OR MUD THIS IS A VERY COMMON CONDITION.
