CONCRETE SHOULD NEVER BE ON CLAY/DIRT

CONCRETE NEEDS A PROPER SUB BASE TO SURVIVE THE STRESS PLACED UPON IT.  CONCRETE ALSO ACTS LIKE A SPONGE, IT WILL DRAW WATER AND MINERALS TO THE  SURFACE IF PRESENT.

PLASTIC SOIL UNDER FOOTINGS

POOR SUB BASE AFFECTS FOUNDATIONS AS WELL AS FLATWORK.

CURE TIME IS VERY IMPORTANT

CONCRETE REQUIRES TIME TO ACHIEVE STRENGTH CALLED CURING. MANY TIMES CUSTOMERS ARE MISLEAD ABOUT WHEN THEY CAN DRIVE ON OR BACKFILL NEW CONCRETE WALLS. 28 DAYS IS A FULL CURE. COULD AND SHOULD ARE TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT WORLDS. ALWAYS ERROR ON MORE TIME FOR CURING TO GET THE STRENGTH NEEDED FOR A QUALITY JOB THAT WILL LAST FOR 30 PLUS YEARS..

HOME BUILDERS

MOST BUILDERS WANT TO COMPLETE AND SELL A HOME AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. VERY FEW QUALITY CONTROL MEASURES ARE ENFORCED INCLUDING COMPACTING BACKFILL AROUND YOUR HOME.. THE WARRANTY PERIOD IS SHORT AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR YOU COULD BE LEFT WITH LARGE REPAIRS. ALWAYS CONTACT A PROFESSIONAL CRAFTSMAN WITH YOUR CONCERNS.

EPOXY BAND-AID

WE HEAR ALL THE TIME JUST EPOXY IT. THAT WILL STOP THE LEAK. UNFORTUNATELY, THAT JUST HIDES THE REAL PROBLEM. THE WATER IS THE REASON YOU HAVE A PROBLEM..HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE FROM WATER WILL CAUSE CRACKS .IF YOU DON'T GET RID OF THE WATER,  YOUR PROBLEM  JUST LOOKS FOR ANOTHER WAY TO CAUSE DAMAGE. COMMON SENSE AND LOGIC GO A LONG WAY IN THIS FIELD. 

BEFORE YOU LET A COMPANY SELL YOU THAT EPOXY BAND AID ASK TO SEE THE HUNDREDS OF PICS WE HAVE OF THEM FAILING. WHY THROW YOUR MONEY AWAY? GET THE COMPLETE TRUTH BY CALLING US.

EPOXY IS NOT A CURE ALL REMEDY.

OVERLAYS ARE DECEPTIVE

ANY PRODUCT APPLIED OVER A CONCRETE SLAB THAT IS STILL MOVING DUE TO POOR SUBBASE WILL CRACK IN THE SAME PLACE THROUGH THE OVERLAY. THE CRACK ALMOST ALWAYS STARTS DUE TO SUB STANDARD CONSTRUCTION PRACTICES AND NO MATTER WHAT THE COMPANY SELLING THE MAGIC CURE PROMISES YOU...EXPECT TO HAVE THAT CRACK REAPPEAR IN THE NEAR FUTURE. WE HAVE HUNDREDS OF PICTURES OF IT.
