Q: Will wet concrete bond to dry concrete?

• <div><p>No, wet concrete will not bond to dry concrete without an additional bonding agent. The common alternative is adding a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-anybody-use-sand-base-they-pour-concrete-driveway.htm">sand or gravel layer under a concrete slab</a> to enhance bonding and create a stable foundation. The right choice depends on the height and thickness of your two slabs, local laws, and the use of the specific concrete slab. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take concrete floors to fully settle?

• <div><p>Concrete can take years to fully settle, but interior concrete floors are mostly settled after a year. Shifting and settling can occur throughout your home&rsquo;s life, but most major settling happens the first few years after the concrete is poured. It&rsquo;s not uncommon for minor cracks to appear in concrete floors over time&mdash;check with a concrete pro to ensure new cracks don&rsquo;t indicate a structural issue in your home. </p></div>

Q: Can you pour concrete when it freezes at night?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s possible to pour concrete if the temperatures are expected to dip below freezing at night, but you need to take some special precautions before you do. Most importantly, you need to make sure your concrete won&rsquo;t freeze, so the best thing to do is enclose the area and heat it. You should also make sure you&rsquo;re using cold-weather concrete that&rsquo;s designed for pouring in cold weather. Use accelerants to help speed up the curing process and avoid cold temperatures from resulting in weak concrete. </p></div>

Q: How thick should a concrete basement floor be?

• <div><p>The average thickness of a concrete basement floor should be 4 to 6 inches. The thickness of a concrete basement floor depends on your area&rsquo;s building codes, the type of concrete you&rsquo;re using, the load capacity, and the base flooring materials. Most residential basements require a minimum of 4 inches for standard foot traffic and light storage. </p></div>

Q: Can I do concrete work myself?

• <div><p>For handy homeowners, concrete projects are DIYable, and DIYing is a good way to save on the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/concrete-slab-cost.htm">cost of a concrete slab</a>, walkway, or other concrete work. If you&rsquo;re completing a larger project or one that&rsquo;s subject to building codes, you should always hire a professional to ensure the job is done safely and correctly. </p></div>

Greg and his guys are fabulous! We have an old house, and wanted to keep the character of the house the same, but have the ease of vinyl siding. I think our house was a challenge because it is pretty big, old and not level, and Better Way did a fantastic job. We are so happy with the results....
