Q: What is the safest ice melt for concrete and pets?

• <div><p>Magnesium chloride is often said to be the safest salt-based option for pet owners. Potassium chloride and calcium chloride are other common choices. For homeowners with dogs, urea is generally safe for their paws and won&rsquo;t be harmful if ingested. You might also consider opting for an ice melt brand designed with pet safety in mind. </p></div>

Q: What are the main ingredients to make concrete?

• <div><p>The main ingredients to make concrete are cement, water, air, and aggregate for proper formation. Mixing concrete occurs just before use to ensure proper curing after it is combined with water. Cement, however, is the key ingredient to concrete, and includes a collection of natural binding elements and sand, clay, and limestone. </p></div>

Q: How long does precast concrete last?

• <div><p>Precast concrete can last from 50 to 100 years or more. Precast concrete may have a longer lifespan than cast-in-place concrete due to the controlled curing conditions and lack of environmental exposure during the curing process. Properly maintaining and regularly inspecting your precast concrete can help extend its life and keep it in good condition for decades. </p></div>

Q: Is foam better than concrete for fence posts?

• <div><p>There isn't a winner when comparing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/expanding-foam-vs-concrete-posts.htm">expanding foam versus concrete for fence posts</a>. Both have benefits and drawbacks, depending on your budget and priorities. Expanding foam may be a better choice if you want a more eco-friendly solution that cures faster. Concrete is more affordable and durable than expanding foam, yet it is harder to work with and takes longer to cure. </p></div>

Q: Does pervious concrete crack?

• <div><p>Like all concrete, pervious concrete is susceptible to cracking due to expansion and contraction from freezing and thawing or heavy weight. Pervious concrete, however, is less likely to crack due to moisture intrusion than traditional concrete since pervious concrete is designed to drain and hold water in the material&rsquo;s voids.</p></div>

It went superbly. The concrete looked like new and all the algae and moss were removed from the house. I was so delighted, I immediately told my next door neighbor who contracted, on the spot, for power washing of two sides of her house. I later told many neighbors and friends, as well.

The estimate from Concrete Jack came in about 80% below any other contractor that had given me an estimate. That's right, a 1/5th of the price!! The estimator, Kirk, was very knowledgeable and professional. He performed very quick and accurate diagnostic work and had a quote to me the next day!...
