Are concrete septic tanks the most expensive?

• <div><p>Yes. Amongst the four most common types of septic tanks—plastic, fiberglass, concrete, and steel—those made of concrete are the most expensive. This is the case for a few reasons, including the fact that they’re very heavy, so pros have to use specialized equipment to install them. However, they’re also incredibly durable, making the price worth it if it’s in your budget.</p></div>

What is the difference between slab and slab-on-grade?

• <div><p>There’s no difference between a “slab foundation” and a “slab-on-grade foundation,” and contractors and homeowners use the terms synonymously. “Slab foundation” is just a shortened version of “slab-on-grade.” In both cases, the homebuilder will pour the concrete foundation into a mold they build directly on the ground. As such, these foundations require no expensive excavation.</p></div>

Q: Are concrete septic tanks the most expensive?

Q: What is the difference between slab and slab-on-grade?

• <div><p>There&rsquo;s no difference between a &ldquo;slab foundation&rdquo; and a &ldquo;slab-on-grade foundation,&rdquo; and contractors and homeowners use the terms synonymously. &ldquo;Slab foundation&rdquo; is just a shortened version of &ldquo;slab-on-grade.&rdquo; In both cases, the homebuilder will pour the concrete foundation into a mold they build directly on the ground. As such, these foundations require no expensive excavation.</p></div>

Q: Can you pour concrete over old concrete?

• <div><p>Yes, you can pour new concrete over old concrete, but you need to apply a concrete bonding agent to the existing concrete to ensure the new concrete sticks. Keep in mind that even with a bonding agent, large cracks and other flaws will still come through. If the concrete has heaved, settled, or cracked, pouring new concrete on top won&rsquo;t address any root structural problems. Removing the existing concrete and rebuilding will be your best solution in that case.</p></div>

Q: Is fiber concrete good for a driveway?

• <div><p>Fiber concrete can be a good option for a residential driveway that will hold up standard passenger cars. The fibers provide increased flexion over a rebar-reinforced concrete driveway, so you&rsquo;re less likely to see surface cracks. For driveways that need to hold commercial vehicles or multiple vehicles, rebar reinforcement is a better option. Ask a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/concrete-driveways/">concrete driveway company near you</a> which is the best option for your situation.</p></div>
