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’s building codes, the type of concrete you’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 you put hot pots on concrete countertops?

• <div><p>Yes, you can put hot pots on concrete countertops, but only if they&rsquo;ve been properly sealed. While the concrete itself is heat-resistant, the sealant may not be, meaning heat may discolor the sealant, so use caution.</p></div>

Q: Do I have to pour concrete to secure a channel drain?

• <div><p>If your channel drain is being installed in a driveway, then you will need to pour concrete to secure the drain and prevent it from breaking under the weight of your car. For channel drains that you plan on installing on a walkway or underneath a roof or awning, then you can get away with using a compacted fill.</p></div>

Q: Can you pour concrete if it rained the day before?

• <div><p>Yes, you can pour concrete if it rained the day before, but you&rsquo;ll need to drain the construction site to ensure there isn&rsquo;t standing water where your slab will sit. You might need to manually remove any puddles and set up drainage on your site to dry it before pouring. Moist soil won&rsquo;t be an issue, but standing water will throw off your concrete mix ratios. Additionally, ensure there isn&rsquo;t more rain expected in the near future before you pour.</p></div>

Q: Will concrete set in rain?

• <div><p>Yes, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pouring-concrete-in-the-rain.htm">concrete can set in rain</a>, but it&rsquo;s best if you pour concrete 4 to 8 hours before any rain to ensure it won&rsquo;t impact its strength and appearance. Exposure to heavy rain during the early stages (the first 48 hours after pouring) can significantly reduce the structural integrity of the concrete. Over time, cracking is more likely due to softer concrete. </p></div>

The pool came out great. I have to admit that I did not enjoy dealing with a couple of their contractors. The people that work for them that dug the pool were great. The people that did the concrete were difficult to work with. They did the drainage wrong and I had to have the landscaper fix it.
