Is thicker concrete less likely to crack?

• <div><p>Yes, thicker concrete is less likely to crack. The thicker the concrete is, the less susceptible it is to extreme changes in weather conditions that often cause concrete to crack or chip. If you’re unable to install a thicker concrete driveway for any reason, you can also ask your professional to install more rebar or wire mesh to provide greater strength and better resilience to damage. </p></div>

Q: What happens if you get caught doing foundation repair without a permit?

• <div><p>If your building department catches you or a contractor doing foundation work without proper permits, they will likely put the work on hold until you secure the necessary permits, which can cause delays of days or even weeks. You can also face violation charges for construction without a permit, which can cost hundreds, depending on where you live.</p></div>

Q: Does cracked brick mean foundation problems?

• <div><p>Sometimes cracked brick can mean a foundation problem, such as when the crack appears indoors and is vertical, or long horizontal cracks either inside or outside. If the crack widens at the top, then it&rsquo;s safe to assume there is structural damage. Other things to look for are uneven floors, diagonal cracks indoors, and doors and windows that stick. </p></div>

Q: How do you seal a leaky concrete slab?

• <div><p>You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-seal-concrete.htm">seal a concrete slab</a> by cleaning the surface, filling in any cracks, etching the surface, applying a sealer, and letting it dry. Concrete slabs don't typically need sealing, but you can use a topical concrete sealer if you notice signs of water damage. If you haven't already fixed the cause of the leak, then you'll want to repair the plumbing before you seal a concrete slab.</p></div>

Q: Do services include foundation recommendations?

• <div><p>Yes, engineers assess soil load-bearing capacity and provide construction guidelines.</p></div>

Shawn cleaned my house gutters and repaired seams that needed attention. There were trim boards adjacent to the gutters that were showing signs of wear and they were caulked. They will be ready for paint in the spring. Shawn is pleasant. Knowledgeable, and showed up when he said he would.

Horrible, absolutely horrible. DO NOT use this company. Company charges $289 to come out and look at your hot tub with the claim that the $289 will be applied to the total repair cost. Once they finally came to my house in mid July to look at the tub, the tech identified the issue right where...

He started with a price of $380 which was a bit high and then he said he found another problem after he started. Now it is $500 dollar repair on an $800 six yr old fridge. I could have spent another $400 and had a new one. Will not use him again.

He did not fix the car"s problem, and then told me to arrange towing and service somewhere else because he had "done all he could". The Dealership it was towed to then had to repair the damage caused by his mistake.

I am very impressed with the work. He was also able to complete the work in two weeks and also kept to the estimate. The team that came out to do the repair was very professional, curteous, and worked clean. I would recommend Anthony Simaitis to others.
