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>

Can a slab foundation sink?

• <div><p>Yes, slab foundations can sink just like any other foundation type. Floating slabs are the most prone to differential settlement and foundation sinking because they sit directly on the surface of the earth. Slab foundations that have footings—including <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/slab-on-grade-foundation.htm">slab-on-grade foundations</a> and monolithic slab foundations—get additional support from soil further down and are less likely to sink over time, especially under larger, heavier structures.</p></div>

Does insurance cover a sinking foundation?

• <div><p>Homeowners insurance doesn’t usually cover a sinking foundation. While <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-homeowners-insurance-cover-foundation-repair.htm">insurance will cover some kinds of foundation damage</a>, coverage is usually limited to damage from natural disasters, fire, or impact. Foundation sinking is rarely covered by insurance, so it’s a good idea to make repairs early on to avoid costly problems in the future.</p></div>

Why is my concrete cracking?

• <div><p>Concrete can crack from general wear, improper installation, or in response to uneven support from the soil underneath. Small, thin cracks on the surface of aging concrete are usually a result of normal wear and tear, while <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-freshly-poured-concrete-normally-crack.htm">cracks on new concrete</a> more likely indicate a problem with installation. Larger cracks or uneven steps can signify a much more severe issue. A concrete contractor should be able to diagnose the cause and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-repair-concrete-cracks.htm">repair concrete cracks</a> for you.</p></div>

Q: Will my homeowner’s insurance policy cover my slab leak cost?

• <div><p>Most homeowner&rsquo;s insurance policies will cover the cost of slab leak repair that results from a natural disaster, like an earthquake or a severe flood, or from a tree falling on your home. Damage from frozen pipes in your slab is also typically covered. However, your policy is unlikely to cover the repair if an invading tree root causes the damage or if it&rsquo;s a pinhole leak that results from corrosion. You should contact your insurance provider for a full run-down of what they cover.</p></div>

They were great with working with me to ensure we were able to get the project finished. Very friendly & helpful. Worked me with planning as well, we had enough concrete to finish up our sidewalk too! Would recommend them to anyone.

DO NOT USE THIS PLACE. DO NOT CALL THEM TO COME AND REPAIR/DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM WITH AN APPLIANCE! Clearly that is the only way they are making money. Here's why: We called to get our dryer repaired, and wondered since the tech was going to be there could he also price the repair of our washing...
