Do concrete steps need a foundation?

• <div><p>Some local authorities and building codes require that you secure concrete stairs to the foundation wall or to your concrete slab. Check with your local building department for guidance. For older homes without a foundation, you’ll need to install a new footing or base beneath the steps. This could be a simple gravel bed or a more complex concrete footing, which a professional concrete contractor can help you with. </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: Is a concrete patio cheaper than a deck?

• <div><p>No, a deck is more expensive than a concrete patio. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-build-deck.htm">cost to build a deck</a> is between $4,200 and $11,700, or about $7,900 on average. This makes the average deck cost roughly twice as much as the average cost to build a concrete patio. Concrete patios also have far greater longevity and are easier to maintain. </p></div>

Q: Do gazebos need a slab of concrete?

• <div><p>Most gazebos need a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/concrete-slab-cost.htm">concrete slab</a> for a secure, long-lasting, and durable gazebo. Whether or not your gazebo needs a slab of concrete depends on the type of gazebo you&rsquo;re building. Some gazebos have a built-in base or use other base materials, including wooden decks, paver slabs, or concrete footings.</p></div>

Q: Why remove grass before pouring concrete?

• <div><p>Concrete should not be poured directly over grass, as this will impede the necessary tension of the concrete. Grass and soil can draw in moisture, leading to potential cracking. For a solid, lasting foundation, the area must be flat, firm, and completely dry.</p></div>

Terrible customer service and product. Windows were of poor quality when they delivered them late. Installed them incorrectly and then a year later still haven't fixed the issues or even installed all the original windows. We're still waiting and no service, no apologies and no refunds. ...

Groundworks knows how to solve basement, and crawl space problems, the first time. Proudly serving Montana and Wyoming.

"My certified inspector MatthewCote out of the Belgrade, MT office found i have a natural spring comming up in my crawlspace. I knew I had water streaming all over crawlspace and my husband believed it was due to watering lawn of the hill our house sits on. Matt was great to work with, he was totally professional. He explained my situation and showed me in photos and map of my basement what this ssprincause, how it had eroded and damage caused. It has been going on for quite a few years, of which I noticed escalation of water even though I decreased watering on above lawn. I wish I had researched this sooner. But MATT assured me it's not too late. He was clear and concise as to what I needed done to resolve and eliminate further damage by installing 2 sump pumps, installing trenches & piping to drain all areas of water, draining ouside of house past septic and leach field, add a humidifier and encapsulation of crawlspace. I highly recommend Groundworks and Matt to anyone."
