How long does it take to build a concrete driveway?

• <div><p>Building a concrete driveway normally takes between one and three days, including the time to cure the concrete. Wait at least seven days <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-before-drive-on-concrete.htm">before driving on your driveway</a> and two days before walking on it. Your contractor may require additional time if you need to level the ground, install a drainage system, or order special concrete materials. Installing a driveway also often requires a permit, so be sure to include this wait into your prep time as well.</p></div>

Q: What are the warning signs of a serious concrete crack?

• <div><p>Minor hairline cracks in your concrete may not look pretty, but they&rsquo;re often not serious. It&rsquo;s when concrete cracks are larger&mdash;wide enough that you can slide a credit card into it&mdash;that you need to worry. If you monitor a crack and can trace its active expansion over time, you&rsquo;ll definitely want to call in a pro to inspect it and, potentially, repair it. Want to prevent cracks in your garage and driveway concrete in the future? Stay on top of sealing. Here&rsquo;s how to seal your concrete garage floor and driveway.</p></div>

Q: How do you prevent concrete cracks from forming?

• <div><p>Unfortunately, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-prevent-concrete-cracks.htm">concrete cracks happen</a>, so there&rsquo;s no surefire way to avoid them long-term. To slow down the cracking, apply a sealant every two to three years and use sand rather than salt to melt snow or ice. Using salt speeds up the freeze-thaw cycle, which may increase the likelihood of cracking. Additionally, keep vehicles and heavy machinery off of your concrete, as the weight can lead to more cracking.</p></div>

Q: Will sealer waterproof my garage floor?

• <div><p>Concrete sealers will help your garage floors resist water, but they will not make the floor waterproof. You will need to purchase a specific waterproof floor paint for concrete and apply several coats over several days if you want your garage floor to be truly impermeable. While the process is similar to sealing the floors, the materials are different, and the need for multiple coats will extend the process and drying time.</p></div>

Q: How much base is needed under a concrete slab?

• <div><p>You should have at least <b>4 to 6 inches</b> of compactable base under your concrete slab. Your contractor may recommend more depending on the structure.</p></div>
