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>

Does spraying water on concrete help it cure?

• <div><p>Spraying water on concrete will slow down the curing process and can help create a stronger slab. Spraying your concrete may be necessary if you’re pouring in hotter temperatures above 60 degrees Fahrenheit, if it’s particularly windy, or if your new concrete is exposed to intense sunlight. Avoid spraying for the first four hours, and then spray five to 10 times a day for the following week. </p></div>

Q: What is the best material to make concrete forms?

• <div><p>For most homeowners, wood and wood screws are the best materials to make concrete forms because they&rsquo;re affordable, readily available, and easy to work with. Steel is a better concrete form material because you can use it thousands of times for repeated work, but this is most useful in commercial applications where one job is necessary many times over.</p></div>

Q: Is concrete more durable than asphalt?

• <div><p>In terms of durability, concrete driveways can last more than <b>50 years</b> when properly maintained, compared to the typical <b>30 years</b> for an asphalt driveway. However, the durability depends on the climate, base material and thickness, and thickness of the concrete or asphalt used. The longevity of concrete or asphalt driveways also depends on how well it&rsquo;s maintained and the amount of wear and tear it endures.</p></div>

Q: What is making my concrete green?

• <div><p>If your concrete stains are green in color, it indicates the presence of mold or algae&mdash;which you should address right away. If left unattended, mold will spread to other areas throughout the home. However, be careful not to disturb mold on indoor concrete surfaces and work with a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/mold-removal/">local mold remediation specialist</a> for specialized care. Once free from mold and algae, seal your concrete to eliminate pores and gaps.</p></div>
