Will projects involving cement affect my property taxes?

• <div><p>Generally speaking, adding concrete landscaping features will cause your property taxes to increase. That’s because projects that involve a permanent concrete foundation require permits and permanently improve the land. Since taxes are based on improvements, your taxes will go up. Here are some projects that will likely have an impact on your taxes:</p><ul><li><p>Concrete pool decks</p></li><li><p>Concrete patios</p></li><li><p>Concrete walkways</p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-concrete-driveway-cost.htm">Concrete driveways</a></p></li><li><p>Concrete steps</p></li><li><p>Concrete foundations</p></li></ul><p>Since most of these will only lead to a partial improvement, you can expect the bump in your taxes to be minimal, but this is still something to consider.</p></div>

Q: How does concrete not stick to formwork?

• <div><p>Most of the time, you or your contractor will spray the concrete form and framework with a release agent or oil to prevent sticking. This is common practice with wood and steel forms. For insulated concrete forms, the styrofoam formwork often remains in place after construction, so you don&rsquo;t need to treat it beforehand. Foam concrete forms made out of melamine also may not need treatment beforehand, as the material naturally won&rsquo;t stick to the concrete after it&rsquo;s cured.</p></div>

Q: Can I use thinset mortar as a floor leveler?

• <div><p>While you shouldn&rsquo;t use thinset mortar on its own as a floor leveler, it can work alongside other products to help level floors. For instance, you could start with a self-leveling compound, let that dry, then apply backer board with thinset mortar to help fully even out the floors ahead of laying tile.</p></div>

Q: How do you repair cracks in a concrete driveway?

• <div><p>The method used to repair cracks in your concrete driveway will depend on the extent of the damage, but the most common method for small cracks is to use a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-resurface-concrete-driveway.htm">driveway resurfacing </a>compound. This solution is either cementitious or made of polyurethane, and it will seal the crack and make your driveway appear undamaged. </p><p>For more severe cracks, you will likely need to hire a professional driveway repair service. They can use mudjacking, epoxy injections, partial driveway replacements, or a combination of these to fix more serious cracks in your concrete driveway and to prevent recurring issues.</p></div>

Q: Can you pressure wash rust off concrete?

• <div><p>Yes, pressure washers can remove rust stains from concrete. However, when coupled with an acid treatment, they can be even more effective. Just be sure to use a minimum of a 15-degree nozzle to prevent damage to the surface, and users must also be careful not to get in the way of the pressure washer&rsquo;s jet as they can cut through skin and cause injury. </p></div>

I am very concerned about the pricing AAA Septic of Santa Fe charges the public. While I am still awaiting word of a compromise with the owner(?), Gino, I was charged over $2,100 for 20-25 minutes of time for two men to lift two septic tank lids off the top of existing risers at ground level to...
