Can you pour concrete over an existing basement floor?

• <div><p>Yes, you can pour concrete over an existing concrete basement floor to save time and money on fully ripping out an existing concrete slab. However, it’s not a perfect solution, so consult a pro before moving forward. You must take specific measurements, and these kinds of floors don’t have the same longevity.</p></div>

Q: Is concrete cheaper than pavers?

• <div><p>On average, concrete costs less than pavers for the same project. Standard broom-finished concrete costs from <b>$2 to $15 per square foot</b>. Stamped concrete costs between <b>$8 to $28 per square foot</b>. On the other hand, pavers cost from $8 to $50 per square foot. For any of these materials, the cost depends on which concrete finish or paver you choose. Keep in mind that the layout complexity, amount of site preparation, and location factor into the cost, too.</p></div>

Q: Do you need a special drill bit for concrete?

• <div><p>Yes, it's best to use a carbide-tipped masonry bit when drilling into concrete. These bits are harder and more durable than standard bits, so they're designed for drilling into tough surfaces like concrete. A different bit is likely to break and pose a safety hazard so you'll definitely want to stick with one that's specially designed for concrete. </p></div>

Q: Can you pour a slab without footings?

• <div><p>Yes, you can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-do-contractors-pour-solid-concrete-foundations.htm">pour a foundation</a> slab without footings, in which case it&rsquo;s often called a floating slab. Floating slabs don&rsquo;t have separate footings poured beforehand for support, which means they&rsquo;re better suited for smaller structures. Monolithic concrete slabs are another option for a slab foundation without standalone footings, although the vertical edges of the single-pour slab do act as footings.</p></div>

Q: Does adding water to concrete increase the slump?

• <div><p>Yes, adding water to concrete will increase its slump, so you should do so with caution. Always measure the slump of the concrete batch before you adjust it, and be sure not to add too much and push the slump too high. Doing so can cause the aggregate to separate, set inconsistently, or shrink.</p></div>
