How much basement wall bowing is acceptable?

• <div><p>Generally, a wall can bow up to 30% of its thickness, or around 2.5 inches for an 8-inch-thick structure, before it becomes an urgent situation. If your basement wall bows more than 1 inch, it's time to have a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-inspect-your-basement.htm">basement inspection</a> to determine if a repair is necessary, depending on the soil conditions and structural specifics. Walls nearing 4 inches of bowing will require significant repairs. More than 6 inches of bowing usually means the wall will need replacing. </p></div>

Q: Why should businesses opt for expert installation for their concrete surfaces?

• <div><p>Professionals provide long-lasting, structurally sound, and aesthetically appealing concrete surfaces tailored to business needs.</p></div>

Q: How do professionals ensure durability in wall construction?

• <div><p>Through proper drainage solutions and compacting the foundation soil.</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: 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>

They seemed to get everything wrong. There were holes in the out- side wall and boards that didn't reach etc. Boards weren't sanded , one board still had the staple and tag on it from the lumber store. Do not expect much.

Antonio and his crew are wonderful to work with. They redid our driveway retaining walls with a beautiful stacked natural fieldstone. Communication of the scope and budget was very clear and there were no surprises. The workmanship is top notch. I highly recommend Bolani Masonry.
