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>

Will wet concrete bond to dry concrete?

• <div><p>No, wet concrete will not bond to dry concrete without an additional bonding agent. The common alternative is adding a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-anybody-use-sand-base-they-pour-concrete-driveway.htm">sand or gravel layer under a concrete slab</a> to enhance bonding and create a stable foundation. The right choice depends on the height and thickness of your two slabs, local laws, and the use of the specific concrete slab. </p></div>

Q: How can you tell if a concrete job is bad?

• <div><p>Visible cracks, scaling, flaking, and uneven surfaces indicate a bad concrete job. Additional signs vary depending on the project. You may notice poor drainage or even exposed rebar. Quality issues result from using the wrong concrete, rushing the work, or inexperienced workers completing the job.</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: How often should I water new concrete?

• <div><p>You should water new concrete by spraying it five to 10 times per day for the first seven days. This process of moist curing allows the concrete to become as strong as possible to prevent cracks and weak concrete. Moist-cured concrete is 50% stronger than concrete that was not sprayed with water during the first week. The only exception is if you pour concrete in the winter. Then, spraying with water is not recommended.</p></div>

Wanted a concrete pad but Derek noted major drainage problems. He removed grass and dirt and graded and installed new sod plus the pad. I am very pleased with the work as is the neighborhood!
