Can I do concrete work myself?

• <div><p>For handy homeowners, concrete projects are DIYable, and DIYing is a good way to save on the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/concrete-slab-cost.htm">cost of a concrete slab</a>, walkway, or other concrete work. If you’re completing a larger project or one that’s subject to building codes, you should always hire a professional to ensure the job is done safely and correctly. </p></div>

Do concrete steps need a foundation?

• <div><p>Some local authorities and building codes require that you secure concrete stairs to the foundation wall or to your concrete slab. Check with your local building department for guidance. For older homes without a foundation, you’ll need to install a new footing or base beneath the steps. This could be a simple gravel bed or a more complex concrete footing, which a professional concrete contractor can help you with. </p></div>

Q: Why remove grass before pouring concrete?

• <div><p>Concrete should not be poured directly over grass, as this will impede the necessary tension of the concrete. Grass and soil can draw in moisture, leading to potential cracking. For a solid, lasting foundation, the area must be flat, firm, and completely dry.</p></div>

Q: Do steps need a foundation?

• <div><p>Concrete steps need concrete footings, which is a type of foundation. They are made of concrete with rebar reinforcement poured into a trench. The footings support the stairs, spread the vertical load, and prevent the steps from sinking. Footings need to be below the maximum depth that the ground freezes, typically at least 42 inches in depth.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don't put gravel under concrete?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t put gravel under concrete, the concrete can crack, sink, bow, or crumble. Even the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/concrete-forming.htm">concrete forming</a> process will not go as smoothly if you are working directly on the soil or bare bedrock. The lack of a proper gravel layer can also lead to drainage issues below your slab, leading to water issues throughout your lawn and around your foundation.</p></div>

Installed Mitsubishi heat pump. The heat pump will work until -5*. When I called Mark, he out here within a half hour. It was a totally different experience than that I had with a company earlier. Everyone with Airflo was terrific. I can't think a negative thing to say about them.
