Can you say lawsuit? According to the national floor safety institute the average cost of medical care for a slip/trip fall In 2006 was over $22,000. The cost to defend against a claim was $50,000! The average jury award was over 100,000! And we have seen jury awards of over two million dollars for a...
A common problem with a garage floor This may be the first indication that your garage floor is settling, a slight gap under the garage sweep. Garage floors are supposed to be poured so water will drain our the door but when settling occurs at a corner, like the one pictured, water instead flows...
We come across two types of point loads, loads from above pushing down on the concrete and sub-grade supports that cause point loads when we attempt to raise the concrete. With this study we will be discussing the latter, sub-grade supports. Last year we came across another porch that had settled even though the builder...

Case study – wide but shallow Concrete porches that have settled
Wide but not deep porch “pinned” to foundation How porches settle and their dimensions even though the square footage may be the same greatly affects how much it will cost to level and the complexity of the job. Take the above example; we have a wide but shallow porch which was pinned to...
Concrete can be so much more than simple broom finished slabs. One of the fairly common things we see are driveways with a center section and/or sections along the edges that are colored or poured with exposed aggregate.
