Frequently Asked Questions
What thickness is required for different concrete slab applications?
Slab thickness depends on intended use, with residential garage slabs typically requiring 4-6 inches and commercial applications often needing 6-8 inches or more. We evaluate your specific requirements and provide appropriate thickness recommendations based on load requirements and building codes.
How long does concrete slab installation typically take to complete?
Most residential concrete slab installations are completed within 2-3 days including excavation, preparation, concrete placement, and initial finishing work. Complex projects or challenging site conditions may require additional time for proper completion and curing.
Do concrete slabs require reinforcement for structural integrity?
Yes, most concrete slabs require reinforcement such as rebar or wire mesh to prevent cracking and ensure structural performance under loading conditions. We determine appropriate reinforcement based on slab size, thickness, and intended use according to engineering requirements.
What site preparation is necessary before concrete slab installation?
Site preparation includes excavation to proper depth, soil compaction, utility coordination, and installation of base materials and vapor barriers as required. We handle all preparation work to ensure optimal slab performance and compliance with building codes.
How soon can construction continue after concrete slab installation?
ight foot traffic is typically allowed after 24-48 hours, while full loading and construction activities should wait 7-14 days depending on concrete strength requirements. We provide specific timing guidance based on your project requirements and concrete specifications.
