The difference between concrete that lasts decades and concrete that cracks within years is in the preparation and installation process. At South Canyon Construction, we follow proven methods that ensure durability.
1. Site Evaluation and Planning
We start with a thorough assessment of your property’s soil conditions, drainage patterns, and specific needs. This allows us to plan the proper depth, reinforcement, and concrete mix for your specific project.
2. Proper Site Preparation
Many concrete failures stem from inadequate site prep. We remove all organic material, properly compact the soil, and install the right base materials to prevent settling and cracking.
3. Form Setting and Reinforcement
We install sturdy forms to make sure proper concrete thickness and edges. Depending on your project, we add fiber mesh, wire mesh, or rebar reinforcement to strengthen the concrete and prevent cracking.
4. Quality Concrete Mix
We use the right concrete mix for each application, typically 3000-4000 PSI for residential work, with proper water-to-cement ratios that ensure strength without excessive cracking.
5. Professional Finishing
Our experienced finishers create smooth, even surfaces with proper slopes for drainage. We install control joints at the right intervals to manage where cracking occurs.
6. Proper Curing
We don’t rush the curing process. Proper curing is essential for concrete strength development and crack prevention. We use appropriate curing methods based on weather conditions.
