  • When Can't You Level Concrete?
    Feb 6 2024

    In this episode of the Check A Pro Radio Show, our host was joined by Zachary Zaras from Level Concrete. They discussed common issues found in concrete structures in residential areas, such as houses, driveways, sidewalks, and pool decks.

    Over time, irregularities can form in your concrete slabs, causing them to move. In this episode, the host and guest discuss how Level Concrete can fix these discrepancies. Zachary explains how the company manages to repair different types of concrete all day, every day.

    The conversation then shifted to the limitations of what they can fix. For instance, if a concrete section is smaller than two foot by two foot or badly damaged, it may need to be replaced. However, the team at Level Concrete often finds workarounds even when other companies suggest full replacements. It's also important to note that while cracks can be filled to prevent moisture and debris from penetrating, they will always remain visible.

    They further delve into the process of concrete repair, detailing a process that cleans and grinds out cracks and injects silicone to seal them. By sealing the cracks, the company provides a long-lasting solution to prevent the intrusion of moisture, dirt, weeds, and pests like ants.

    In case of severe damage caused by ants or rotting wood expansion joints, Level Concrete has solutions in place. The team removes as much of the damaged material as possible before applying a silicone product that bonds permanently to the concrete, providing protection against water and critters.

    Despite the efficiency of their procedures, Zachary clarifies that regular maintenance, similar to house painting or fascia replacement, is still necessary. The episode closes with a reminder of the different types of harm ants can cause to the soil underneath the concrete and how their process can help prevent this damage.
