SIGNS OF BIG TROUBLE
WATER IS COMING FROM UNDER THE SLAB--HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE. MUST BE REMOVED AND REPLACED.
WHEN YOU SEE THESE IN YOUR HOME IT IS A FLASHING RED LIGHT TELLING YOU YOUR FOOTING/FOUNDATION IS MOVING--FURTHER DAMAGE COULD BE CATASTROPHIC.
INDICATES MOVEMENT IN WALLS OR FOOTING..
DECEPTION
THE EPOXY STONE IS AS THICK AS THE ORIGINAL CONCRETE..
WE KNOW OF VERY FEW PEOPLE OVER 24 YEARS THAT HAVE APPLIED AN OVERLAY SUCH AS THIS TO ONLY CHANGE THE SURFACE FINISH . ALMOST 95% OF OVERLAYS ARE THERE TO DECEIVE YOU ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE ORIGINAL CONCRETE. LETS FACE IT , NO PROBLEM? NO REASON TO OVERLAY! ONCE THIS PRODUCT IS APPLIED TO CONCRETE IT ENTERS THE PORES OF THE CONCRETE SURFACE AND ESSENTIALLY LIMITS ANY DIFFERENT PRODUCTS THAT CAN BE APPLIED. YOU EITHER CALL THEM BACK TO KEEP REPAIRING IT AS NEEDED OR, IF YOU WANT TO GET RID OF IT, THE OVERLAID CONCRETE WOULD HAVE TO BE REMOVED ENTIRELY AND NEW CONCRETE POURED.
WALLS GET OVERLAYS AS WELL..
WALLS ARE COVERED TO HIDE PROBLEMS AS WELL..WHEN IN DOUBT CALL US
BAD CONTRACTORS POUR OVER CLAY!
CONCRETE MUST HAVE CLEAN ROCK FOR A SUB BASE OR IT WILL HAVE A HOST OF PROBLEMS THAT ULTIMATELY DESTROY THE CONCRETE. IF WE FIND THIS UNDER YOUR CONCRETE PLAN FOR A CHANGE ORDER TO REMEDIATE THE PROBLEM
SEE THESE ALL THE TIME
CONSIDER THE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE IT TAKES TO DO THIS! EPOXY IS NOT STRONGER THAN PRESSURE ON CONCRETE. STABILIZE THE FOOTING OR YOU ARE JUST WASTING MONEY ON A BAND AID.
EPOXY TAKES THOUSANDS OF POUNDS PER SQ INCH TO RIP OPEN- YOU CAN BET THAT YOUR WALLS ARE MOVING. WITHOUT STABILIZATION OF THE FOOTING THE WALLS WILL NOT STOP MOVING. FURTHER DAMAGE WILL FOLLOW. DON'T BELIEVE IT? ASK TO SEE THE HUNDREDS OF PICTURES WE HAVE OF IT HAPPENING ALL OVER ST LOUIS. SMALL SAMPLE BELOW.
HALF OF A JOB-STILL RIPPED OPEN AND LEAKING
WHEN THE GUY SAYS HE CAN DO IT IN YOUR BUDGET..
PRESSURE-PHYSICS IN ACTION
STABILIZE THE FOOTING OR THE WALL WILL MOVE . COMMON SENSE GOES A LONG WAY IN THIS FIELD. SOMEONE PAID FOR THIS FAILURE.
GOT WATER PROBLEMS?
WE SEE THIS ALL THE TIME...WATER MUST DRAIN FROM THE HOME NEVER TO IT.
MOST JOBS REQUIRE SOME TYPE OF WATER MITAGATION
GARAGE PROBLEMS
THESE FLOORS ARE USUALLY HOLLOW
ITS NOT UNCOMMON TO FIND A CAR FELL THRU THE GARAGE FLOOR. PROCRASTINATION AT WORK.
