First, lets talk about things everyone needs to know when talking to a concrete contractor. Not one concrete
mixing company guarantees their concrete mix... Due to the fact that a concrete contractor can put too much water
in the mix before they pour it out of their mixing truck & that's not their fault. In that case it would fall on the
finishing company.
Second, the concrete finishing contractor (Hayes Concrete) doesn't have a guarantee on the concrete either. We
get our concrete premixed by concrete plants and all the plants have batch computers. Sometimes the batch
computers can get off calibrated, which could put too much sand , Portland cement & water into a batch. It could
also cause just the opposite, not enough sand, Portland cement & water. Another thing that concrete finishing
companies have no control over is that drivers can have their water valve turned on while driving the concrete batch
to your project site. They have also brought what is known as " hot mud " out to concrete projects. Hot mud is what
occurs when old concrete is left on the truck from a previous job and is mixed with the new batch that is being
brought out to a new project.
Third " there is always a potential for cracking, but we do everything to ensure that it doesn't ."
by putting control joints in the concrete where we think the most stressed point(s) are. Were there is a stress point
in the concrete we put either an grooved, key way, expansion or sawed joint(s) to ensure that the concrete will have
it's most life.
