Outstanding
I’ve got a problem project and this gives me some direction
Awesome I'm glad it helps.!
Nice blue sky there.
yes it is a pretty area, thanks for watchin!
Beautiful job!
thank you!
please show the cement product you used, name,etc
Grinding the tall edge would have been another option, perhaps more durable.
Did you dampen the existing concrete before the bonding agent or before the sakrete application? I’ve heard that improves bonding.
Good video!! My pool deck is uneven and looking for a economical long lasting fix
thanks for the compliment, good luck to fixing your pool deck!
What is the product your using?
I think I'll try this to bridge the transition between my garage floor and driveway. It's about 1" and i routinely wheel heavy tools out into the driveway and while they roll around fine in the garage with the casters that they are on, getting them back into the garage after use is somewhat of a manual experience as they aren't really set up for that much difference in elevation.
I completely understand, all my equipment is pretty much on wheels. This would make a great solution to that! Our fix in the video is still going strong today!
🎉🎉
Thank you for your presentation. What is the concrete name, brand? Can it be used the sunken driveway from garage floor?
quickcrete brand, and yes it would be a temporary fix for you because most likely the driveway would keep sinking unless fixed the right way👍
Are there any issues with the feathered edges chipping over time?
that was my concern too but after using this stuff a few times im convinced that it will hold up for a long time as long as the old concrete is scuffed and clean to allow for good adhesion. I also forgot to mention that this product has 5000 psi strength!! it dries fast so you have to make small batches👍
To fix the hair line cracks. lightly spray with water then take some dry mix. Put some on a piece of burlap and rub it in..
thanks!
Would this product work in your driveway to level out 2 foot x 1 1/2 foot area of concrete if you are driving over it every day in your car? Or, is it better made just for foot traffic like you guys did in your video?
it should work because this product is strong but i would need to see the area to confirm...
Curious if you went ahead with this and what your results were/are? I've been thinking about doing the same thing; it's in a spot where grinding wouldn't be a good option, but I worry about how durable this is with driving on it.
Looked like 6 inches to me 👀
Would you still recommend the plastic ontop during the process if this is done indoors? The facility i maintenance has water tanks everywhere so its fairly moist*. A small puddle takes 12-24 hours to dry sometimes. Its a hydroponics facility with the same issue where 2 warehouses were combined.
sounds like a very humid environment. You should be OK without the plastic👍 that will make for a great cured product!
sounds like the environment is humid enough so you can do without the plastic and you will get a strong finished product!👍
@WorknDirt Monday morning, No cracks and looks great 👍 safe as can be
@@humbertomacias3239 its a special day when you can limit/prevent cracks in concrete! nice work!
Would concrete contractors be able to do this? I have a 1''-2'' difference between my garage and driveway because I had someone give me an estimate on trying to raise my driveway. He said they can stabilize it but raising it might cause a domino effect on the other slabs since I have some flat and others angled. This might be a option for me because tried to some concrete repair before and turned out not very good.
yes this would be a good semi-temporary option for you because it sounds like you have a lot of settling going on so this option will eventually crack or become unlevel again far in the future.
The only way to fix that amount of settling is to remove the concrete and fix the grade. which of course is a lot more money. just make sure you use the right product similar to the one I mentioned and follow2 the directions exactly. Good luck!
Well I ‘m definitely going to at least get it stabilized by foam injection soon to stop it from sinking more. Just wondering if concrete contractors could make a ramp like that in front of the garage because I did it before and not holding up a few years later.
@@chrisburger8794 I understand, all scenarios have their own issues but a good Concrete contractor should be able to do a good patch. Installing stress joints and east edges can't prevent ugly cracking. But I repeat, a good contractor using good products should be able to fix the situation for a good amount of time.
im thinking the tape should not have been used, feather it out smooth without the tape
Sakrete Top'n Bond Preparation of surface:
.....
5. Dampen concrete surface just prior to applying Top ‘n Bond.
6. DO NOT USE A BONDING AGENT.
thank you for catching that ! you do not need a bonding agent! sorry folks
Just enough knowledge to cost that business even more money. I had hope when you talked about the dam. Looks good, but this is wrong and won't last more than a few years
there is a cost associated to "length of benefit" for every solution. this customer wanted a cost friendly fix. still looks good today!
how would u do it differently?
what isn the product not the cement you only showed the fortifier?
sacrete top n bond, sorry for the delay, it was in the very beginning of the vid. thanks for watching
what is the name of the concrete
Sacrete, top n bond
get that girl a knee pad
we have some but sometimes they're just as painful .. and sometimes we're stubborn lol thanks for watchin
@@WorknDirt just get a decent pair. 40$ for kneepads that last months is cheaper than a single chiro visit for a messed up knee
Im sure she was fun after dinner!
Too much talk. Not helpful at all. Cut ot the verbal diarrhea instead show clearly what you, I mean the young lady, are doing.
👍
