CONCRETE REPLACEMENT STEPS

1. DEMOLITION & EXCAVATION

The old concrete floor is being demolished and excavated. Minimum 7" inches of the basement floor is being withdrawn to be replaced with new gravel bedding and concrete slab.

2.GRAVEL BEDDING

4"-5" Inch layer of 3/4" gravel cores is applied to prepare flat and stable base for the concrete slab. The gravel bedding is also minimize the capillary action for underground water to rise from the ground below.

3. MOISTURE BARRIER

6 MIL polyester film is firmly applied over the whole floor area. Moisture barrier stops the capillary action and the evaporation, and reduces basement humidity.

4. METAL REINFORCEMENT
