Advances in technology has allowed for foundation repair products to dry faster, stronger and more durable than before. When reviewing the option of replacing your concrete floor it is important to consider how deteriorated the concrete actually is. Is the damage caused by poor installation and / or spalling? The question is how much spalling is there? How much chipping is there? Is there a structural break? How much material is missing?
