Concrete & Home Services in Richmond

Richmond is built on a river delta, and the ground is soft. That single fact explains almost every concrete failure we get called out to look at here: slabs that have sunk, driveways that have cracked in the middle, and patios that no longer sit level with the door they were poured against.

Concrete does not settle. The ground under it does. So in Richmond the base preparation is not a step on the way to the real work, it is the real work. We dig deeper, compact harder, and reinforce properly, because that is what stops the slab from following the ground down.

The ground is also flat and low, which means water has nowhere obvious to go. Grading and drainage get the same seriousness for the same reason.
