Water pools in a small part of our back patio. About 6 different contractors have all quoted us thousands of dollars to tear up and redo the concrete slab.

Just wondering I have a concrete slab with 16 x 14 gazebo sitting on it, when it rains water ends up on it and I have to push with a broom or wait for it to evaporate. the cement that was put down was self levelling called Agilia, so the floor is completely level. Any ideas how I can slope from center out to all sides as this is a bigger job than just a porch walk out? Fantastic video by the way reading other people comments is proof of that as well as watching the video myself.

@DecoCreteTV

3 күн бұрын

Thanks for the comment! The technique in this video would still work on a larger scale, you would just need longer screed board. If you work from center out to edge in the short direction, you could do this with an 8' board. It'll be tough to do that size of an area seamlessly, and it will require mutable batches of the mix. The best thing would be to treat this as a two step process. The first step would be creating the slope and it probably won't look that great at this point. Once you have the slope the way you want it, you could apply a thinner overlay to make it look good. I'll leave a link to our video on broomed overlay below.

Thanks for the comment!! We don't have a full video on that exact thing, but we do have a few on the basics of forming a concrete slab. For exterior concrete, the minimum slope required to get the water running would be 1" of slope per 10', but depending on the situation, you might want to give it a little more. We prefer 1.5" per 10' on stamped concrete, just to make sure the water makes it over the grout lines & textures. I'll leave links to a few other videos that may be helpful.

Even if it dose crack, as long as you do the prep work, priming, and application properly, it'll just be a hair line crack and still function just fine. Thanks for watching Deco-Crete TV!!!
