Concrete slab under wood floor crack repair.

Today I received several photographs of a large crack that developed under a hardwood floor in a slab-on-grade application. The crack buckled the hardwood flooring. The home owner consulted several contractors and engineers to solve the problem. No cost effective solution could be found until Roadware contractor, Clay Kenny, (Manderville, Lousiana) arrived on the scene.



Using Roadware 10 Minute Concrete Mender™ and silica sand, Clay repaired the crack to full depth and re-bonded the slabs back together using Roadware's Microdoweling™technology.



The repairs cured in just 10 minutes and Clay was on and off the job in just 3 hours. The home owner was amazed. Clay and 10 Minute Concrete Mender™ did what couldn't be done. The hard wood flooring was re-installed and the floor was put back in service faster then anyone could imagine. This repair took nine 600ml cartridges of #80300 Roadware 10 Minute Concrete Mender™ and a 40 lbs bag of silica sand to complete. The Concrete Mender™ turned a flooring disaster into an opportunity. 



Anyone in the concrete business knows that concrete can be unpredictable and even a well thought-out project can develop cracks. Some are minor, and some can cause a real problem. Roadware 10 Minute Concrete Mender™ can help make the problems manageable.
