Ron,
Was it caused by to much pressure or is a combination of soft concrete and pressure?I can think of at least 3 of our montly accounts that have soft concrete that make it very difficult to get gum cleaned off of.
We see a lot of soft concrete pours that you can leave divots in with a soap tip.
 
You can safely remove gum no matter how bad the concrete is.

Commercial concrete is suppose to be 6000 PSI and residential is 4000PSI according to national contractors association.

We know that bad poors happen all the time.

PW still have a responsibility not to further damage concrete reguardless of the situations.
 
Wouldn't it be wise, when "interviewing the customer" to ask the age of the concrete? I know in some instances it takes months for the concrete to properly cure.

Almost makes me wonder if "testing in an inconspicuous" area might apply before proceding.

There are a few bank chains building branches all over the place here and PA has some oil leaking vehicles for sure...
 
Ron,
If you keep following Rick around he is going to put a restraining order on you.

Part of the problem, or more likely 90% of the problem is when there is a pour the finishers like to put in extra water to make it easier to work. When they do that it weakens the concrete and reduces the psi rating. It is really hard to communicate that in spanish.

For 2008 i got two eight packs and working on another 4 pack. hes going to let Rick keep the ones in glendale since hes closer.
