Help! My basement slab is cracking..
“Has anyone had to put in a new concrete slab for a basement and had any issues with cracking? I had a contractor pour our slab about 18 months ago and polish it, and now have nearly a dozen cracks. Some cracks are horizontal and some vertical, running across the entire basement space. It’s possible the ground was improperly prepared as there was flooding about four months before the slab was done.
I’ve waited this long so that the house/slab would settle. The contractor wants to fill the cracks with caulking/epoxy. But I’m not sure that’s going to be sufficient and need advice (will there be more cracks, will the current ones continue to deepen and how to remedy what has happened). So I’m looking for suggestions of people/companies to call who specialize in addressing this sort of thing. Thank you!”

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
