Concrete GONE WRONG! Had to Remove and Replace

In this video we show you how to demo, setup, and pour a concrete driveway! We had just poured this concrete driveway a couple months ago, as well as the neighbors driveway. This one had cracked up everywhere and the neighbors was fine. So here we are breaking it out and putting a new one in! Enjoy and don't forget to like, share, comment and subscribe

I’m the homeowner. Just came across this video of our driveway. We noticed the next morning the concrete did not look right. My husband is in the construction biz and he said right off it looked like it was contamination. We knew it wasn’t any fault of Dave’s crew because he did a beautiful job on neighbors driveway across street. We notified Dave immediately and he was very responsive.  We kept wetting it per instructions for a couple weeks and it just kept getting worse. Yes we were stressed because in these times so many don’t take responsibility for their work. We are so grateful to have chosen a contractor with high standards and integrity. He put us on his busy schedule and redid the driveway a couple months later. And it’s beautiful. Seems funny to say that about a bunch of concrete but what a huge difference it’s made for us. Our old driveway was collapsed and cracked from dead tree roots. Love it!

Nice work. Respect to a man with integrity to completely stand by his work, without the slightest bit of finger pointing or complaining. Job wasn't done right, we'll make it right.

The fact that you were prepared to accept that there was a problem with this job is to your credit, without trying to overtly offset blame, adds greatly to your Company’s reputation. Hopefully the financial losses incurred in fixing this problem will, in time be more than recovered. Well done David and congratulations to your team.

Nice work. I've delivered concrete for over 20 years and you show a lot of pride in your work. Your customer here was very lucky to have hired you.

[GodFreeAtLast]

Very impressive. In less than 5 minutes into the video, the company's integrity is evident. If I were to start a home service company, I would make videos like this for all to see. Not only to showcase the quality work done but also to show that if anything was to go wrong, it would be made right. A great form of advertising. Nice job.

I've watched you demo alot of concrete driveways and never seen it crumble into small pieces like that. Way to stand behind your work removing and replacing that driveway. Thanks for the video of

[musiclove]

just back in the trades after years away and maddened by cleaning up messes by previous contractors...up at 230 am watching a damn driveway get done right and makes me happy:) good work gentlemen

[shyamdevadas]

I really respect your integrity. So many contractors would have wanted to bury such a mistake. It's great to see someone who stands by their work and is willing show how things sometimes don't work out.

I bet the home owner was worried when the old slab started to break up. Then Odell comes through in a big way with a complete repour!! Nice work David!

[natej]

Odell, you can save a sample of the concrete you just took out and have it tested at a lab for strength. Then compare the results with what you actually paid for. That should be proof enough for the concrete plant.

As a concrete worker myself I got to say that I'm very impressed by the integrity and work these guys have. Looks like the compactor may need to be replaced with a bigger one or just a new one, seems it was having issues. What really had me a bit worried was the brooming itself i'm used to doing those in 1 pass either pull or push/pull through the whole slab because I get worried that those multiple passes with the broom will either give me a different broom look all around or have a ugly in-between spot. Yeah the brooming does fade away eventually and you dont notice the marks later but thats usually years down the line.. anyway cheers and great work!

I worked for a concrete contractor back in the 1980s and quality conrete made a huge difference. The newest plant washed the sand and gravel so it was clean and easy to work with

Great video, it's nice to see a true professional stand behind their work. I imagine it's a tough pill to swallow, especially when it was most likely the batch, but there is no substitute for doing the right thing. 👍🇺🇸❤

[theone]

When I complain to my contractor that the concrete they just poured a few months ago was cracking they just blew me off and said that’s normal so I have a Lotta respect for you

[RoadWarrior-lovt]

Very cool stuff. Thank you for letting us rubberneck your driveway job. Seriously, this is right up my alley for interesting stuff to watch the pros do.

[pstewart]

Over a million views! Great work & integrity to fix a pour that didn't meet your quality expectations. The mark of a good business mind and a true professional. There are times when a job doesn't turn out how we want it to, and the true character comes out in those times.

[MG-rgjo]

Good to see you stand behind your work.

[homebrewmax]

I like and subscribe to your channel. The fact that you showed your "mistakes" and will fix the problem is huge, you gained respect 10 fold right there.

[DaveCollette]

You're a class act!! Wish more people had your level of integrity.

[Nothingtoya]

I have to say, I'm extremely impressed by you guys. Being in construction myself, you see so many people cut corners, especially with compaction of the base material. The only thing I might add, get your guys a larger compactor.
