2 Year Warranty | CAD Concrete And Excavating
2-Year Concrete Warranty
Refrain from using deicing salts in the first year after the concrete pad, approach, driveway or sidewalk is completed. It is preferred you never use them. Please use sand for traction. Never use ammonium sulphate or ammonium nitrate to remove ice since they deteriorate the concrete surface if used.
CAD Concrete And Excavating will perform all work in a professional and quality manner following standard concrete practices. We strive to keep up to date on the newest products and techniques and work with our suppliers and concrete producers to provide the best quality materials. Our employees are trained to prepare, form, place and finish concrete to some of the highest concrete industry standards. CAD Concrete And Excavating takes pride in doing the best quality work as a concrete contractor for our customers in Winnipeg and Manitoba.
CAD Concrete And Excavating are not liable for repairs arising from misuse, ground movement, winter freeze-thaw cycles, accidents or extreme acts of nature. This warranty does not apply to and is waived by the homeowner as to, any construction work that has been subjected to an accident, misuse and/or abuse, and does not apply to any work that has been modified by persons other than CAD Concrete And Excavating employees or subcontractors. No warranty is expressed/implied regarding the cosmetics of a repair. The subject’s appearance will be considered secondary to its long-term functionality and durability.
Concrete work can have small imperfections that do not compromise quality or durability. The Limited Workmanship Warranty expires two years from the date the concrete is poured. Concrete can be damaged by factors beyond our control. Damage from excessive wear and tear, de-icers/salts, chemicals, equipment, and overweight vehicles are out of our control and we can not cover misuse with this Limited Warranty.
Concrete will crack from frost heaving. This is why we use crack control cut lines in concrete pads that are 25% of the depth for concrete pads, sidewalks and driveways. If a crack appears we may be able to assist in the prevention of further cracking. Repair or replacement for cracked concrete is greater than 1⁄4” of an inch displacement either in height or width. Repair of concrete cracks with caulk or mortar will be considered an acceptable form of repair. If we determine that repair or replacement is required, we will replace or repair only the affected area. When replacing a section of concrete we can not guarantee a match in colour. Aged concrete changes colour and it is not possible to match the colour.
We also cover the popping, chipping, and spalling of the concrete surface if more than 30% of the concrete. Repair of the surface will only be repaired on a per-section basis under the warranty. Popping, chipping, and spalling repairs may get an acrylic sealer coat on the entire area after the concrete repair. The customer agrees to not use de-icer or salt on the new concrete for the time this is valid. Please use sand WITHOUT salt only. All claims will be at the discretion of CAD Concrete And Excavating. Road salt is used on roads after snow removal when the temperature is warmer than -10. This can lead to salt dropping from vehicles which damages the concrete pad or driveway. Salt on the concrete can be minimized by washing your vehicles often. Salt damage will not be covered.
Surface or hairline cracks are not covered. Thin concrete caps over existing concrete are not covered under this warranty. Unfortunately, we can not cover caps on concrete pads, driveways, and sidewalks. The concrete cap will crack exactly how the concrete pad, sidewalk or driveway below it is cracked. Also, the adhesion of the new concrete to the existing concrete can only be as good as the existing concrete strength.
