Magna concrete, from dig-out to cure

Concrete work in Magna follows the same order we use everywhere else: dig-out, base, forms, steel, pour, joints and cure. What changes from one Magna property to the next is the ground, the access and what the slab has to carry, and that is what we look at first.

Footings in this area go below the frost line, which local building departments put near 30 inches on most lots, with more required on some high benches and at canyon mouths. Outdoor concrete here should be air-entrained, because a Wasatch Front winter brings dozens of freeze-thaw cycles and a steady drip of road salt off every car.

Around Magna

Around Great Salt Lake State Park - Saltair Beach and Mollys Nipple, and in every other corner of Magna, the questions on a concrete job stay the same. How firm is the ground, where does the water go, and how thick does the slab need to be?

Newer subdivisions often sit on backfill and fill dirt that keeps settling for years, so the first few feet out from a foundation get extra compaction before any slab goes over them.

Neighbors of Magna in Lake Point, West Valley City, Stansbury Park and Kearns get the same free estimate and the same seven-step build on every job.

Questions

Magna FAQs

Do you build walkout basements in Magna?

Yes. A walkout in Magna follows the same steps as anywhere else we work: a permit and an engineer's letter for the opening, the dig-out, the cut and header, footings, walls on both sides, a drain at the bottom and steps up to the yard.

How deep do footings go in Magna?

Below the frost line, and the local building department sets that depth. Along most of the Wasatch Front it falls around 30 inches, and higher ground can call for more. We dig to the depth on the permit, then to firm soil if it sits lower.

Who issues driveway approach permits in Magna?

Whichever city or county maintains the street in front of the lot. Work that reaches into the public right-of-way, like the approach or a wider curb cut, usually needs that permit, and the process differs from place to place, so it gets sorted before digging.

When is the best time to pour concrete in Magna?

Flatwork like driveways and patios goes in spring through fall, when nights stay above freezing. Footings, foundations and walkout work can keep going in winter with blankets and protected ground. Summer pours start early to stay ahead of the heat.

How do I get a concrete estimate in Magna?

Call (801) 406-3606 or send the form with the job, its rough size and what is there now. The contractor will ring you, run through the scope and pick a day to see the site. The estimate costs nothing.

Will my new concrete crack?

Probably a little, and that is normal. Concrete shrinks as it cures, which is why control joints get cut: the crack forms inside the joint where you cannot see it. Cracks that wander across panels, open wide or shift in height point to a base or drainage problem, and that is what the dig-out and base steps are there to prevent.
