The Job Site: Curing
Time must be allowed for concrete to cure and gain strength after it is poured. This is the longest stage of the house leveling process and it usually takes 7-14 days to fully harden.
 This is the second of two steel rebar mats that are inserted in the freshly poured concrete for strength. Additional concrete is then poured on top to finish the pier. |
 After the final load of concrete is poured, a worker will smooth the top of the pier and form a level surface. |
 This concrete has cured (dried) for 7 - 14 days and is now able to support heavy loads. |
 This concrete has cured for approximately ten days. Before the jacking and leveling process begins the workmen will remove any debris. |
