In this video I share with you a few tips on how to get a flat concrete floor when using a concrete power screed to screed your concrete floors. Knowing how to run the power screed and not get humps and dips in the floor is important for a successful installation.

Concrete work is HARD. Much respect!! Also, great presentation. Short, sweet and to the point!

@jayhakim3524 5 лет назад

please make more videos you teach me alot , i poured 315 yards last month with a 10 foot vibrastrike 2, 1 man and i had alot of humps but it didnt matter in a cattle lot and they wanted massive volume for the cheapest price, all 5 inches. so I raked and tamped it with my come-along then pulled it back 10 feet at a time while working with the driver. some sectioned humped and some did not.

@ClaytonsStuff Год назад

Great video. I am finishing my old garage. The floor has some cracks in it and looks like it was never screened when it was poured. It's very rough and out of level. Your videos will help me a lot and I hope to be done with it over the summer.

@johnkindall1907 3 года назад

Are you having to use effort to keep the screed on top of the concrete or does it rest on top? I haven't used one of these without a screed pole.

@bsbender1 2 года назад

Do you like to run the screed at full RPM’s, or do they fluctuate as you have different concrete slumps? I’ve used the vibrascred many times, but only with screed pipes. But I would definitely like to learn the wet screed method.

@AC-hu8br Год назад

Slope and slump have a lot to do with rpms.

@stevenmcintosh3303 Год назад

Mike I know this is an old video, but I've been watching a lot of your videos and have a question. If you're screeding a more narrow area, would you ever rest the ends of the screed on the forms if the screed board is longer than the area you're working. Would that still work ok?

@mcnizy Год назад

Yeah that would work, it’s the same as using edge forms as grade with a regular screed

@fenrirwolf2703 3 года назад

As a “raker” this shits dope. As long as you know how to efficiently take.

@mattjohnson5012 4 года назад

The whole purpose of screening is to get a flat surface. The rakers are important, but if you have high or low areas in the surface, it's due to poor screeding. That's what the screeder is for.

@MrDigger82 Год назад

Can but your pegs,what holds the form would have to be lower than the form

@boggsie62 4 года назад

Seems the concrete had too much water which would not allow it to be drug by the screed. It would also make the slab weak and prone to cracking. Would like to see a 4 or 5 slump worked with machine.

Yes when too much water is added it weaken, but the viberscreed brings up the cream from the concrete.

@braulioperales10 4 года назад

MrMayhem87 Could you please explain to me the term “slump” in concrete. What do you mean by concrete slump

@JeffMTX 4 года назад

@@braulioperales10 Search it in youtube- there are people who demonstrate it to death. It's how far down the cone falls when you pull the cone off the concrete mix. 0" < slump < 12" by definition, but 4in slump is a little dry, 6" slump is pretty wet. I think these guys must be using a water reducer to get liquidity like that.

@fabianromero3433 5 лет назад

The concrete is to wet

@peterphoenix6471 3 года назад

yip, you'd think it was a simple thing, but my god you wouldn't believe how many turkeys don't understand how to leave the raking slightly higher so the screed has something to even out.

@filikihetotonu455 4 года назад

I know that this is interior concrete but slump has to be a 10 and less then 2000 psi.

@grantkinzer4396 Год назад

He adds a plastizer admixture to the concrete, it increases slump without adding water. Just because it looks wet doesn’t mean it’s low PSI
