Concrete Solutions for Seattle's Rainy Climate

How we engineer concrete to handle 37+ inches of annual rainfall and prevent structural erosion.

Drainage is the single most important factor in Seattle concrete work. Without proper subgrade preparation and runoff management, even the thickest slab will eventually fail due to hydrostatic pressure and soil erosion.

At Cloud Concrete, we prioritize geological audits to ensure water moves away from your structure, preventing soil erosion and frost heave. We use specialized drainage rock as our base and integrate channel drains or catch basins into our driveway and patio designs where necessary.

Our goal is to ensure your concrete remains dry and stable even during the heaviest November downpours. We also recommend proper concrete sealing to protect against moisture penetration. Schedule a consultation to learn how we engineer concrete specifically for Seattle's climate.
