hwh pad 2x3x4"

Concrete estimating unit cost for a concrete pad under a hot water heater-- size 2 ft x 3 ft x 4" thick.

This cost applies to a slab placed in an unfinished (dirt floor) basement, or for a raised slab poured on top of a regular basement floor slab.

One unit.

We figure about a little less than 3/4 hour of labor-- part skilled and part unskilled.

The cost includes some forming lumber, a bit of reinforcing mesh, and ready-mix concrete. Add some time if you are mixing the concrete by hand.

$26.56 for each hot water heater base pad

One.

The cost will be much higher if the pad is the only work you're doing. The cost listed here will apply only if you are including it in along with a larger pour of a slab or footings. Add 1/2 to 1 hour of setup and cleanup time if it's all you are doing!

Add about 1/2 hour for hand-mixed concrete from bagged concrete mix, or 3/4 hour if you are mixing gravel, sand and portland cement (9:3:1).
