Garage Floor sunk!! How do you fix that? How much?
Hey BP,
This one is a little off the wall, but just curious if anyone else has dealt with this already.
Just when you thought you'd seen a few things, you walk into a garage that sunk 2-4"...it's bizarre!
The foundation of the house is solid, but it looks like the garage floor was attached to the outside of the foundation or poured at a different time, because it sank. I think it was caused by some run-off issues with water.
The bottom line is I need to get it fixed. Who does that type of work, and how is it done?
Do I need to get someone to jack-hammer it out and haul off the old floor?
Can they just pour a new layer on top of the old layer?
I appreciate your time and thoughts!
Cheers,
-Sam

might want to call some mud jacking companies. I know they can raise and level concrete. A buddy of mine had it done in a carport, and they did a good job. They drill holes in the floor, and pump concrete or something under the slab to raise it. Not sure what he paid
