How to level your garage floor.

A thorough cleaning is also necessary to get the subflooring ready to accept the liquid bonding agent. Use a 4000 3 8 mix with fibermesh. Fill cracks in concrete subfloor and make sure the filled areas are level before cleaning the subfloor. For garages it is a little less simple.

Since the product is water based it flows with gravity to fill in the low areas of the slab. What you can do is by filling these low spots with water and once it has been drained use a marker to outline the low spots. First crucial step in leveling your garage floors is to mark out all the low points. I would find the highest point of the existing concrete floor go 1 5 inches over that then raise the back of the floor enough to get pitch away from the house and to the garage doors.

Roll on a bonding agent like weld crete to your clean and dry concrete floor before the new pour. And so when water drops off the car from rain or more particularly ice and snow it drops off onto the garage floor and starts to go in different low spots on the floor. Do take a mental note as to where the water will go. If you need to level low spots on your floor use a concrete patching compound.

This garage floor had settled about 1 before being raised and brought back to grade with the adjoining driveway. A garage floor should have enough slope for it to drain but it should not have low spots that allow water to puddle. Leveling compound is the classic and the easiest to fix a floor that is uneven. In fact for some interior floors it s just a matter of pouring leveling compound out and letting it find its own level.

And the problem is is that the floor of our garage is not level.
