How to level your garage floor.

Do take a mental note as to where the water will go. And the problem is is that the floor of our garage is not level. A garage floor should have enough slope for it to drain but it should not have low spots that allow water to puddle. First crucial step in leveling your garage floors is to mark out all the low points.

Use a 4000 3 8 mix with fibermesh. My wife and i built a house about 10 years ago and we have a 2 car attached garage. 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. Roll on a bonding agent like weld crete to your clean and dry concrete floor before the new pour.

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. Since the product is water based it flows with gravity to fill in the low areas of the slab. 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. All that s required in leveling a garage floor is to mix the product according to the manufacturer s directions and pour it over the affected areas.

In fact for some interior floors it s just a matter of pouring leveling compound out and letting it find its own level. Leveling compound is the classic and the easiest to fix a floor that is uneven. This garage floor had settled about 1 before being raised and brought back to grade with the adjoining driveway. Apply leveling compound in certain spots.

For garages it is a little less simple.
