So often our garage floor is out of sight, out of mind. Or you may think that cracks in your garage floor are just cosmetic and natural because of the vehicles and other heavy equipment you park on it. However, these cracks can be caused by something far more serious, and, if not repaired, can lead to having to completely replace your entire garage floor at a great cost.

Garage floor leveling is a great solution to raise up and support your garage floor without having to replace it, and with a process that will not create downtime or mess. Whether your garage is attached or detached, so long as the concrete slab itself is sitting on soil (and not above another level such as a basement), concrete leveling can help you prevent further sinking and damage.

If the floor to your detached garage is sinking, the entire structure may begin to shift, which can cause problems such as doorways becoming crooked and no longer being able to open and close garage doors, gaps opening and letting water in, and an overall decrease in structural integrity. We can also level attached garages so long as the slab is separate from the foundation and the structure of the garage sits on the foundation itself. This means that the garage floor and the garage structure are independent and therefore we can level your garage floor without any risk to the structure of your home. With an attached garage, you run the risk of damage to the foundation of your home if the slab is not leveled and corrected by trusted professionals.

Beneath your concrete garage floor, there may be utilities, not just soil. Because of this, if the soil continues to wash away, the weight of the unsupported concrete can damage things such as piping, electrical, or other home systems such as drainage. If your garage floor does not get fixed in a timely manner, those systems can sustain significant damage and the entire concrete floor will need to be torn up, the systems fixed, and new concrete poured. Simply pouring more concrete over existing cracked and sinking concrete does not fix the underlying problem either. The entire slab, now with even more weight on it, will continue to sink until the void in the soil beneath the slab is filled and your concrete is back to level.

If you notice you have cracks in your garage floor or driveway, can see that the floor has shifted, or there are new gaps around your garage, call us today to get your garage floor leveled! We also level concrete walkways, patios, and more.
