Keep your garage floor level.

The impact of an uneven garage floor often goes unnoticed until it becomes a daily inconvenience, hindering your ability to navigate your space or work on projects. If your garage floor exhibits cracks or irregularities, prompt action is vital to prevent further damage.

Garage floors are susceptible to sinking and settling over time like other concrete slabs. In the case of attached garages, settlement issues typically manifest near the foundation wall due to inadequate soil compaction during backfilling. This can lead to water pooling around your foundation, posing risks not only to the garage floor but to the structural integrity of the entire building. Fortunately, attached garage floors, poured within foundation walls, are relatively straightforward to address.

Our innovative polyurethane concrete leveling method offers an efficient and non-invasive solution for lifting and leveling attached garage floors. This process eliminates the need for excavation or concrete removal, making it a cost-effective option. We begin by drilling small holes into the sunken slab, through which polyurethane foam is injected. As the foam expands, it fills voids and stabilizes the slab, curing within minutes. Once the injection process is complete, we patch the holes, and your garage floor is ready for immediate use. Unlike traditional methods like mudjacking, polyurethane foam provides a long-lasting solution that withstands the test of time.

Furthermore, our polyurethane foam is environmentally friendly, ensuring safety for your household members, including children and pets. If you're seeking a reliable and durable method to restore the functionality and stability of your attached garage floors, look no further than Levicon Concrete Solutions.

Why is my garage floor sinking?

If your attached garage floor is sinking, several factors could be at play, each contributing to the gradual deterioration of your concrete surface. Poor soil compaction, inadequate drainage, water pooling, and heavy vehicle traffic are among the primary causes to consider.

Poor compaction during construction can result in soft spots within the soil, incapable of adequately supporting the weight of your garage and vehicles. Over time, the weight of parked vehicles exacerbates these weak areas, causing the slab to sink further into the ground. Consequently, cracks may develop, posing tripping hazards, and the floor slab may even pull away from the walls, compromising the garage's structural integrity.

Water pooling presents another common issue leading to sinking and settling in attached garages. This occurs when the garage is constructed on insufficiently sloped terrain or when gutters and downspouts are positioned too close to the structure. Additionally, overflowing gutters can exacerbate water pooling on the garage floor. Over time, water seeps into the slab, leading to cracks and settlement. Uneven weight distribution across the slab may eventually result in breakage, necessitating costly replacement.

Furthermore, heavy vehicles exert significant pressure on the ground beneath them as they traverse the slab. In areas lacking adequate support due to poor compaction or erosion, these vehicles can exacerbate sinking and settling issues, causing cracks and unevenness in the garage floor.
