Garage Floor Replacement: Recognize the Signs You Need a Cement Contractor
How do you know when it’s time to have us look at your garage? There are several telltale signs that reveal the true structural health of your concrete.
If the damage is minimal, we can usually buy you some time by repairing the surface. However, if the damage threatens your garage foundation, we highly recommend a full replacement.
In either case, here are the main signs we look for when we inspect garage floors across Metro Detroit:
-
Extensive and Severe Cracking: This includes numerous cracks wider than 1/4 inch that go completely through the concrete slab, or a spiderweb network of cracks across a large area.
-
Unevenness or Sinking: If your floor slopes or has sunken sections, the soil beneath the slab likely has major shifting problems that could eventually affect your overall garage foundation.
-
Widespread Crumbling & Deterioration: Deep cracking and flaking concrete mean your surface is breaking down structurally, and a simple patching job will only be a temporary fix.
-
Issues Return After Repairs: If you've had to repair cracks more than once, you have a much deeper structural problem. It's best to address these repeat issues with a qualified contractor who truly understands garage floors.
Whether we are repairing or replacing your concrete, we pay close attention to keeping everything perfectly square, level, and sound.
Our team also emphasizes creating a slight pitch from back to front to allow for proper drainage. As your expert cement contractor, we know that proper drainage prevents water from pooling on your garage floors.
This correct slope stops standing water from seeping into the concrete. Ultimately, this prevents future cracks, rapid surface deterioration, and costly long-term damage to your garage foundation.
Replacing Concrete Garage Floors in Attached Garages: Our Expert Solution
If the floor in your attached garage is failing, we can replace it with new concrete. In our experience, attached garages in Metro Detroit often sink and collapse because they’re located near the home’s foundation. We warn area homeowners that the earth near their home’s foundation often settles. When this happens, the garage floor will have no underground support, and we get called to restore the garage floor.
At D&G Cement Company, we typically fix these issues by removing the old concrete. From there, we fill a new gravel base, followed by thorough compaction near the foundation. We then install a vapor barrier to prevent moisture from passing through. When all this is done, we pour the concrete using fiber mesh reinforcement. Our comprehensive garage floor replacements fix the problem and leave you with a durable, lasting solution for years to come.
Replacing a Concrete Floor in a Detached Garage: Our Proven Process
If you have a detached garage with a failing floor and a shifting garage structure, we can help. Thanks to our extensive expertise, we understand the problem here. It’s a sign of a foundation issue, which we can fix. Our expert solutions often begin with us cutting out and removing your existing garage floor. We then replace it, leaving the floor underneath the walls of your garage.
If your garage structure is good, but the floor and foundation are the problem, we have a solution. Our team can carefully lift your garage structure and make sure it is vertically straight. At this point, we remove the floor and strengthen and stabilize your existing foundation. Once this is done, we pour and level your new garage floor. It’s a process, but we know it’s the best way to replace a badly damaged floor in a detached garage.
