Garage concrete failing beneath my feet
Hey everyone,
I’m looking for advice on fixing my garage floor. I live in Canada, so we get harsh winters with freeze/thaw cycles. My garage floor is basically disintegrating, it’s got gravel potholes and exposed rebar. I use it in the winter to park my car, and in the summer, it’s my workshop space where I do mechanic work, so I need a smooth surface (especially to run a jack across).
I don’t have the budget to pour a whole new slab, but I’m hoping for something a bit more than just a temporary fix. What I’m wondering is, other then pouring a new slab what could I do? If it’s economical can I just pour 2 inches on top so have a new top coat? I’d really appreciate any suggestions from folks with experience.
I did have water issues (in the spring the thaw water would run down the driveway into the garage). I’m adding a grate drain in front and French drains to each side to combat the water issues.
