jnovlan Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I am throwing this topic out with the 'hope' that someone out there in the Flyfishing Community has some experience with or knows someone I could contact regarding the replacement of a cement floor in an unattached garage. It is so badly cracked and uneven that it is far removed from a cosmetic cure! It was poorly built (no rebar-- only 4 inch wire). In my opinion-- the best would be to raise the garage and repour the foundation and floor. The garage is still in very good shape-- so I do not wish to tear it down and rebuild unless that is a last resort. Please email me or post if you have a suggestion or contact that could make this problem go away!! Thanks you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castuserraticus Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 You should be able to remove the floor slab without disturbing the foundation. They are not generally poured together. The foundation will predate the slab. A cracked foundation may be another matter if it's moved too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnovlan Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, this pad was a single pour with the perimeter foundation being a bit thicker than the pad. Thus, when the pad cracked it continued under the walls -- and is also affected by cracks and heaving. I have just had Abalon Foundation (previous suggestion) repair come and have a look. Their estimated does not involve lifting or building a separate foundation-- but replacing the pad and supporting and reinforcing the 'under the walls cement' portion with bricks tied into the cement. Not being a cement man-- I may not have a clear picture. May look for a further estimate. Any other recommentations out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
