Same question for the garage slab at the intersection with the driveway.
Driveway higher than garage floor grind.
Is grinding the end of a driveway a diy job or should i hire out.
I have seen some entrances ground down to the street level but i can not seem to find anything online.
When we went from a gravel to a concrete driveway to divert rainwater we added a dip about 2 deep for the width of the driveway and about 10 long.
Fyi having a wash machine in the garage is probably more or less exclusive to the deep south.
Lower than your garage floor it s time to fix it.
The dip is located very close to the garage entrance.
I would assume that the garage slab is higher than the lawn otherwise if the lawn slope towards the street is not much water could enter the garage.
It works for us but there is no guarantee if a really hard rain occurs.
I reciently built a handicap accessable house.
Adjacent to the garage is another location where steep slopes should be lessened.
Where slopes are steeper than 12 percent or vehicles are low to the ground a transition zone may be necessary.
This is not a helpful trait to have when grinding concrete especially when you are removing glue that is tough to get off the floor.
It s normal for asphalt driveways to sink a bit over time.
The entrance of my driveway is about 2 from the street and is annoying to drive on every day.
A durable fix for a sinking driveway apron.
Can anyone give me some advice on the best way to create a slope to fix this problem.
At the beginning of the job i was taking my time and getting all the glue off in one pass.
The driveway garage floor interface is a potential entry point for moisture to the foundation if the concrete cracks or the two concrete structures pull apart.
The floor of your garage and your driveway are typically poured at different times in the construction process.
Your garage floor is usually part of.
But when your driveway repair has sunk to the point where it s 4 or 5 in.
Hi our garage is about 2 inches higher than the driveway so every time we back out of it the front bumper of the car scrapes the garage floor.
Then the garage slab slopes to the big garage door maybe 2 5.
Is the new driveway higher than the adjacent lawn at its intersection with the garage.
Our garage floor is also lower than the approaching driveway.
Slopes are moderated to a less steep slope for a few feet in a transition zone.
At this point the garage slab is 3 8 below the main house floor.
If you don t water will pool in the depression seep into the soil below and eventually destroy the driveway.
Check local building regulations for specific requirements that.
As the night went on i wanted to finish up and began to go a bit faster than i probably should have.
A critical transition is where the driveway crosses a public sidewalk.
Entry to the house from the garage is at the back of the house.
