Garage floor sinking at the apron? Dit is wie je moet bellen
A garage floor that dips or settles where it meets the driveway apron creates a visible lip, a trip hazard, and a gap that lets water, leaves, and pests enter the garage. The apron area is especially vulnerable because it sits on fill soil that compacts over time, receives repeated heavy vehicle loads, and endures more freeze-thaw cycles than the protected interior slab. Once a gap opens, water infiltrates beneath the slab and accelerates erosion of the sub-base, making the settlement progressively worse. A concrete mason can assess whether the slab can be raised through mudjacking or polyurethane foam injection, or whether the section needs to be removed and re-poured on a properly compacted base with adequate reinforcement.
