How To Fix a Cracked Garage Floor

Concrete cracks are generally no surprise to homeowners; they can be found anywhere, but that doesn’t mean they should go unrepaired.

In a previous article, we addressed the best way to level a driveway.

In this article, we’re going to tackle how to fix a cracked garage floor.

You have several options, but we will simplify the process for you. Let’s jump right in.

How Do You Fix A Cracked Garage Floor?

Many people turn to quick and easy DIY fixes like filling or sealing garage floor cracks with caulk or similar materials. This only covers up the appearance of the cracks and does nothing to fix the source of the problem.

Other popular methods—especially if the cracks accompany uneven concrete—include mudjacking and applying self-leveling concrete. These techniques share the same fate: they’re only temporary and can be costly and disruptive.

Don’t settle for a quick fix or waste your time and money on something that doesn’t work. The key to addressing concrete problems is investing in a lasting solution customized to meet your needs.

Concrete lifting with polyurethane foam injections is the best way to fix a cracked garage floor. The lightweight yet durable foam offers targeted lifting, stabilization, and protection where your garage floor needs it the most. After professionals install the quick-settling foam, they fill and seal any cosmetic cracks, holes, and joints for ongoing defense.

When Should I Worry About Cracks In My Garage Floor?

While cracks commonly develop in a garage floor after the cement is first poured and goes through its necessary curing process, that’s where the cracks should stop. They should not continue or spawn other problems.

Dave Syz, the inspector is very professional and compassionate. We have been in this house not even a year and having to deal with leaking into the walls of a beautifully finished basement, albeit a finishing scam, is a harrowing experience. Dave alleviated many concerns and answered every question I had, and some I didn't. He is an asset to his company and I look forward to finishing the job with these guys/gals.

Very friendly when I called in. Scheduled fee estimate although I wasn’t sure they did what I needed. Even Eakle showed up at scheduled time. Immediately realized I didn’t currently need their services. I showed him what my problem was, and he actually with the use of one little tool fixed my problem perfectly on all five window wells. He was such a friendly guy great customer service. I would highly highly recommend using them if you would ever need waterproofing cement, leveling, or any other other other services I would definitely give them a call. I believe he is out of the Kent office. I’m not sure he did have a 216 area code exchange, he did a fabulous job if I ever need any waterproofing or here of anybody that needs it I would definitely tell him to call these people
