Concrete Driveway Higher Than Garage Floor

Almost every garage 2 car width in our neighborhood has its cement pad at a level that s significantly higher than the asphalt of the driveway.

Concrete driveway higher than garage floor.

The dip is located very close to the garage entrance. Use 16mm 3 4 round bar and drill 300mm 12 into existing garage slab at 900mm 3 intervals 100mm 4 down from top of concrete cut the round bars into 600mm 2 lengths grease with any kind of grease half the length of rod and then whooops beer time have a coldy then clean out holes and push greasy end into holes. The straight line gaps between the slabs has enlarged and some cracks are as wide as 2 inches. Between my garage floor my driveway there is a gap of almost an inch wide probably an inch deep.

Your garage floor is usually part of. Is it feasible to cut out a 1 or so of the driveway next to the garage and redo it so it s lower. My concrete driveway has eight large slabs. If the garage slab had sunk not likely you d more than likely have cracks and the slab wouldn t be level.

For example if your garage floor is 100 away from the street for water to flow to the street the garage floor must be at least 10 higher than the edge of the road or street that you are paving to. It works for us but there is no guarantee if a really hard rain occurs. Probably the most important aspect of any asphalt paver or concrete driveway. I want to fill it in because it catches leaves dirt etc any suggestions of what to use to fill gap.

I guess rainwater hasn t been an issue or you would have noticed it sooner. The floor of your garage and your driveway are typically poured at different times in the construction process. Place concrete at a minimum thickness of 4 inches. In our case the asphalt runs up to the garage pad but aims at a level at least 3 shy of the floor surface of the cement pad.

Our garage floor is also lower than the approaching driveway. Thickness is the major factor even more than the strength of the concrete in determining a driveway s structural capacity. The driveway slopes down from my garage to the street. Increasing the thickness from 4 inches to 5 inches will add approximately 20 to your concrete cost but will also boost your driveway s load carrying capacity nearly 50.
