Kliz81 asked:


We don’t have the money to go through and cut out the entire garage floor and replace it. The garage floor has cracked and heaved in some places, and some places the concrete was never there.

My idea was to cut or bash out the areas that have heaved higher, and then overlay with a new concrete.

Would this work? Is there a better solution? The house and garage are both very old. Looking for something that would not be expensive and make the garage more usable.

    First thing you need to do is find the cause of the cracking or any repair you make will just crack again. If it cracked just because it’s old, it might not be too bad of a fix. Or it might be tree roots or something that’s causing the damage. You might be able to tear up the old floor, pour a slab and then put a new floor down.
