Floor Problem

12 years ago

I have an issue where my garage floor was evidently poured wrong years ago or I am getting some heaving, nevertheless, water is draining in from the door instead of out. One side appears to be 1/2inch high.

Never did any cement grinding, but am getting tired of water in the garage after rain. Suggestions?

1. Have a new floor poured (Ouch)
2. Have a drain installed at the low point and/or around where the water enters.

Randy427,
Thanks but I would rather just cut out the offending portion since it is not that big or grind it down so water flows away from garage rather that in on one corner. Any suggestions regarding grinding a small section is appreciated.
