i have a double garage floor (concrete) that has risen and deformed.?

Question

what is the fix for this and roughly how much does it cost?

Answer 1

Are you sure the floor has risen? In most cases, concrete floors slabs will sink, not rise. A proper garage floor pour, will include some good sized 'tubes' of concrete to be poured under the floor, to below frost line, for added support of the floor, with a vehicle.

Sinking floors and foundations can be fixed. Look for a company that does "mud jacking" in your area. They can cut into the concrete, install some special equipment, and then pump a concrete slurry under the existing concrete, and bring it back up to level. This is usually cheaper (and easier) than trying to bust up a whole floor to replace it with new, hehehe.

I just did a yahoo search for 'mud jack' and this one was at the top.... http://www.wemudjack.com/
check the mudjack tab on the left side... theyve got a good illustration there of the process and before/after pics.

Good Luck :)

This is a very hard question to answer without some specific information. The best bet is to contact a contrete contractor and ask for an estimate. Most of the reliable ones will do an estimate for free. Be prepared to pay in the neighborhood of $15 per square foot to have the old concrete removed and a new floor poured.

Answer 3

there is a company that lifts the floor with a unit
