    Need a WATERPROOF garage floor; all suggestions welcome

    Yep. 1987. My dad bought in '92, he drove it for about 4 years then it became his weekend/summer car. It overheated one day, he parked it (outside), and it sat for nearly 4 years. He passed it on to me a little over a year ago and I've been monkeying with it. Fun project. I've never done any...

    I'm wondering if I should remove the 'panels' on the floor. I don't know what they are, or if anything will even adhere to them. But I'm afraid of what I might uncover....

    Well, there are two 'levels' to the cracks; the cracks in the hardboard 'panels' that are on top of the concrete, and then the cracks in the concrete floor itself.

    The garage floor has two slopes to it, can I use a self-leveling concrete? It'll all just run out the doors, right? Would it fill all the hairline cracks? If it's that good, would I have to tile over it? (sorry, lots of questions)

    Thanks for the reply Justin. I'm guessing 'water tight' might be a better way to describe what we need. We're looking for some solution to keep the water from entering the basement. A floor where the water can sit on (water-tight) and then be brushed/squeegeed out (or just left to evaporate)...

    Need a WATERPROOF garage floor; all suggestions welcome

    Go to any parking garage; our basement and garage are built almost identically. There's a poured concrete floor in the basement, cement block walls, and two thick beams that run east/west. The ceiling is poured cement; you can see the wood pattern/graining from the forms when the slab was...

    Here's a challenge! Hi all- I stumbled across this site from a car forum. I need advice for a waterproof garage floor covering. I'll try to keep this brief, but I have a 1939 home that has an attached 2 car garage built like a parking garage; there's a basement underneath the garage. Being in...
