As a side, I did treat my floor with v-seal which is a densifier about a week after pouring in hopes of preventing some of this sort of thing.

I have a 4 month old garage floor, that has just been through its first winter. At the control joints, I would see effloresence accumulate due to the moisture/salt brought in from vehicles. I was somewhat diligent about sweeping the accumulation, and sometimes hosing it off. I recently examined...

Sorry everyone, I meant CONTROL joints.

I would like to entertain opinions on those in the know on this idea. I do not plan on epoxy'ing the surace of the garage and will likely keep it raw concrete although I have treated it with a densifier/hardiner. I am curious as to the viability of filling the expansion joints with an epoxy...

History of the situation: Initial Floor: General Contractor (of the house) set the floor drain height, concrete company poured the floor with the given floor drain height, which led to a rediculous slope for the centralized drains (one per stall). To find a flat spot to do any work was...

Had a new house built this year. 930 sq ft garage. Original floor (about 1 year old) was just removed and repoured due to unacceptable drain slope. Original floor had vapor barrier installed, however when repouring yesterday vapor barrier was OMITTED. I am of course now concerned. It was the...

As far a slope is concered, Over 11 feet (from wall to drain), the drop is 6.5 - 7 inches, and it is not even uniform at that, close to the drain in the middle of the door, the slope is about 3/4" per foot, like I said, it is way way way over done, trying to find a flat spot to do any work is...

Long story short, when my new house was built the grade on the garage floor for drainage was way way over done and is the most reduculous slope ive ever seen, So we will be removing (jackhammer) the existing floor and doing a repour. The floor was poured seperately from the foundation but I...

Curious to know if anyone knows of a wide but not deep (maybe 12" deep), hanging tool closet. Most garage enclosures/cabinets I find are 18 to 24" deep. I would like a place to hang brooms, shovels, rakes, etc that is enclosed for increases tidyness ;)

I measured the Slope today on the floor and at the top it is approx 1/2" or 9/16" grade/foot, and by the bottom near the drain it is about 3/4" inch per foot of grade.

In my newly poured concrete garage floor, I have two garage drains, however in my opinion they got a bit carried away with the amount of slope. It also is not the most linear slope, maybe a bit convex. In short, it makes walking across the garage and getting in and out of vehicles uncomfortable...
