    Concrete deterioration/crumbling at Trench Drain

    I have a garage floor that was newly poured approx 6 months ago. We put a nice trench drain at the rear of the 18' stall.

    Correcting/Leveling Floor Drain slope

    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...
