Concrete Help!

The guys poured a concrete floor on Tuesday 12/4 I went there today and discovered that there is a 1/2" hump in the middle. What is the best way to correct this problem? The room is 16x16 and it looks like the hump covers about a 4x4 area. Thanks!

If it's a reputable concrete company they should know how to fix it and it shouldn't cost you anything.

If not maybe someone with a good deal of experience could grind it down accurately for you. That will cost you though.

Make the installer rip it out and redo the floor, or grind it flat!

Jackhammer!...its only 16 x 16

Diamond grinding will do it, but it will be slow and hard. Easy at first, then slowing down.

Did the grinding work? I am also in the same boat with wave in floor but closer to an inch

I have to believe if they were a reputable company, that wouldn't have happened in the first place. Who was it that said "the same people who create problems are rarely capable of solving them"?

Thanks! That explains why I can't solve my own problems.

I ended up grinding it down myself. I rented a grinder that used stones, worked out great. Thanks to all

Sometimes just taking the bull by the horns is the best approach. Ideally your contractor would have stepped up but I'm glad it worked out. Enjoy your new garage.
