My garage/shop floor ("machined" concrete finish) puddles, runs towards the house, doesn't run towards the garage door. Not much of an issue except this time of year when the cars come in all slushy and make a huge mess. This is a fairly recent pour but no option of a redo by contractor. Is it possible to level it or even slope it a little with an epoxy top coat? Or any other possible fixes short of a total redo?

Hi
We get calls about this not infrequently. Unfortunately not easy to fix but a solution would be to put in 'Ribbed' mats like our Armorcover Mats. The ribs then to keep the slush/water in the channels and it evaporates out. If the slope is really bad possible the ribs could channel the water towards your house but we have not ever seen that.
