Pitted and alligator cracks!

[Borntorun04/17]

Looking at getting some Race Deck tiles for garage floor. As title says floor is pitted and has some alligator crack ( no heaving up or anything just fine cracks ).Floor has one spot that is low and puddles when I wash out garage. Thinking using floor leveling for low spot. Should I get some type of material to fill in pitted area before doing tile? My first thought is if I fill in pitted and cracked there will be less chance for Debris / dirt / salt to caught in. What material would members here suggest?

I'm not sure what to tell you. Maybe someone here would have a suggestion if you supplied some pictures of the damage. That said, I am a huge fan of RaceDeck. My Free Flow tiles are 5 years old and I regret nothing about their purchase. CJDave.

I might try to get pictures when wife’s SUV is out of garage a car in winter storage is on other side. I thought I read somewhere about something called Feather or something like that. I will be asking this question at a contractor supply place or brick, stone , concrete. Thanks for replying and mentioning pictures . Pitting is really just a cosmetic thing. That’s why I was thinking some type of skim coating.

I'm not trying to hi-jack this thread, but it is possible I also have alligator cracks. this floor was poured just 30 days ago.

Is this a serious problem?
Will it lead to spalling in the future?

You have what is called surface crazing, which is basically shrinkage cracks in the paste on the surface of the concrete. It is not uncommon, doesn't usually get worse or lead to additional problems. It can be indicative of a higher than optimal slump during placement or poorly managed bleed water but neither is usually fatal.

Thanx LLWillysfan

The concrete company owners came by last week to look it over. The said essentially the same thing you did above. They felt a contributory factor may have been the 10 MIL vapor barrier I paid and the 2" insulation: the water in the pour could not leave the pour by going down.
