Have you gotten a little too used to your uneven garage floor? You shouldn’t wait any longer to level it out! This is your sign from Arise Concrete Leveling in Wichita, KS, to contact us about making your garage floor even once again.
#1 It Causes Puddling
The most obvious reason is the water pooling right where you need to walk. A garage floor with dented areas enables water to puddle. When you reach for the garden hose or prepare to power-wash the garage, you think twice about where you aim the nozzle.
The puddles don’t just make you think harder about where to step; they can also allow excess moisture to evaporate into your garage which is a recipe for a mold infestation.
#2 It Can Affect the Rest of the Floor
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link, right? This adage also applies to concrete. When one area weakens, it drags the rest of the square footage down.
Eventually, you’ll notice the structural integrity across the rest of the floor wither. That one dip becomes a big crater. The cracks surrounding the crater expand to otherwise pristine flooring. The vicious cycle continues to damage the whole floor unless you fix it.
#3 It Decreases Property Value
An uneven garage floor also makes your property less appealing to potential buyers. If you plan to put your home or business on the market within the next year, you should consider leveling garage floors.
Quality buyers look for functional, safe properties that they won’t have to fix as soon as they purchase them. Assuming the damage hasn’t reached the foundation, a concrete leveling service can offer a fairly quick and painless remedy. That brings us to the next point.
#4 It Can Damage Your Foundation
Water flows with gravity, often moving through the path with the least resistance. So, when water pools in a concrete divot, it can eventually trickle downward. It may expand to other areas of the concrete floor, completely altering the original slab settlement. You may need to pull up all the damaged concrete and re-pour it.
Otherwise, it may reach your building’s foundation. The foundation may sink to one side, taking the building with it. Foundation repair is incredibly costly and often requires other structural repair services to correct the building’s alignment.
#5 It Risks Your Safety
Even if you can ignore unsightly dips, don’t mind getting your shoes wet, or don’t think the damage has moved too far downward, you can’t risk your safety by allowing the uneven surface to remain. Remember the puddling issue?
Well, wet concrete has less traction so someone could slip and break a bone. If you invite a friend or family member to your home and they are unfamiliar with the trip hazards populating the basement, they could face-plant into the garage floor from their toe catching on a loose piece of concrete.
