I recently had a foundation repair crew lift a corner of my slab about 0.5". In the process, they somehow cracked my garabe slab (spiderweb cracks). They’re denying responsibility and their engineer said it was nothing to worry about. Is there anything I should do now? Otherwise, I plan to wait for Spring after seeing if winter affects it.
Concrete cracks. As long as it’s not moving more I wouldn’t worry about it.
You sound like you’d want a garage floor sealant to hide imperfections. I don’t think I would have even fixed a slab that was off-level by only a 1/2”
I’d say not only is that not worth fixing, but to have the front 1/2" lower than the back would be ideal to get rain and melted ice to flow out of the garage rather than pooling. That assumes it isn’t below the driveway, though, because in that case it wouldn’t do any good (and if you have a heated garage will lead to your garage door freezing to the floor… ask how I know).
It was off by more than an inch. They adjusted it up about 1/2" to get it back within accepted levels.
We’re thinking about selling the house, so I don’t want to draw attention to the cracks, but I also don’t want them torpedoing a sale
Check out 10 other garages of homes for sale in your area and I bet more than half have cracks.
