I am looking at buying a house and went to view the same one 3 times.

Garage floor heaving in middle.

These premium vinyl garage flooring rolls have it all. Beyond the garage use these stylish coin and diamond patterned rolls in workshops storage sheds industrial settings and more. Natural causes and weather can lead to concrete heaving up in the middle of a slab leaving behind peaks and valleys. It s no wonder they are the number 1 garage flooring roll on the market.

There are several ways you can take care of the high points to create a smooth. Usually there is about a one inch open gap between driveway and slab all the way to the bottom of both but on this home the gap was still filled with that fiber.

The garage floor is cracked down the outside wall all the way to the back about half inch gap and the floor is separated from the walls on the opposite side where the basement is.

Doming slab heave is when the slab is higher in the middle than around the edge. About a 1 2 1 frost heave in the middle of my separated garage. A common cause of heaved concrete is from temperature changes in the base material in an unheated garage especially during the freezing and thawing cycles of the colder months. Slab heave causes damage to internal walls and ceilings.

I see this all the time attached garage newish homes slab is heaving in the center and cracked i have been calling this out because i was saying water is getting between the driveway and the slab freezing and heaving the slab.
