The slab for my garage looks like it wasn't finished right. Take a

You can see a lip that extends beyond the face of the slab. I'm about
to cut off the rotten siding and replace it. But it's clear that one
reason it rotted is because water would hit this lip and bounce back
onto the siding.

What's the best way to remove this lip without damaging the face? You
can see in the 2nd image that it looks like the face has been knocked
away past where it should have been. I want to avoid doing that
myself.

I was thinking a cold chisel and a sledge, but I've never done
anything like this.

thx


My first thought was yours--a cold chisel and mallot. A saw/blade
combination made specifically for concrete will work too, but this
will produce a messy cloud of dust. Just remove what is absolutely
necessary to improve drainage.
