Garage Floor Slab Question
Greetings:
I bought my house 2 years ago, but it is 30 years old. I have noticed that the lip of the concrete slab of the garage floor (where it meets the ashphalt driveway) is starting to crack and chip. Nothing serious yet, but I'd like to get on top of this ASAP. Any advice on how to stop the damage? Dave |

Lip? My garage floor has no lip, just a smooth transition from concrete to
asphalt. Raise you asphalt to match the garage floor? -B "Dave Gallant" wrote in message om... Greetings: I bought my house 2 years ago, but it is 30 years old.

Perhaps a poor choice of words. The part that comes out of the garage
to meet the asphalt is shaped like a wedge. The floor angles down until it meets the outside driveway. Dave "B" wrote in message .com... Lip?

O.P. needs to provide a better description of the size and kind of chipping & cracking. TB |

I have some underground springs under my driveway and have a problem with the asphalt heaving during the winter to where there is a 1" to 1 1/2" high lip at the joint between the asphalt and concrete apron. My apron does not chip, but the edge of the asphalt does chip off, though. Dave "B" wrote in message .com... Lip? My garage floor has no lip, just a smooth transition from concrete to asphalt.
