Doris, great question, call my office for a number I have for you. His name is Ricky Brennan with DNR Painting Ricky is finishing up a garage floor in Cromwell circle in Davenport. He would be more than happy to give you an estimate. Ricky uses an acid etch to get the concrete roughed, and then uses a citric acid as well to level it off again. Then he pours the Latex or Epoxy floor. Depends on how long of a warranty you want. He can’t get the lead based floor paint anymore, that stuff would last 50+ years. Don’t drive on it for about 5-7 days, you really want it to cure. Thanks for the question. Very yours truly, Andy Love Ask the Expert

I have a garage that is beginning to lean, I think beacuse the slab is sinking. Can mudjacking level the garage?

Dennis, the garage could be leaning for a number of reasons. If you don\’t have a 4\’ footing running aroung the outside perimeter of the garage, and the garage is over 800 square feet the weight of the snow and roofing materials could be sinking the side. You could also have a water run off that is the culprit. Mid America Basements, and Todd\’s Mudjacking could give you a diagnosis. Mid America basements has a technique they use where that drill a footing down 4\’ and use a jack to lift the garage back into place. Works great with houses, I don\’t see why it wouldn\’t work with your garage. I will forward on your info to the two companies with your permission.Thanks for the question,Andy LoveAsk the Expert
