The bases of 2 columns in my garage are corroding from salt & snow melt coming of the cars.
The columns are not embedded in the slab, but attached on the slab. I assume footer comes up to slab height.
I want to replace these two columns, but actually raise the base up about an inch or two, to eliminate future corrosion. This is a 2400 square foot 2 story house plus attic, so I'm not just going to throw a concrete block under there to keep the new post off the ground.
I need ideas. Cut floor, expose footer, add rebar and increase height of footer to include this additional 1-2" off the finished slab height?
