Check with your local codes. In May neck of the woods a floor drain in a garage is not allowed. Reason is oils dripping off car with snow melt water etc getting onto soil An alternative I used on jobs is a floor drain/Trough with no outlet in it to contain oils etc but can't leach into ground. Bent that code and was approved. So check on Local Building codes in your Geo before you out one and an inspector makes you tear it out. |

Hi, Our garage floor is concrete slab, and is in rather poor condition, i.e. the slab is chipping. Are there any materials that can be put over the floor to relevel it without having to repour the concrete. My main reason for asking this is that an epoxy or polyurethane coating over the...
