Re: [BlindHandyMan] Making an omlette without cracking the slab?
You Don't have to replace the floor unless it's a hazard. You might want to fill the crack, though. You should use a flexible concrete crack filler. A self-leveling, flexible crack filler would be best. The best one that I know of is called SL1 and is available through concrete or masonry suppliers. It comes in standard and extra large caulk gun tubes. It might take several applications to completely get the cracked filled since it is free flowing and will settle. If the crack is extra large, or goes under the slab, you might need to partially fill the crack with foam backer rod. Good luck. - Original Message - From: tunecollector To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, February 02, 2007 10:28 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Making an omlette without cracking the slab? The garage floor has a crack that runs the length of the garage.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Making an omlette without cracking the slab?
I agree with others. No reason to tear up your floor. Patch the crack. The reinforcing steel in the slab should keep it from getting real wide.

Heck I have cracks in my garage floor and driveway and they are hardly a year old. They did a wonderful job.
