Floor Sloping
Floor sloping could result from several issues, or it could be a design feature to accomplish some goal, such as drainage. At Ottawa Concrete Repair, we’ve helped many homeowners understand why their floor is sloping and the best way to deal with it.
Why Do Floors Slope?
Getting to the root of the problem and addressing it is the first step in fixing a sloping floor. Your floor could be sloping from some underlying issue, such as:
Also, floor sloping could be an engineering choice, as in channelling spills to a drain. In this case, too, our team can help you find a way to create a flat floor.
After the floor is stabilized and there is no danger of continued sloping, we can go about correcting the slope. We at Ottawa Concrete Repairs can do this in two ways:
- Poor installation
- Weaknesses in the sub-base
- Frost heave
- Moisture damage
- Freezing/thawing damage
Self-Levelling Concrete
This product is a more fluid concrete that readily flattens itself. Self-levelling concrete is a perfect option for dips and slopes that doesn’t raise the level of the floor.
Concrete Floor Grinding
Our team can use a powerful industrial grinder to wear down high spots on your floor. This can help take down a slope and get your floor flat.
