Default Garage floor crack fix
So after a few winters I figure it's time I get a proper fix...

Garage pad has a crack that's 2 feet in and parallel to the door. This is causing all snow melt and rain from the cars to drain towards the man door. Noticed a bit of mold and warping on some trim pieces.

Any suggestions/companies for a fix? Mud jacking? Self levelling concrete?

Garage is pretty standard detached 2 car in Calgary.

I think the cheapest will probably be some Mapei Mapecem Premix. Bonds well, finishes nice, and you can do it yourself, you mix one bag at a time. I think it will do 3" to a feather edge.

I would go with an injected epoxy fill. should be plenty of coatings specialists in your area.

Check with National Concrete Accessories or Unicom Concrete Specialties. They should be able to direct a product for you to use and have the supplies in stock

If you're looking for a DIY option I'd go to hard rock developments and ask them, they have all kinds of products available now days.

If you're going the DIY route check Northland Construction Supplies, they supply the concrete industry and will have the products you'll need.

Thanks for all the leads everyone. Got some work ahead of me.

Aside from the YouTube videos anyone got any resources for the DIY route?
