Garage door apron repair.

The apron of your driveway can sometimes sink causing a noticeable difference between your driveway and garage floor. If your driveway apron is in bad shape presenting a danger to pedestrians the local code compliance officer may ask you to have it repaired which may include patching it to the city s. Snap a chalk line parallel to the garage door. Depending on the type of issue and progression different solutions are available.

We decided that we could repair any of the aprons in the project that needed to be repaired using cerlon. Make sure it s out far enough to include all the settled asphalt. Thorough clean up of construction area. If sinkholes are present the entire apron may need to be removed foundation filled and base material raised.

Our sunken apron repair service will bring the asphalt back to the level of the concrete garage floor. We snapped a line half the width of the garage door thickness. Another approach to fixing a sunken driveway is to make an apron from paving brick. Cut out asphalt in a straight line across the full width of driveway approximately 2 3 feet out as needed from the garage door.

The aprons are 18 wide by the length of the door. In this case the soil would need to be dug up and replaced. We then installed a diamond masonry cutting blade on a skilsaw and cut a deep cut along the chalk line. It could be that the soil compaction was not consistent.
