maddmaxx ★ Posted January 8, 2017 Share #4 Posted January 8, 2017 Good thing you don't live in CT. Thousands of houses here are having a problem with "bad" concrete from the 70's. The state is involved in trying to restore home values. People are looking at 100k to fix 1 house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around here in the '80s building with decorative cement blocks was all the fad. Basically they were fancy looking cinder blocks that absorbed moisture and cracked when they got cold. They became a maintenance nightmare trying (often unsuccessfully) to keep them sealed from the elements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One company only. The problem is so large though that no single homeowner can afford a fix and the property values affect all. Here is a case where socialism will come to the rescue in an otherwise capitalistic system. We will all foot the bill somehow. You literally have to lift the house, blow out the basement and start over with new concrete and set the house back down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be tons of experience and geared up companies from Sandy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think when the government finally starts handing over money things might get going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further Posted January 8, 2017 Share #14 Posted January 8, 2017 Is the garage heated? You may want to think about an insulating layer under the vinyl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc2000 Posted January 9, 2017 Share #15 Posted January 9, 2017 it looks like your floor is about ready to pancake onto the garage floor. I wonder if they bothered to put any rebar into that concrete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
