We are buying a new home. Some previous owner had an addition put on the back of the home. It appears that it was build on a previously existing cement slab. The floor has a 6" slant! I want to have this fixed but am unsure of the cost I will be looking at here. Any ideas!??
Length and width of slab might help someone who works concrete (I did as a teenager 50 years ago), (Have had two slabs poured in the last 10 years here, but don't remember the numbers...).
6" slant? In 40 feet, not an issue, in 8 feet maybe an issue.
It is a new home? Was a building permit pulled to do it?
Is it cracked, sinking, etc? You want the old one dug up and a new one replaced?
That's what you need to know when you find a current concrete guy.
Can't remember, it was 14 years ago I fixed my problem.
...but it is so not a big deal...ask a Home Depot guy in the Floor Dept
how many bags of Floor Leveler you'll need ...he will calculate it.
Concrete, cement, grout, leveling a floor is not rocket science.
Wanna give us dimensions?
It wouldn't be $20k if you were talking about a double garage or pouring a driveway....there are ways....
around things...
In the demo above, replace a 5 gallon bucket with a deep wheel barrow...

The slope would be the dead giveaway- that's the good news!
The rest of it, is all bad news. Patios are nothing more than a slab of concrete; they're not made to support structure. So, technically the correct answer/question is- how much will it cost to remove the poorly designed/non-permitted addition and rebuild the addition correctly?
Where is the property located- would be a good start!
It's about 25 feet by 15 feet. It was a patio slab that was enclosed. Fixing that floor going to be tough? Expensive? I hope not!
