Gap Between Apron and Garage Floor

Vehicle Scraping
Low clearance vehicles scrape bumpers when entering or exiting garage
Water Pooling at Garage Door
Negative slope directs water toward garage instead of away from it
Uneven Surface
One side of apron lower than the other, creating trip hazard
Cracking at Connection Points
Stress cracks where apron meets driveway or garage floor
Why Garage Aprons Sink
Understanding the cause ensures proper repair that lasts
Poor Original Subbase
Soil not compacted properly during initial installation. Over time, natural settling creates voids beneath the slab.
Water Erosion
Poor drainage allows water to flow under the apron, washing away soil and aggregate base material.
Organic Decomposition
Tree roots, buried debris, or organic fill material decomposes over time, creating voids.
Freeze-Thaw Heaving
Water beneath the slab freezes and expands, then settles unevenly when thawing.
