Arghhhh! The driveway is sinking!

Q: Our home is 10 years old. It has a three-car garage (three separate doors) with a very large, flat aggregate driveway leading up to it. When we first bought the house I noticed a few cracks in the driveway and garage floor. They appeared to be small and largely cosmetic in nature. But over the past eight years, the middle of the driveway has been sinking (one or two inches), cracks in the driveway have opened up and the adjacent slabs have started to separate in a vertical and angular manner. The interior garage floor also is slowly sinking at the door openings, leaving noticeable gaps between the garage door bottoms and the floor.

 

Inside the garage there are two large support columns, located in the middle of the floor between each parking space. They support a large beam that spans the garage ceiling and supports the floor of our bonus room above.

As the garage floor has slowly receded, the column bases appear to have punched through the floor itself. Large cracks radiate out from the base of the columns and the floor of the garage now seems to go uphill toward the base from all sides.

The columns have also started to lean toward the garage openings. I estimate the tilt to be approximately 2 to 3 degrees. Both columns remain plumb in the other direction but both are definitely leaning toward the garage entrance. Who should we get to look at or fix the problem? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

A: Normally, residential slabs (garage floors and driveways) do not bear their weight directly on undisturbed soil as do the supports and foundation members. They are poured over fill. The supports have punched through the concrete slab, not because they were rising, but because the slab was settling around them. Until it punched through, the supports were actually holding the center of the slab while the perimeter dropped. The slight tilt to the supports may be because the slab is exerting an uneven pressure on their sides.

It sounds as if the concrete can be broken out and the slab re-poured - after straightening the supports and correcting the poor quality fill and/or drainage problem that initially caused the settling. However, I would absolutely spend the money talking with a structural engineer for specific guidance both before and during the work. Also, speak with the engineer about attaching the slab to the foundation with rebar or other methods to lessen future perimeter drop, improving the fill (compaction methods and amounts), and investigating and correcting damage to the post supports.

More on the sleepless neighbor

More than one reader suggested in response to last week's column on the neighbor losing sleep because of the rock music next door that he call the police. But in addition answering his question about soundproofing, the point of my story was to encourage communication and understanding between neighbors. If the musician knew about his neighbor's honest need for sleep, and the sleeper knew about the noisemaker's honest need to practice for an upcoming heavy metal concert, together they might come to a compromise. Mutual understanding, communication and respect is always superior in my book to a decision imposed by a disinterested third party.
