I have a new garage floor that has low spots that won’t drain the rain or snow melt from our cars. The worst spots are right where we open the doors. These areas are about 1/4 to 3/8″ low and roughly 4′ x 5′. It is almost as if the contractor planned it. He is no help either. Any suggestions other than breaking the floor out and putting in a new one.
Thanks

Buy a floor squeegee???
*How about using some of that epoxy paint. Put 2 or three coats only in the low spots, and then coat the whole floor. It's pricey stuff but cheaper than a new floor.
*There are contractors who raise and level concrete with hydraulic pressure if its broken. Otherwise fill inlow spots like other guy said.
