Is your garage flooring starting to look a little worse for wear? If so, then you may be looking into repairs or new flooring. But how do you know what kind of damage is repairable and how to tell if it's time to replace the entire flooring?
In this article, we will share the five signs that your garage flooring is starting to show its age and needs replacement.
The Flooring is Cracked and Chipping
The first sign that your garage flooring needs replacement is if it has cracks and chips. Cracks usually develop over time due to poor installation or damage from heavy objects falling on the floor.
Cracks in the floor are unsightly and can damage the structure underneath if they're not repaired quickly.
The Flooring is Uneven
The second sign that your garage flooring needs replacement is if it is uneven. Uneven garage flooring usually happens due to wear and tear and excess moisture. Uneven flooring can present several problems, including tripping hazards and damage to vehicles.
The Flooring Has Poor Drainage
The third sign that your garage flooring needs replacement is that it has poor drainage. Flooring with drainage issues can encourage mold and mildew growth due to excess moisture.
If melted snow or rainwater is trapped under the garage flooring for long periods, it is a very clear sign that the garage flooring needs to be replaced as soon as possible.
The Flooring Has Areas of Discoloration
The fourth sign that your garage flooring needs replacement is discoloration. Usually, discoloration means that the flooring has suffered damage, whether that be a leak or a spill.
It's important to spot these stains early so they can be cleaned up properly to avoid further damage.
The Flooring is Older Than Twenty Years
Finally, the fifth sign that your garage flooring is starting to show its age is that the flooring is more than twenty years old. In most cases, this is a clear sign to replace the floor as the material is much more prone to cracks and water damage.
