You are planning to resurface the concrete floor of your garage but the threshold isn’t exactly even. There is a gap at one or even both of the corners that lets in air and even small rodents. You are wondering what can be done to correct it. To get started, we contacted Garaga, the largest garage door manufacturer in Canada. They explained what could cause a situation like this and how to correct it, if possible. The most often seen case is linked to the lifting of the exterior drain. This situation is often encountered when garages are located in the basement of a house. Combine a drain that poorly removes water from rain or melting snow with the normal freezing and thawing process, and heaving will occur and you’ll get a drain that pushes up the concrete threshold of the door. It could happen that with the coming and going of your car, or simply by the small amount of concrete that was used, some places on the threshold will be broken. It could happen that the door was poorly installed at the start, and when that was done, the bottom section wasn’t leveled.

Thus, you can find that in one of the two corners of the door, the U-shaped weatherstripping doesn’t touch the threshold. It may also be the case that the garage structure has moved or settled causing this type of situation. The last case we can encounter is where it’s not just one corner of the door that isn’t touching the threshold, but the whole lower section doesn’t adequately touch the threshold and you can easily pass your hand under it. We just covered the ways of correcting your uneven concrete threshold.
