Charles46 Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 I can use your help and experience on this one. Was wondering why someone would have placed a layer of concrete over the slab under this rear entrance door.

Garet Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 An overview picture would help. My first impression is that an addition was constructed on top of an older slab, and this was an easy way to fill in under a door that didn't fit quite right.

John Kogel Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 A concrete curb keeps the water out. It could use some grout or caulking. We don't know what's behind that door, so more info would help. Slab floor, basement, age of home, ht of floor inside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles46 Posted September 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Slab floor, 20 year old home, 4" floor height from slab. The door goes from the patio to the kitchen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausdok Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 It might have been an addition added over an old patio. The patio was sloped to drain. When they built on top of it they had to add another layer of concrete to level it up and bring it level with the rest of the floors. When you take pictures of somethiing you'd like folks to evaluate, take establishing shots from far enough back to show what we're looking on. Straight on and then left and right and the move in and take detail shots of the area you want to focus on. That enables us to see what you are talking about in the setting it's in.
