How to use self leveling concrete overlay to fix a badly damaged concrete floor.
We're using Sakrete Fast Setting Self Leveling concrete mix to fix this concrete floor.
It was really out of level and we needed to level it to install a stamped concrete floor over it.
This self leveler went down from 1/8" thick to 1 inch thick.
It was very easy to mix, place, and level.
Sakrete has and excellent self leveler here, I would recommend it to anyone.

"Self leveler self levels itself" is the best quote from this video :)

Proven again! How a master tradesman can make a complex procedure look so simple, and there lies the danger for D.I.Y'ers! An amazing job! There was a lot of technical know-how going on here. :oops::oops::oops:
-
You’re a Master concrete specialist!!! Fantastic procedure. I will definitely follow your instructions. Thanks!
-
I took a drink of beer every time he said level. Ten minutes in and I'm done.
-
Wow, very tedious, but you guys just knock ‘em out, you guys might just be the very best,looking forward to the next vid.

Slick trick on an unlevel surface with the screws. I am doing self levelling over a rough surface concrete Patio as a base for laying stone.

I was renovating Ikea bathrooms with my buddies and we used self leveling concrete for the floors because we ripped out the old tiles and took some of the concrete with them. We had the tile guys coming in two days and they were suoer happy with the result. Very simple easy job and this a great idea to make a old garage floor have some youth into it again.

Great content Mike. Being in the flooring business for 20 years now I have used alot of self leveling. My only recommendation I would say and you already said it. Use the primer every time. Keep up the good work. 👍
-
You’re the best in the business! I wish you worked in my area.
-
I've used a couple of the self leveling products. Great to have the three of you to work together on this with two mixing and you moving it around. That stuff can set up pretty quickly! It's not cheap, but it is WAY more cost effective than the alternative: Breaking up the old floor and pouring a new one.
-
Quickrete has a self leveler now that comes in a 5 gal drywall bucket pretty handy
-
I would like to see a follow-up in a year. The floor appears to have a lot of existing cracks. I expect those to all telegraph through your new finish floor. Good luck!
-
Excellent video. Much thanks!
-
Excellent video. thank you for all the great content here !! Anyone looking to self level a floor should watch this.
-
I'm very impressed by your skill and expertise. Well done.
-
It looks good, I feel like you need to be patience and let the mix do its job floor looks good after. Great job !! Good video. Take care thanks 😊

My experiences with this stuff have been excellent. Early on, I found that you MUST mix it to a loose, pourable consistency....don't worry about it being too thin. If it's too thick, it won't flow and level. You must seal ALL edges and openings through which the leveler can seep out. not only will it make a divot in the final job, it may damage something down below. Finally, this stuff "cures" rather than "dries." So, as soon as you mix it, it wants to start hardening up. Pour it, spread it, level it and MOVE ON! It's great for leveling bathroom floors, too!

Love watching these videos. Maybe I can do this in my basement. My town has had at least two 100 year floods in the last 50 yrs before they fixed the river flow. My 104 yr old house has several rooms in the basement where the concrete has failed and is all broken up or cracked... something I discovered only after removing the false floors. I just want to get all the debris removed and get some respectable concrete floors in. This would work short of pouring all new thick floors.
-
Very nice job. Look forward to the stamp finish.

If you have an indoor laser level you can wrap tape around the drill n mark a line on it , whenever the laser is on that line you know the end of your bit is grade. Time is money. 💪🏼
