Hi all,
I'm a new homeowner and dealing with my first major issue. My patio in the back looks as if it has settled at some point and is now sloped in slightly towards the house. Obviously this is bad news. I am planning to install a french drain on the edges of the patio away from the house, but how can I fix the backwards slope?
In the attached pictures, you can see the black line along the base of the house that shows the amount of settling that has occurred.
I don't really have a ton of money to spend on this (spend a bunch on the house) so I'm looking for a affordable solution. I know I could jackhammer it all up and re-lay it, but that seems like a lot (plus I'm not confident in my concrete laying yet). I've had others suggest self-leveling cement, or putting down a paver base and then some sort of cloth and then pavers on top?
I'm kind of clueless with this. Any help would be appreciated beyond words.
Thanks
