I have a problem. My house and driveway is lower than the street level. Usually, when this is the case, they will build a slight rise or berm into the driveway near the street, to keep the street water out. Unfortunately, there is no berm, and when there are heavy rains, I get a lot of street water. I have determined that if I built a berm only 3" high, it would prevent the majority of the street water from entering. So my question is this: Can I build a berm out of concrete directly over my existing driveway? Would it stick, would it break off? Any tips on how to do this so that it lasts? It would very much resemble a speed bump, same proportions.
Thanks, Thomas |

go look at the Sakrete website.
Concrete Glue http://www.sakrete.com/products/product.aspx?ID=ConcreteGlue Concrete Patch and repair for thin applications http://www.sakrete.com/products/product.as...ConcretePatcher There are quite a few new chemical bonding agents also...go search for "Portland Cement" and also go find your local stone yard that sells stone and pavers (Not HD) and ask them about the bonding agents. You could always buy a speed bump and glue that down, just like the road guys do...and they do stick and hold if you do it right...good prep and the right epoxy. Speed Bumps http://www.barcoproducts.com/speed_bumps.asp If all else fails, Use Miracle Putty. Billy Mays says is will stick to anything. Rich |
