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 |

I have never heard of Sakret, but I have seen at Home Depot and Lowes the Quikrete line. They have a Concrete Resurfacer, which I think is the same sort of product. It is polymer based, and it seems very similar to the concrete self leveling stuff I used inside my home before putting the wood floor down. I wonder how many inches high I could build that stuff up.
