I noticed that either my driveway is rising or the garage floor is sinking. At the join between them (they are separated by a 1/4" gap filled with a felt type material) the driveway sits about 1" proud of the driveway, whereas previously they were level (or close to level). There is no evidence of cracking on either surface. The house is around 20 years old, and concrete drive was resurfaced several years ago (nice job too from what I can make out).
I think the cold is responsible - it's -30F up here in Minnesota today, and has been in the 0 to -20 range for few days. Does this sound plausible?! Someone told me that the expansion of ice underground can cause roads and driveways to rise. I don't see any evidence of the garage floor having dropped. If I am lucky, the levels will revert to their original positions once it warms up a little....any views on that? If anyone can help me understand this any better, I would be very grateful!
TIA
