Can you pour concrete on concrete I had an addition added to my garage and the new section is over 3 inches lower than the original?
You should be able to pour an additional 3" over the new section. It wouldn't hurt to coat the existing with a bonding agent, after "keying" the surface by roughening it so that the new slab grips onto the old. First check whether these was a reason for the slab being laid at that level. Is it to do with the moisture barrier of the new slab? Slabs that do not have moisture barriers are often set below those that do to reduce the chance of moisture entering the dryer slab. If the slab level is a mistake then any contractor who poured it should be liable to pour a topping slab to bring it the correct height.

To level a cement slab effectively, you can use a self-leveling compound or a leveling screed. First, clean the surface of the slab and ensure it is free of any debris. Then, mix the self-leveling compound according to the manufacturer's instructions and pour it onto the slab. Use a trowel to spread the compound evenly across the surface, filling in any low spots. Allow the compound to dry and cure according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Alternatively, you can use a leveling screed to manually level the slab by spreading and smoothing a thin layer of concrete mix over the surface.
