Concrete Floor Repair
Resinous Flooring Concrete Repair in Baltimore
Concrete floor repair is a crucial step in ensuring a stable, long-lasting foundation for resinous flooring systems such as epoxy, polyaspartic, urethane, and methyl methacrylate (MMA) coatings. Addressing underlying concrete issues not only extends the life of your flooring but also improves its performance and appearance.
Common Concrete Floor Issues
-
Cracks: Result from settling, temperature changes, or heavy loads.
-
Spalling: Surface deterioration caused by freeze-thaw cycles, moisture, or poor concrete finishing.
-
Pitting: Small holes or depressions from wear, corrosion, or chemical exposure.
-
Uneven Surfaces: Due to poor installation, ground shifting, or heavy equipment use.
-
Moisture Intrusion: Excess moisture leads to bubbling, delamination, or adhesive failure.
Causes of Concrete Floor Damage
-
Heavy Traffic: Industrial equipment, forklifts, and high foot traffic can wear down concrete.
-
Chemical Exposure: Harsh chemicals can erode the concrete surface.
-
Moisture and Water Damage: Water infiltration weakens the concrete and impacts resinous coatings.
-
Thermal Expansion: Temperature fluctuations cause the concrete to expand and contract, leading to cracks.
-
Poor Installation: Substandard concrete preparation and mixing result in weak, uneven surfaces.
Concrete Floor Repair Methods
-
Crack Filling: Using epoxy or polyurethane fillers to seal and stabilize cracks.
-
Patching: Repairing spalled or pitted areas with polymer-modified concrete or epoxy mortar.
-
Grinding: Leveling uneven surfaces to ensure a smooth substrate for resinous coatings.
-
Moisture Mitigation: Applying moisture barriers or vapor sealants to prevent water intrusion.
