Although tough, concrete is in truth porous. Water can be wicked up by concrete and flow through it. Along the way, the water dissolves salts in the concrete and moves them to the surface. After the water reaches the surface and dries, the salts are left behind creating the unsightly white product that often forms on concrete called efflorescence. To stop efflorescence, you require concrete moisture remediation.
If you see joints or cracks in your concrete that never completely dry, this indicates a significant cache of moisture underneath your concrete. Many people attempt to conceal the issue with ceramic tiles or DIY epoxy. Without a quality sealant, however, the water finds its way through, resulting in loose tiles or coatings that bubble and peel away. Then the problem is worse and more expensive to fix.
What to Do About Ground Water
Some water problems are serious enough that in addition to sealing the concrete, you simultaneously need to take other actions outside the building. But when the problem is just in the concrete, our epoxy sealing treatment is enough to waterproof the concrete. Then you can confidently install ceramic tile, carpet, laminates, or wood floors.
The water remediation treatment benefits a concrete floor of any age and is fast enough to prevent unwanted delays for planned remodels. If you have any questions about moisture remediation during your remodel or building project in Zephyr Cove, please give Nevada Custom Coatings a call or schedule a free consultation online.
