Common Concrete Flooring Problems We Solve
Concrete floors are built to be strong, but over time, everyday use and environmental exposure can take a toll. Vehicle traffic, foot traffic, moisture, temperature changes and chemical exposure all contribute to breakdown when the surface isn’t properly protected.
Cracks, stains and wear often make spaces harder to maintain and less visually appealing. Basement floors commonly struggle with moisture-related issues, and in both residential and commercial settings, slick or uneven surfaces can create safety concerns. In garages, shops or industrial spaces, oil, chemical and abrasion damage only add to the problem.
RS Surface Coatings starts with surface preparation and appropriate repairs. For applicable flake floors, an MVB epoxy base helps manage moisture vapor within its documented limits, beneath the decorative finish and compatible topcoat.
