The most common reasons why epoxy coated floors fail include lack of surface preparation, choosing the wrong type of coating based on the floor condition, or using an epoxy not rated for the type of intended use of the floor. Smooth or dirty floors have less bonding space, which in time can come loose, causing the floor failure. The crucial step when applying an epoxy to the floor is to have the floor entirely clean, opening the concrete pores and allowing the epoxy to latch onto a greater surface area.

Removing epoxy can be performed either chemically or mechanically. Removing or replacing epoxy coating is a common service request which we perform using various equipment, including grinding, shot blasting, and sand blasting.  We use various machines, tooling, and passes to ensure 100% coverage. Additionally, vital to the process is ensuring all grinding dust and debris is collected.
