Removing Standing Water from Your Garage

You can experience safety and cleaning issues when water is left standing in the low spots of your garage for several days.

You can experience safety and cleaning issues when water is left standing in the low spots of your garage for several days. Spilled liquids often pool in low spots created by the troweling process when the concrete is poured. You can level your garage floor by filling these low spots with a 100% solid epoxy. You can avoid damage to your items which are stored on the floor by adhering berms within an epoxy floor to contain liquids.

Hot gluing molding strips onto the floor before applying your epoxy coating is a simple way to have berm flooring contain liquid spills. A watertight barrier is created when you apply the epoxy as it will seal the molding into place. You can often easily contain liquids with just a quarter inch of berm.

Epoxy flooring can be Class III laboratory qualified, which means that it is easy to clean and will resist both mold and mildew. You can even use harsh cleaners and heavy abrasion on epoxy coatings which are bleach resistant.

These types of coatings have been used successful for swimming pools, garages, warehouses, and other industrial spaces for years. When installing an epoxy floor you can choose between a smooth and a skid resistant finish. You can use just about any cleaning method on epoxy coated floors, including scrubbing and pressure washing. You can easily rinse off mold, mildew and other contaminants. You will easily be able to wipe up the harshest chemicals as most will not penetrate the coating. This is a far cry from the older types of flooring such as tile, wood, paint, and carpeting which can get easily contaminated and damaged from cleaning. You can use epoxy coating over the entire floor, and even apply it up the wall for water containment in flood prone areas.

You can purchase industrial flooring kits that enable even the beginner to apply the coating themselves. The kits come with easy to understand and follow directions and 24 hour a day online support.
