Concrete floor repair is the groundwork under every good coating. We chase out cracks, rebuild chipped joint edges, fill pits and patch scaled spots, and we fix failed coatings and floors worn thin as well.
We handle concrete floor repair in garages, shops, warehouses and plants across Prince George. Most of it is done as the first step of a coating job, though we also repair floors that will be left bare.
A lot of Prince George sits on fine silt and clay laid down by an ancient glacial lake. The City's own engineering reports describe that soil as prone to frost heave, because it holds water and forms ice layers when it freezes. Garage aprons, unheated shops and older slabs crack and step at the joints because of it.
Concrete floor repair begins by working out whether a crack is still moving. A moving crack gets a flexible filler. A stable crack is chased out and packed with epoxy so it will not telegraph through the new floor.
Diamond grinding is step one on every floor we install. It strips old paint, glue, oil and the soft surface of the concrete, and it leaves a rough texture the coating can grip. It also takes down raised lips at cracks and joints.
Concrete floor repair and grinding go hand in hand. We grind, patch, then grind the patches flush so nothing shows through the finished surface.
A peeling coating usually failed for one of three reasons. The slab was never ground, moisture pushed up from below, or the coating was far too thin. We find the cause before we start, then grind the old coating off entirely.
If an old coating is sound and only worn, we can sand the wear layer and recoat it, which costs far less than a whole new floor. After the concrete floor repair, most homeowners go on to a new garage floor coating.
Not every repaired floor gets a coating. Some shops just need broken joints rebuilt and potholes filled so carts and forklifts roll smoothly again. We can do that work on its own and seal the slab afterwards if you like.
Salt scaling looks like the top of the slab has peeled away in thin patches, usually near the overhead door. It shows up in a lot of Prince George garages that spent years without a coating.
We grind off the loose surface, fill the low patches with a polymer repair mortar and grind them flat. That concrete floor repair gives the slab a sound face again, and a coating on top keeps the scaling from coming back. Deep damage can be built back up to the old level, so the floor still drains toward the door.
Phone (778) 744-5382 and we will come look at the slab and price the concrete floor repair. Our other services are on the Prince George Epoxy Flooring home page.
Lots of projects pair a garage coat with a basement floor, or a shop coat with slab repairs.
Garage floor coating keeps salty slush and drip oil sitting on the surface, where a squeegee can move them, rather than soaking into the slab. Every garage gets a diamond grind first, which gives the resin real concrete to grab.

A shop floor coating shields the concrete in a working bay from oil, coolant, road salt and falling steel. It is built heavier than a house garage floor, with grit locked in so mechanics stay on their feet when the bay is wet.

Basement epoxy flooring replaces a cold, powdery slab with a sealed surface that shrugs off water, dropped weights and spilled detergent. Lower levels that have ever had a damp corner are where it pays off most.

Industrial epoxy flooring gives a plant a thick, sealed surface built for forklifts, hot water, oil and chemicals. The thickness is set area by area, according to what rolls and spills across each part of the floor.

Polyaspartic floor coating is the quick-setting option for cold Prince George garages and shops. Each coat firms up within hours, even in temperatures that would stall ordinary epoxy, and most floors take a vehicle about two days later.

A warehouse floor coating ends concrete dust, brightens the building and protects the slab from forklift wear. It is one of the least expensive ways to make a warehouse easier to clean and safer to work in.

A coated commercial floor is joint-free, mops clean, resists stains and holds up to carts, rolling chairs and winter boots. It replaces tired tile, carpet and bare concrete in clinics, offices, shops, showrooms and staff rooms.

Spilled acid, caustic, solvent and fuel will eat bare concrete and ordinary epoxy, and a chemical resistant floor coating is the barrier that stops them. Battery rooms, chemical stores, labs, wash bays and process areas are where it belongs.

A metallic floor is a decorative resin finish with swirls of shimmering colour that look like polished marble or stone. It goes over concrete in basements, home bars, offices and showrooms.
