Frequently Asked Questions about Basement Floor Coatings

Why is a basement coating better than carpet or tile?

Basement floor coatings can alleviate or prevent some common problems experienced in basements. Those problems include musty odor, mold/mildew in carpets, and mold/mildew in the tile grout.

Our basement floor coatings are seamless and monolithic. Once cured, the coatings have no pores, so the concrete no longer breathes moisture up and down through the coated areas of the concrete slab. Therefore, the floor coatings prevent moisture transmission and mold cannon grow in the coatings.

What if I still want carpet in my basement?

Not a problem. In the common areas (not storage), most of our customers utilize a color scheme in their floor coatings that easily allows the use of decorative throw-rugs and large carpet pieces.

This gives you the ability to remove rugs if a water problem is anticipated due to heavy storms or changed out to match new furniture, holiday decorations, or when a new look is wanted.

Many of our available colors are "earthy" in nature, so the use of accent carpets can really make your basement come alive.

Is this the same as an epoxy paint kit?

Not at all. The garage floor paints and epoxy paint kits available at big box and paint stores are not in the same class of materials. Our basement floor coatings utilize the same materials we commonly place in commercial and light industrial applications.

The garage floor paints and epoxy kits are, essentially, fortified latex or enamel paints. They lack the bond strength, durability, and chemical resistance of STRONGHOLD FLOORS' coatings.

What happens if I get water in my basement?

A simple mop and bucket or a wet-vac will do the trick to remove the water. Our coatings won't be damaged by water that comes into the basement via the walls, wall-to-floor joints, drains, or sump pits.

The only time a basement floor coating would be impacted by water coming into the basement is if the water is actually pushing through the slab (called hydrostatic transmission). This is extremely uncommon. We protectively search for these conditions that may cause this situation during our initial site assessment. If we feel your basement is not a candidate for a basement floor coating, we'll tell you.

What if we have old asbestos tiles in our basement?

Prior to the application of the coatings, the asbestos tile and mastic (glue) will need to be abated (safely removed).

We don't provide abatement services, but we have several companies we work with that can assess, test, and abate asbestos tile and the mastic. If you require these services, simply contact us and we'll be happy to refer you to the appropriate asbestos abatement company.
