Who Needs Concrete Services?
If your concrete shows signs of cracks, damage or deterioration, our concreting service is for you. Homes and businesses with concrete surfaces, big and small, who are looking to have an epoxy coating done, all require their floors to be well prepared before any work can be done. Our epoxy flooring team make sure to assess every part of your floor so they can come up with a plan on how to best progress with the job - as factors like the type, age and exposure can vary between different environments. Whether the existing slab damage is minor of extensive, we'll give you an honest assessment of what work needs to be done any why.
Why Concrete Surfaces Break Down Over Time
At first glance, concrete can look indestructible and hardy, but in actual fact, is porous and vulnerable to its environment. One if the biggest factors impacting the lifespan of concrete is moisture, as it can easily seep into the pores, expanding the concrete from the inside during temperature drops, and as a result, forming surface cracks. For Ballina's coastal environment, salt air accelerates concrete deterioration by pushing moisture deeper into the slab. Most concretes you see are often not sealed, making them vulnerable to weather, stains and constant foot traffic, ultimately accelerating surface deterioration.
Why Proper Concrete Preparation Is the Most Important Step
Ballina's Epoxy Flooring pros treat surface preparation as critical step to never skip over as we understand that an epoxy coat is only as good as the surface it's bound to. Our epoxy team are all equiped with a handy diamond grinder to assist them with opening up the concrete, creating an optimal surface for the layered product to bond to. Skipping this step would have the poured epoxy sit on the surface rather than bonding to the concrete, which would peel and lift after a few years. Our concrete services help to repair cracks, surface contamination and stains before any epoxy is done, that way you can be assured that your epoxy will last for years to come with little to no maintenance.
How We Assess Your Concrete
When you schedule a site visit with one of our epoxy flooring pro's, we'll conduct a site assessment. This processes begins with walking through your space to analyse moisture levels, existing damages and the current state of your floor before any repairs are done. The information gathered will be used to help us determine what repairs and preparation is required, how long the job will take, and which coating system to use. Conducted moisture assessments will also be done to see if moisture vapour transmission is an issue and how it may impact your concrete. We'll make sure to give you a breakdown of the repairs upfront so that you're not surprised by any hidden fees.

Our Concreting Services
Our concreting services at Ballina Epoxy Flooring, provides essential surface preparation for your floor that include crack repair, concrete cleaning, contamination removal, and surface protection. Our epoxy team take time to address your flooring concerns to ensure your floor is clean and ready for maximum adhesion for whatever coating system required for your space.
Surface Grinding & Preparation
Uneven concrete surfaces can lead to safety issues like trips and falls. Our epoxy flooring pros use a diamond grinder to help level and open the concrete to ensure the epoxy bonds properly, while having an even coat across your floor. Doing this step correctly helps to prevent home and workplace injuries and accidents.
Crack Repair & Injection
There are different degrees of surface cracks which all require different repair techniques. We inject the cracks with either an epoxy filler or with polyurethane which helps to prevent further splitting. Repairing these cracks individually helps to create a secure base before surface wide coating is applied.
Concrete Cleaning & ContaminationRemoval
Having residual oil and grease on the floor prevents epoxy from properly bonding to the concrete. Using an industry grade degreaser solution helps to remove surface contaminants before grinding and pouring begins, aiding to help the epoxy form a stronger bond and seal.
Concrete Sealing as a Standalone Service
Not every concrete requires a full epoxy coat, but rather a sealant top-coat. A protective coat helps prevent moisture and staining without changing the appearance of the surface - like for outdoor spaces, driveways and paths which benefit more from a cost-effect coating solution.
Under every durable epoxy coat is a good concrete base. This starts with proper flooring assessment and preparation to address underling issues and fixing them, setting up your floor for success to perform for many years to come. Contact us today to get started and we'll arrange a time that suits you to conduct a free site visit to assess what work your floor actually needs.
