A coated basement slab stops the concrete dust, brightens the room and wipes clean after a washer leak or a muddy hockey bag. Laundry rooms, storage areas, home gyms and rec rooms are all good candidates.
Unlike carpet or laminate, basement epoxy flooring shrugs off a damp spell or a washer leak. The slab gets a moisture reading first, so the coating stays bonded.
Basement epoxy flooring can bubble or lift if water vapour pushes up through the slab. Parts of Moncton sit on low, flat ground in the Petitcodiac valley, where the soil stays wet longer.
Each slab gets a moisture reading before it is priced. A high reading calls for a primer designed for damp concrete. That primer holds the vapour back so the basement epoxy flooring above it stays put.
A radon test is a sensible first step before basement epoxy flooring is installed. Health Canada found about 21 percent of New Brunswick homes above its radon guideline.
Filling cracks and coating the slab can close some gaps, but a floor coating is no substitute for a radon system. If the test reads high, have the mitigation system put in first, and the floor can be coated around it afterward.
Basement epoxy flooring comes in three main looks: solid colour, flake and metallic. Plain grey or beige suits a laundry or storage room. Flake gives a gym floor a bit of grip and hides dust.
A finished rec room can take metallic epoxy flooring for depth and shine. Samples come with us on the visit.
Basements in Sunny Brae and the Old North End often carry cracks, paint and leftover tile glue. Newer basements in North Moncton and Dieppe usually have a smooth slab with a builder's curing sealer. Both get ground before basement epoxy flooring goes down, and cracks are filled along the way.
Basements collect sand, salt and wet boots from the side door all winter. A sealed floor turns that mess into a two-minute job with a damp mop.
Water from a washer, a water heater or a dehumidifier sits on top of the coating instead of soaking into the slab. That keeps stains and musty smells down.
Most basements have a floor drain, a sump pit or steel posts under the main beam. Each one needs a neat, sealed edge so water cannot creep under the coating.
The grinder works tight to every post and drain, and the coating is tapered so it finishes cleanly. Sump lids stay removable for service.
A home gym is one of the most common reasons people call about a basement floor. A flake system under rubber mats handles dropped weights, sweat and the odd spilled drink.
Rubber mats can sit right on the coating. Where free weights get dropped often, a thicker build adds protection. Prices for basement floors in Canada usually run $4 to $8 per square foot, depending on prep and finish.

Polyaspartic floor coating is the quick-turnaround choice, since a garage coated on Tuesday usually has the car back inside by Wednesday. The clear layer also stays water-clear under summer sun.
