Concrete Grinding FAQs
An Important Process
Concrete grinding removes the top layer of a concrete surface using specialized equipment with diamond or silicon carbide blades. It's needed when preparing concrete for coatings, removing contaminants, leveling uneven areas, eliminating trip hazards, or creating a proper bonding surface. At Victory Cleaning Systems, we use advanced grinding equipment to effectively prepare your concrete for whatever comes next, whether that's polishing, applying decorative finishes, or creating a smoother, safer surface.
Important Preparation
Grinding and polishing both use diamond tooling but serve different purposes. Grinding is a preparatory process that removes surface defects, coatings, adhesives, or contaminants to create a clean, level substrate. It's the first step that corrects imperfections and creates a uniform base. Polishing follows grinding, using progressively finer grits to achieve a decorative, high-gloss finish. Think of grinding as the essential foundation that makes polishing possible—grinding prepares the surface, while polishing enhances its appearance.
Great Question!
At Victory Cleaning Systems, we use advanced dust containment systems during grinding to minimize airborne particles. Our equipment features vacuum attachments that capture 95-99% of the dust generated. While no grinding process is completely dust-free, our control measures significantly reduce environmental impact. For sensitive areas or ongoing business operations, we can implement additional containment strategies and work during off-hours to minimize disruption. We also thoroughly clean the work area upon completion.
Usually a Few Days
The time required depends on several factors: area size, concrete condition, type of coatings being removed, and desired outcome. For an average residential garage (400-500 square feet), basic grinding typically takes 1-2 days. Larger commercial spaces or floors with multiple coatings may require additional time. During our initial assessment, we'll evaluate your specific situation and provide an accurate timeline. We understand that time is valuable, so we work efficiently without compromising quality.
