FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you remove old carpet glue from basement concrete?
Yes! Carpet adhesive is one of the most common things we remove. Our grinders strip it efficiently, leaving clean concrete ready for your new floor.
My basement floor is uneven—can grinding fix that?
Grinding corrects minor unevenness and high spots. Significant low areas may need self-leveling compound after grinding. We'll assess and recommend the best approach.
Do you test for moisture before finishing?
Yes. Basement moisture affects flooring choices. We can perform moisture testing and recommend appropriate flooring or moisture mitigation if needed.
How dusty will grinding make my house?
We use industrial dust collection, and many clients are surprised how clean we keep things. We also seal off the work area from the rest of your home.
Can you polish my basement floor instead of adding flooring?
Yes! Polished concrete is a great basement option—durable, moisture-resistant, and attractive. We can grind and polish to the finish level you want.
How long after grinding can new flooring be installed?
For most flooring, installation can happen immediately after grinding and cleaning. If using adhesive or moisture-sensitive products, we may recommend 24-48 hours.
