About EBD’s Surface Preparation
Every time our team prepares a surface for future work, we follow the same process to ensure durability, safety and a pleasing appearance after completing your work.
Our thorough process includes:
- Assessment: Evaluate the condition of the concrete surface to determine the appropriate preparation method
- Cleaning: Remove all debris, dirt, grease, and oils using pressure washing or detergents
- Repair: Fix any cracks, spalls, or holes using patching compounds or repair mortars
- Profiling: Use grinding, shot blasting or other methods to create the desired surface texture
- Dust Removal: Vacuum and clean the surface to remove all dust and debris
- Testing: Conduct water absorption or adhesion tests to ensure the surface is properly prepared
The Importance of Surface Preparation
Properly completed surface preparation will make the work last longer, look better, and hold up better. Skipping this step can lead to a costly mistake that can last for years.
Good preparation helps with:
- Improve adhesion of coatings, flooring systems, and repair materials
- Extend the lifespan of completed work
- Create a more uniform and professional appearance
- Reduce future maintenance and repair costs
- Improve workplace safety and performance
