Transforming a Dusty Laundry Room: From Cracked Walls to Fresh and Clean!"

As a trusted concrete contractor in Philadelphia, Dependable Concrete is committed to delivering high-quality solutions for all your basement wall needs. In this video, we showcase our expertise in parging basement walls and basement wall waterproofing in Philadelphia.

The basement walls were cracked, peeling, and unsightly, which is not the kind of environment our client wanted for their tenants. Dependable Concrete was called to fine-tune this space, and our team quickly got to work.

To prepare the walls for parging, we carefully cleaned and applied glue to ensure the cement would bond securely to the surface. We also added fiber mesh to the cement mixture, which helps prevent hairline cracks in the walls. With the help of our skilled employees, we used a mortar sprayer to efficiently and consistently apply cement to the basement walls, reducing time and manual labor.

Our attention to detail is what sets us apart. We meticulously smoothed the cement between pipes, protecting the faucets and pipes, to achieve a clean and professional finish. We sharpened all corners and edges for a drywall-like look, ensuring the walls would look stunning for years to come.

After the walls dried for five days, we reconnected the washers and dryers for the tenants' convenience. However, we had to wait for five more days before brightening the space with bright white waterproofing paint. For the best results, we used Loxon, a high-quality waterproofing elastomeric paint from Sherwin Williams, which we applied using a paint sprayer. This provided precise and even coverage, with a consistent finish.

As experienced concrete contractors in Philadelphia, we understand that managing a paint sprayer requires a unique set of skills. Our team is trained to prime the machine, filter the paint, and be aware of overspray. We also stressed the importance of thoroughly cleaning both the gun and paint sprayer after every use to ensure they are ready for the next project, reducing downtime due to a clogged sprayer.

Using a paint sprayer not only helps us save time and money by covering large areas quickly and evenly, but it also helps us reduce the amount of paint used, resulting in cost savings. However, we still use a brush and roller to touch up small areas after cleaning and storing the sprayer.

In the end, the results speak for themselves. The contrast between the before and after is remarkable, with the basement walls now boasting a bright, clean space that tenants can enjoy. At Dependable Concrete, we take pride in our work and prioritize quality and productivity, providing our clients with exceptional results every time.
