High Or Low Spot? Accurately Assess Sub Floors For Proper Concrete Grinding And Concrete Leveling.

428-428-3880 - https://www.dustram.com/ & https://www.azhomefloors.com/ & http://www.dustfreetileremoval.com/ I often get calls from homeowners requesting we grind concrete inside their lived in or occupied home. The homeowners or perhaps their installer has discovered what they believe to be a "hump" in the floor. After professional assessment, many times the exact opposite is true. The problem might actually be caused from a low spot and not a high spot. This video will shed light on this truth.

Furthermore, I've seen many installers and homeowners attempt to use grinding as a way to avoid using leveler, even if leveler was the best solution. Please understand there is no amount of grinding, which can repair a low spot in the floor. It wouldn't be feasible or cost effective to even try. At best, with grinding you could fade the low spot over a larger area, but in the end all you've really accomplished is to move the "straight-edge rocking" fulcrum point farther away to a new position. The end result? You're now left with an even larger low spot, plus you've lost the opportunity to create a really flat floor for your next installation.

Sometimes there are truly humps in floor, but I've seen strange solutions by some installers and homeowners. Some try to "fade" a high spot by using leveler to "float" the hump over a larger area. The end result? You're left with a wider hump, but make no mistake, there is still a hump. At this point, I'm usually called to grind away the leveler and then continue grinding away the remaining hump in the concrete. The repair has now become even more expensive for the homeowner. Why? Factor in the cost of leveler, primer and the labor to apply it. Factor in the cost for grinding off the leveler and factor in the cost for grinding the original hump. The repair can often cost twice as much as it would have cost by doing it right the first time. The goal was supposed to be a flatter floor, but the opportunity was missed by using incorrect techniques. Don't let this happen to you! Assessment of your concrete by a professional having the proper equipment is crucial to achieving the flattest possible floor.

It is also impossible to accurately assess large areas of concrete using only 4', 5', or 8' straight-edges. For those who doubt this statement, the video will clearly demonstrate how using these shorter lengths of straight-edges produce extremely inaccurate results. It should be noted, assessing concrete requires at least 10' or even longer straight-edges, to determine what is really happening at the surface areas of the concrete.
