Originating from an initial discussion on the smell of sulfur seeping through the basement floor, the owner asked about the sealing qualities of V8 High Performance Coatings. As a 100% solid floor coating, the product would definitely encapsulate what it covered. It’s strong bonding characteristics, color and texture options, the project grew from a simple clear coat to a full chip application covering nearly 1,000-sf of partial finished basement. Prep work will include crack filling with the V8 Fast Patch product. Grinding is possible within about an hour or two of applying meaning there will be no wait time in prepping. The entire surface will be scored using 7” hand grinders and as well as a 17” grinder with vac attachments to minimize dust in this occupied home. The no VOC (no smell) was a huge selling factor and knowing the floor will outlast their kids growing up made V8 an easy choice.
Pictures will be added as soon as possible.
Basement Project Continues!
The scope of work increase with the addition of a 500-sf crawl space that needed sealing and crack repair. The special blend mixture of chips the owners selected also took additional time to order and ship. The project continues to be a great success even with the challenges that arisen at seemingly, every corner. Previously replaced concrete created uneven level changes that took considerable effort to smoothen the transition and cracks that were allowing air to escape from under the floor created bubbles in the material and had to be dealt with as well. In all, over 1,600-sf will be completed this week with final picture to come. Here are some of the progress photo’s so far.
Basement is complete!!!
