I primed my concrete floor first with a good quality primer, then used a light gray concrete floor paint. 2 coats and it hasn’t chipped yet in 4 years
I have a spot on my floor that stays wet. How do you dry it and keep it dry long enough to seal it.
When you scrub the area with water and a broom and you can't rise it with a hose, how do you get the acid wash/degreaser off?

I don’t know about the degreaser, but the concrete itself neutralizes the acid. Concrete is very alkaline, which is why the acid attacks it. In the process of doing so, the acid is neutralized.
Anyone else bugged that they never show the floor completed?
No, can't say it bothers me. I heard all I need to know... don't need a visual example.
@@dannydougin3925 i appreciate visuals
So if the plastic does show some moisture does that mean you shouldn't paint? Or could you bring in a dehumidifier
I live in Florida. Do I need a concrete sealant (that gets down into the concrete) to avoid moisture issues? Or should I use a brush-on primer/sealer such as those made by Killz?
What is the remedy if floor has humidity leave dehumidifier ? This video is not clear !!!
My question too
Technically, a surprisingly incomplete video. Then again, they're trying to sell stuff, not answer questions.
bingo!
What do you do if the floor IS causing condensation? Is there a paint for floors to keep down moisture?
Why didnt you reply??? PPG
@@waltertunk2964 call the company and ask, why would a paint company pay someone to answer UA-cam comments?
I want Don Henley to paint my basement floor.
Agree he can do my floor and wall when finished with yours...
Question please. If there is moisture in concrete what will be the corrective measure to apply coat?
I am disappointed no one has answered your question
@@kymberlydawn1445I'd recommend a dehumidifier sized for the cubic ft. of your basement. As the air dries the moisture in the floor will migrate into the air and eventually you will have a floor ready to paint. Good luck.
Of course the concrete you guys are working with is already rough and ready to be painted... how convenient.
Is there a nachine that will help clean a large dusty concrete basement floor? I dont think it was sealed
why bother? the best is a solid clear my friends. Painting wont remove humidity on the floor, humidity raises up from the ground this is because your French drain around the house might be damaged with time or if you have a dehumidifier then this helps lots as basements are prone to humidity but is controllable. Now painting the cement would cause this humidity to be trapped in the ciment, I can guarantee you that you will be pissed when you start seeing cracks in your cement also the paint will start bubbling etc..
Your best shot is the dehumidifier I got mine 5 yrs ago and it still runs great, clean the screen every month or so and I have the drain going directly in my sumpump hole
Recommends using 3M tape. Actually used Scotch brand tape...

Uh...
I have a question; it might be a silly question, but do I need to shut off the boiler pilot to paint my basement floor?
So what if there is moisture, what do you do?
Now that is a real radio voice. Wow
I am running a commercial dehumidifier in my 1700sq ft basement. In order to do the moisture test, how long should I keep the dehumidifier off, or should I keep it on and put the moisture test at the other end of the basement?
These guys are top notch 👌
I imagine they are in their 80 by now
So, what to do if the plastic is moist?
Buy or rent a dehumidifier large enough to dry a basement of your size.Should be ratings on the dehumidifier for that. As you do this the floor moisture will migrate into the dry air and eventually be dry enough to paint. Then use a sealer-type paint that prevents moisture/radon from entering the basement. Have fun!
what if the floor is rough? I've tried to clean it but its different to brush. I wonder if I need to sand it down before applying sealant.
Brillant that you showed the end result. Oh wait..... you didn't!
can I put sticky tiles on it after its dried?
I enjoyed the video. FYI: porous not pourous ;-)
Great sound and content. Why so many down votes?
My guess? They don't bother answering all the questions about solving the moisture problem.
Do I clean the floor with just water??
I was waiting for the finished product...really???
Hi, my home was built in the 40's. It's very uneven. Is there anything I can do about this?
Try using a handful of 3 ton floor jacks and place them under the parts of the house which are sagging. One by one, slowly start to raise the floor jack in order to bring that section of the house to your desired level. I'd recommend using at least a 4 foot level to make sure it is actually level.

Tapes the 2/4 work table legs lol for a basement just cut and roll bro
So what can you do IF you find moisture on the plastic sheet? Can you still coat it? Are there additional steps you can take?
You should probably run a dehumidifier for a few days.. That should do the trick.
how do I dry it?????
Well, you may need as much as a drainage tile installed with a sump pump or try running a dehumidifier for a week or so.
did you figure out how to dry it?
I recognize the Breakthrough right away
finished product???
How about a primer?
What's the point of painting the basement floor?
It looks nicer, brightens the room.
A good epoxy resin could make your floor look great and seal the concrete in addition
