Epoxy Flooring in Springville, IA

Epoxy flooring in Springville works on some of the oldest residential concrete in our service area. Census survey estimates for 2019 to 2023 put the median Springville home at 1965, and 34.8% of homes were built in 1939 or earlier. Another 23.6% were built in the 1970s. The town is small, with 502 housing units in the 2020 census, so most of the floors we see here are in single-family homes that have been lived in and reworked for decades.

Questions we ask about an older Springville floor

Has it been painted or sealed before? Old coatings must come off. Grinding removes them along with the weak top layer of concrete.

Are there cracks, and are they moving? Static cracks can be filled and ground flush. Cracks that open and close with the seasons, or that have one side higher than the other, may need a flexible joint or concrete repair first.

Does water ever show up on the floor? A basement that gets wet after heavy rain needs that fixed before a coating. A basement that is just damp can often be handled with a moisture-tolerant primer.

What do you use the space for? A storage basement, a workshop garage and a finished family room each call for a different system.

1970s garages

Nearly a quarter of Springville's homes date to the 1970s. By now, many of those attached garages have years of road salt worked into the surface, with pitting or flaking near the door. We grind past the damaged layer, fill the pits, and build back up with an epoxy base. A flake broadcast hides what is left of the old wear and adds grip for winter boots.

Basements in the old part of town

Pre-war basements often have floors that were poured thin, patched over the years, or added after the house was built. They can be uneven and dusty. A coated basement floor seals that dust in, brightens the room and makes the space easier to clean. For a laundry or storage area, a solid-color epoxy is a practical choice. For a basement you are finishing, metallic epoxy is an option worth seeing samples of.

Owner projects

The same ACS figures show 80.7% of Springville's occupied homes are owner-occupied. Many of the calls we get from towns like this come from owners updating a house one room at a time. We quote each floor separately so you can do the garage this year and the basement next year if that suits your budget.

Daily use and winter salt

Springville sits east of Marion, and most people here drive to work in Marion, Cedar Rapids or beyond. That means a car coming into the garage every evening with snow and brine on it. On an older garage floor, that salt gets into every crack and pit. Once we have sealed the slab, a quick squeegee after a storm and a rinse in spring keep the floor in good shape. We include written care instructions with every job, matched to the topcoat we installed.
