Floors for a City That Remembers 1996

Epoxy flooring in Naperville starts with a question about water. Wikipedia records that in 1996 the city received 14 inches of rain in under 24 hours, with damages over $30 million, and another major flood followed in 2013. Most homes never took on water, but the storms are a good reminder to test every basement and garage slab before sealing it under a coating.

Built in the 1980s and 1990s

Naperville tripled in population during the 1980s and 1990s, per Wikipedia. ACS figures summarized by Point2Homes show 24.9% of housing built in the 1980s and 26.2% in the 1990s. Garages from that era are often two or three cars wide, with a slab that is in decent shape but has long control-joint cracks and salt wear near the door. Those are good candidates for a full flake system topped with polyaspartic.

Lower levels and moisture

Many Naperville homes have finished or partly finished basements. Before we coat one, we test the slab. If moisture readings are elevated, the primer we choose is one designed for damp concrete. If the home has a history of seepage or a sump that runs often, we may suggest dealing with that first. A coating does not waterproof a basement, and we will not sell it as if it did.

Wide garages, smart layouts

With 62.8% of units single-family detached, per the same ACS summary, large attached garages are common. Owners often ask for:

A flake blend that hides salt and dust in the parking bays.
A slightly heavier coat under a workbench or storage racks.
A grit additive near the house door, where wet shoes land.
A clean edge at the base of walls so the floor looks finished.

Research and office floors

Naperville sits inside the Illinois Technology and Research Corridor. Wikipedia's 2020 list puts Edward Hospital at 4,500 employees, Nokia at 2,750 and BP America and Nalco at 1,200 each. Labs, data rooms, clinics and loading areas need floors suited to carts, chemicals or frequent cleaning. We can walk a commercial space and note where a specialty coating is needed.

Weather to plan around

The record low in Naperville is -29 F and the record high is 105 F, per Wikipedia. Coatings need the slab and air in a set range to cure. We schedule unheated garages for spring through fall.

Naperville Questions

Will an epoxy floor stop water from coming into my Naperville basement?

No. A floor coating is not waterproofing. If water enters through walls or cracks, that needs to be fixed first. We test moisture and tell you what we find.

Is a three-car garage a one-visit job?

Usually the work runs a few days, depending on which system and how many repairs. We tell you the schedule and when you can walk and park on it.

What happens if my garage floor has long cracks?

We clean them out and fill them before coating. Cracks that move get a flexible filler so they are less likely to show through.

Do you coat lab or research spaces?

We can look at them. Some need chemical-resistant or static-control systems, and we will say during the visit if your space needs a specialty product.
