Many Twin Cities basements suffer from moisture vapor transmission through century-old foundations. Our vapor-barrier epoxy system creates a seamless membrane that locks out humidity while providing a comfortable surface for rec rooms and home gyms.
The process begins with specialized moisture testing using protocols developed for our local soil conditions. We then apply a breathable epoxy primer that won't bubble when groundwater pressures change seasonally. The final quartz-filled coating provides slight cushioning - ideal for play areas in Maple Grove family homes.
Unlike vinyl plank or carpet that can mold, our system is impervious to the occasional seepage common in Minneapolis basements after heavy spring thaws. The glossy finish also reflects light in typically dark lower levels.
