White powder on the slab, a coating that bubbled from underneath, a basement floor that sweats every April. Moisture vapor is the one thing a coating can't outmuscle — it has to be measured and managed first.
Water vapor moves up through concrete from the soil below, especially in basements, slabs without a vapor barrier, and lots near the Jordan River, Utah Lake, the Great Salt Lake and irrigated farmland. When it hits an impermeable coating it pushes — and a coating without a moisture-tolerant primer bubbles and lifts. Efflorescence (white salt powder) is the same vapor depositing minerals on a bare slab.
Nearly every home here has a full basement, and spring runoff plus irrigation raises the water table for months. A carpet in that basement is a gamble; a coated floor with the right primer is not. Basement floor coatings.
After testing, usually yes, with the appropriate primer. We won't coat without the numbers.
Not through a coating. On a bare slab, a penetrating sealer slows it and grinding removes it.
