What Makes Us Special
Why Choose Squatch Epoxy for Concrete
Surface Preparation
The Right Concrete Surface Profile for Every System
Achieving the right concrete surface profile is essential for proper coating adhesion across every flooring system. The surface profile determines the depth and texture of the concrete surface and must meet specific requirements for the coating to bond correctly to the substrate.
Multiple Surface Prep Methods for Every Condition
Squatch Epoxy uses mechanical grinding, shot blasting, abrasive blasting, needle scaling, pressure washing, and low pressure water cleaning to address every surface condition. The preparation method is selected based on the specific requirements of the concrete surface and the presence of contaminants, existing coatings, oil, grease, dust, dirt, and debris.
Moisture Testing and Relative Humidity Assessment
Determining relative humidity and moisture content of the concrete substrate before any coating is applied is a step Squatch Epoxy never skips. Standard test methods are used to assess moisture levels and confirm the concrete surface is suitable for the selected system before installation begins.
Surface Defect Identification and Repair
Cracks, fractures, brittle encrustations, and contaminated concrete are fully identified and repaired before surface preparation begins. Removing laitance, grease, oil, and surface contamination creates a sound concrete substrate that allows the coating to achieve proper adhesion and long term performance.
How We Work
Our Concrete Surface
Preparation Process
10+ YEARS
A five-step process from assessment to walkthrough. Proper preparation separates lasting coatings from those that fail.
Concrete Surface Evaluation
Logan evaluates the concrete surface, determines the surface profile required, and identifies any contaminants, defects, or moisture conditions present. Prior coatings, acid treatments, and contamination history are gathered at this point to determine the right preparation method.
Surface Contamination Removal
Oil, grease, dirt, dust, debris, and existing coatings are removed using scrubbing, pressure water cleaning, or compressed air suited for the specific contamination present. Contaminated concrete that cannot be cleaned through surface methods is addressed through mechanical preparation to expose sound concrete.
Mechanical Grinding or Blasting
Mechanical grinding or abrasive blasting creates the right concrete surface profile needed for coating adhesion. Shot blasting is used for larger and irregular surfaces including overhead surfaces while diamond grinding is used for standard concrete floor surface preparation.
Moisture Testing and Primer Application
Standard test methods assess relative humidity and moisture content before any coating is applied. Once the concrete surface passes testing a suitable primer is applied to the profiled surface to create the bond point needed for the flooring system to adhere correctly.

FAQ’s
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is concrete surface preparation so important?
Concrete surface preparation creates the surface profile and removes contaminants that allow a coating to bond correctly to the substrate. Without proper surface prep even the highest quality coating system will fail to achieve the adhesion needed for long term performance.
What preparation methods does Squatch Epoxy use?
Squatch Epoxy uses mechanical grinding, shot blasting, abrasive blasting, needle scaling, pressure washing, and compressed air methods depending on the specific requirements of the concrete surface. The method is always selected based on achieving the right concrete surface profile for that installation.
How does moisture affect concrete surface preparation?
Moisture present in the concrete substrate prevents proper coating adhesion and causes flooring systems to fail prematurely. Squatch Epoxy uses standard test methods to determine relative humidity and moisture content before any coating is applied.
What surface defects are addressed during preparation?
Cracks, fractures, brittle encrustations, surface contamination, and existing coatings are all identified and repaired during surface preparation. Removing laitance, grease, and oil is also completed before any new flooring system is applied.
Does Squatch Epoxy follow industry standards for surface preparation?
Yes. Squatch Epoxy follows preparation techniques and test methods aligned with standards recognized by the International Concrete Repair Institute for concrete surface profile and coating adhesion requirements.
